What a legend. His home debut against Utd is one of my favourite fan experiences, from the back of the JS.

Bent but that didn’t keep us up. Our 10 goal a season strikers were more than enough to give us several wonderful seasons ; I miss those days5 -
That’s amazing. Thanks so much for posting. Great goalkeeping at both ends too.Addickhead86 said:What a legend. His home debut against Utd is one of my favourite fan experiences, from the back of the JS.

29 years that goal? Where had the time gone???5

Similar to Leaburn and Magennis. It felt like having an extra CB at set plays.addick1956 said:

I often wondered whether like Arthur Horsfield or Ronnie Moore whether he could have played there for a while.0 -

I dont remember us chanting 'yellows, yellows, yellows' have they added that in from a Norwich game after JJs shot.1

we were at Anfield on a freebie sitting in the middle of a Liverpool stand and I made the mistake of standing and shouting when Shaun scored - not the most diplomatic thing I have even done but worth it

I agreed, and mentioned that we could go to Anfield in the afternoon. Didn't know how to buy tickets for the away end. When we turned up, I queued in their ticket shop, only to be told to buy them at the turnstile. So we bought 3 tickets just before kick off, and the crowd was 40,003.It was my wife's first Charlton game. A great day out.We should also have had a penalty when Gerrard pushed Bartlett in the back as he jumped for a free header, but that's never shown in any highlights.1

Table as it stood after the result…

Hadn’t winning in yellow become a bit of a trend that season? Blackburn, Birmingham, Liverpool… probably more that I don’t remember. Seem to remember thinking that yellow kit was a good luck charm and might explain the chant by this point in the season.0

Loved that team, 100% every week, mixed with some talented players! Shame our away following was so bad then, it was a huge game at that point of the season!2

How low we have sunk.0

Very interesting that below the top four, every single one of those teams has been relegated from the Premier League at some point since. Only two of them are currently back in it, with Fulham on their way. We're the only one of those teams to drop down into the third divison, but Fulham, Middlesbrough and Birmingham have all had relegation run-ins and last day survivals in the Championship. Birmingham stayed up on goal difference in 13/14, Fulham stayed up by 2 points in 15/16 and Middlesbrough ended the 19/20 season in 17th. Goes to show that as bad as our recent history has been we're not the only side who looks back on these years and wonders how it came to this.Callumcafc said:Table as it stood after the result…

Personally, I look at that table and think how incredibly we over-achieved.ElfsborgAddick said:How low we have sunk.
2 points off of 4th placed Liverpool after 32 games of a 38 game league season (and with a game in hand).
In 2022 terms we would be on-par with the likes of Manchester United.
Its absolutely mental.7 - Sponsored links:

Shaun, we loved you.0

Odd how these golden days just didn't get the fanbase going, as that bare away end at Anfield shows.
I know we're Charlton and our away support was consistently terrible in those days, but recent years have shown we can travel in decent numbers and make ourselves heard. Just didn't happen it all in this era though, even though we were flying high.3 -

We'd see some good numbers nowadays I reckon in similar situation.1 -
The first two Charlton players' names I got on the back of shirts as a kid were Bartlett and Fish. Loved those two, very glad they're coming back over.2
