    Brighton night game, 4-3 1977. Getting swept out of the Covered End by the crowd, my feet not touching the ground.  14 years old and I was Charlton for life!  Those night games in the 70's were life affirming legend.
    Me too, swept off my feet and thought I may be heading down the stairs head first.

    I'm slightly concerned I might get banned for spamming my like button tonight on everyones posts but please everyone keep it up! 

    mine is slightly more recent just for a bit of a change - Alfie May's reaction to the covered end after the penalty V Fleetwood this season right at the start of this run of goals. The keeper was being a prick - saw it with my own eyes - he got booked for it but won my heart this year based on that alone.

    The late late Jacko show against QPR. 

    Still love Jacko to bits.

    That was some game, think we were 2 up then 3-2 down and came back and won it.

    First time, probably only time, I've seen a penalty taken three times.

    The standing ovation Kinsella got when he returned to play for his new club.

    Several Villa players shook his hand as they recognised the status he held at the Valley.

    Maybe not magical but certainly being present for The Hales/Flanagan fisticuffs was memorable and legendary

    Ending Huddersfield’s unbeaten run, can’t remember how many games, at the Valley. 2-0.
    Pretty sure it was 7-6 and I should know as I was there.

    Many great ones here, as already mentioned the bedlam when Robbo equalised against Man Utd and Newton's goal v Ipswich were pretty special, I will add the balloons lifting off the pitch at the first game back, and what they represented.

    Prattley’s slide-in goal against Doncaster that took an incredible game to penalties and, ultimately, Wembley and promotion. The noise as the goal went in at a packed Valley will stay with me forever.

    Away from The Valley, Danny Mills’ pile-driver to give us a 4-3 win at Villa Park when we were down to 10 men and with Brownie in goal as we had no gk sub on the bench was truly magical. It was a vital goal and an unlikely win that gave us a chance of staying in the Premier League. Fantastic support and atmosphere that day.

    Boxing Day 2003 is the best for me. That win against Chelsea. We were so damn good.
    Came here to post this.  Always great to get one over on John Terry, horrible human being (but quite a good defender, maybe related)

    No, their unbeaten run started the game after our 7-6 win.

    Great when Di Canio turned him this way and that to set up the third goal.
