Had everything. Seems that the pitch is massive from that angle, with lots of space, though maybe the quality of player, with good control creates the space. How good was tricky Ricky too. Will always be one of my all time favourite players. Great day and cup tie that, I remember not seeing that goal again for about 15 years after the day it happened in that dark era of no footage. Superb strike. And I also remember thinking it was an un-Charlton like following. Not seen similar from them before or since and we've been their opening away game of season once or twice! Quote

Same with Fulham they brought fuck all in the PL but then they won the championship they filled the lower tier They absolutely bummed us that day, in that we didn't touch the ball much Also thought we'd found a great player in Dean Holden around then, was gutted when he broke his leg Quote

Louis Saha was incredible. That Charlton game is one of those games that rarely makes anyone’s favourites list behind the obvious candidates but should be up there with the best of the rest. Remember it being a great atmosphere and, in my mind, it was absolutely chocker but watching it back now you can see big gaps in areas that we’re now filling every week in the third division! Quote

They had shit loads of lads from all over that day. At the time it was a bit of a communal jolly boys for exiled lads in London and banned lads from other clubs. They had QPR, Port Vale, Tranmere, and shit loads of Millwall out that day. It kicked off royal at the station after. Around the same time of Maze Hill..... Quote

Aye They scored in the first minute and the last and they just kept the ball to themselves in between You couldn't be pissed off, moan or boo at us, we just couldn't touch them Quote

Don’t think I’ve witnessed anything like that since! Quote

The ticker tape was a feature of even routine home league games around that time. Bedlam when Caldwell scored. Great that the players just ran towards the away end when the final whistle went, different times. None of the restrained hand shakes and hugs with the opposition that is common now, just raw emotion. We were penned in after the game for about 20 minutes, it was uncomfortably packed near the gates, although everyone was celebrating so it didn't seem to matter, but could have been dangerous. Lots of singing in the Vauxhall Chevette going back, young and naive, unsurprisingly got a brick chucked at car going through Scholes. Quote

radcliffe white Posted December 2, 2023 Posted December 2, 2023 Aye some outstanding performances from them 2, and a very impressive Fulham support that day Quote
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted December 2, 2023 Site Supporter Posted December 2, 2023 Just watched a couple of them rather than just fast forwarding to the goal. I was an 11 year old boy at Wigan, in that poxy stand. I remember going bonkers when the goal went in. Charlton was a cracking cup tie. Fish, Jensen, Holden, Solako, Todd, Barness all played/managed both teams. Speedo in attendance too. How good would Ricardo's goal have been late on if that crept in too Quote
