Comments

  • Missed it by a gnats cock….my first game was a couple of months later (don’t know who against), aged 10.
  • What was the score in the cup game?
    Probably don't need to ask who won it !
  • I went to the Cup game a few weeks later.  We won 1-0.
  • Blackheathen many thanks.
    Not like Charlton at all, great stuff.
  • That only happened because the engineers had to dash off early to build a bridge or something.

    Went off to the dockside to welcome home Lt Chard from Rorke’s Drift - voyages by sea were slow.

    Proud to have been there.
    An enduring memory of mine is of John Summers bursting through a pack of defenders with the ball on the edge of the penalty area and all of them going flying like bowling pins.
  • I was there and still remember Buck Ryan diving header from Johnny Summers cross.
  • I was there and lost my school hat when I tossed it into the air when the final whistle went. Not sure, however, why I would have been wearing my school hat on a Saturday afternoon!
    It's still the best game of football I've ever seen and I'm still using 76 in some of my password numbers!
    It's OK, I can say that as no-one knows the rest of the password!!

    The museum have been contacted by someone, won't say who but a well known broadcaster, looking to speak to people who were at the game for a project they are planning.

    If anyone is happy to speak to them please inbox me with your name and contact details.

  • Thank you Henry, but I would rather not to a broadcaster. I have my memories and do not mind sharing some on here, but not anywhere else. I will be interested to hear about others though

    I was 5 months old.

    I wasn't there...

  • My Uncle John was there.    That's not a euphemism.
  • As a 5 year old at the time, I have no proof that I was there other than the memory of sitting on a barrier on the half way line and seeing a lot of very excited people holding up fingers and saying ‘3 in 5 minutes’ or something similar.

  • Went to a Charlton supporters meeting at the Bickley & Widmore Workingmens club some years ago. Derek Ufton who was the injured player in this match told us some years later he met Bill Shankley at Euston station. Shanks came up to Derek and said ''I never played that keeper again!'' Think Henry Irvine may have been at that meeting also.

    If you are basing it on Charlton scores, I will have the first guess.

    I received a call from the well known sports broadcaster (Henry didnt name him, so I shant).

    The background is that he wants to do a Podcast on the most famous game ever and he has chosen the 7-6 Huddersfield game as that candidate. He is seeking information from attendees and players, but there is only one player ( Huddersfield) still alive and in his nineties with little general memory. He did say he would keep in touch if the Podcast comes to fruition 
  • Thanks @PeterGage, he said he got a lot from your chat.

    I've spoken to Martin Tyler, for it is he, and he said it is OK to say it is him.

    Lovely guy but I kept thinking "you sound just like Martin Tyler".
