Yes agree re the brilliance of the goals and the disappearing nads, wasn’t it cold, probably the coldest I ever been at a game of football.0

I was in Durban for the cricket. I popped into a boozer to watch the game and missed an Andy Caddick hat-trick!heckington_reds said:
Freezing me nads off that day...but it was worth it..what a strike.ElfsborgAddick said:This period was before money took over, the big players in our history.
Sir Clive and Johnny Robinson were paid a pittance in comparison to nowadays.
Such a shame that that players need to sell important things in their playing career.
Robbo's goal at Huddersfield was one of THE best goals I have seen from a Charlton shirt.0 -
I watched it in the One Bell in Crayford (pre Bullard ownership) - with my neighbour - we were the only 2 Charlton fans in there, and the grumpy barmaid threatened to chuck us out because we went bonkers when Robbo scored - and I agree, one the best Charlton goals I have seen - that win started the run to winning the league - don’t think we lost a game after that, until final game of the season vs Ipswich from memoryElfsborgAddick said:

Ok thanksLordflashheart said:
Defo - he shouts at them ‘fuck off’ after he scores - I think - after his 2nd goal - clear as day on the coveragecharltonbob said:
Have we ? Maybe I have & didn't realise, is there footage available still (long shop I knowLordflashheart said:What were his emotions scoring THAT hat trick at Wembley in the best match Wembley ever had - and yes it was
We have all seen the footage of him telling the Sunderland fans to ‘do one’ when they booed him
But - as a lifelong Sunderland fan - must have been difficult
I know - if I had been good enough - and I played for another side, and I dumped Charlton out of promotion to the Prem or FA Cup, I would be in two camps, especially as my family would be watching - especially my late Dad, who if you cut him half, it would read Charlton Athletic all the way through

Well 12 on the trot until we lost to bottom of the league Swindon, when Kiley deflected a cross into his net!Lordflashheart said:

He did a few seasons back. Met him afterwards. Really nice bloke. Proper down to earth Sunderland lad. Though he was born in Islington.Valleyfan2 said:Would he ever consider playing in a Charlton Legends charity game?
Think he had work the next day at the factory so couldn't stay long.
He always seemed rather taken a back when he gets mentioned as a Charlton legend.

I must admit, I have wondered why he hasn't appeared on Charlton TV. I presume it may be the fee isn't worth the travel but I'll definitely get my brother to ask him.1

Why what's happening to it?Siv_in_Norfolk said:
Yes, please. While it's still as it isfenlandaddick said:Could he be a guest on Charlton TV?0 -
@MuttleyCAFC can you tell him he created one of the greatest memories of my life, let alone football memories. And thank him sincerely for that.I was in Sydney with two Charlton fans and about 500 Sunderland. Three of which said they went to school with Clive. They were minted businessmen and gave me and my mates their celebratory bottles of Moet at the end.My all time favourite player.God bless Super Clive.8
