I played in two strange games in terms of scores. In one game we were losing 5-0, pulled back to 5-5, only to lose 6-5 with the last kick. That was gutting, especially as I missed a good chance at 5-5.
In another game, we drew 6-6 with each team scoring alternately. I think I was in the team that levelled up six times, but I'm not 100% sure.
I also recall a game where we took the lead within 30 seconds of the kick off but lost 11-1 or, maybe, 12 or 13-1.
My dad (reputedly) left with 30 mins to go as did the rest of the crowd so in reality it was only the away supporters there after 90 mins (supposedly)
Not true, I and my father stayed until the end at the open end (now Jimmy Seed stand), and there were many around us, not sure where this story about all Charlton fans leaving before the end came from, no doubt many may have left

Meant tongue in cheek along with the "I was there's ".....
I'm a proper bore with my kids , whenever we play football , table football, sometimes table tennis and the score is 7-6 i get them to recite the 5 goals Johnny Summers , 1-5 down , ten men , 20 mins left mantra .... It's now said with a groan and before i get a chance to prompt them ... anyway they have email now !!

I bet you enjoyed the play off final against Sunderland, the first time and your kids hated it
I don't know why Trotter persists with that 2-3-5 formation.
And where are the goals coming from? Summers is only averaging one every two games. FFS ... that means that in every other game he doesn't score. What the hell is he there for?
I was there, aged 11. Hence my username. i used to stand with my Dad way up on the East Terrace and lots of people certainly did come up past us towards the Bartram Gate as we fell further behind but many stopped or came back in again as they heard the sound of our goals going in.
We could do now with a player with a strike rate anywhere near as good as Johnny Summers - 100 in 177 games. But then that's been true every season since Summers. Tragic that he died aged 34 only a year after retiring from Charlton.

I was born 7 months earlier and claim to have been there (because I could have been). For others to disprove ;-)

Who is up for (re)creating the match thread?
Bloody Ufton, made of glass we're going to get absolutely shafted here.................
Can't see this Huddersfield manager having much of a career ....
