Sadly can't even remember the last time! You know what? Not bothered at all. Sky Sports is my mistress.

Just watched that, amazing !! Made my Saturday night !
The testimonial game was against Southampton.
The goalkeeper was Ivan Katalinic who actually saved the penalty but then seemed to think better of it and pushed the ball into the net as he went down.
I was at the Charlton reserve game. It was 17000 but Mullers didn't play.

Yes, that save was farcical! I'd forgotten that but now the memory has come back, I remember my dad moaning about it at the time!
Was there for that, wonderful bloke and great to listen to.
Yes - definitley Sully's testimonial against the Scummers.

It was Northampton and I am pretty sure it was announced he would play, hence the big crowd. He did indeed spray the ball about from the centre circle, but I have it in mind that he came on at halftime and the final score was 7-1, with most of the goals in the second half. I would guess not all of the ground was open as I watched from the West instead of my usual spot in the North.
Yes definitely played for reserves and then scored a pen for the first team in a friendly at the end of the season. ?Testimonial

If I remember rightly, Mullery said that he had it in mind that he might try abit of player-manager when he first arrived but he soon decided that it wasn't needed cause he had a captain on the pitch who was fully capable of running that side, Brian Horton.
I think we were about 3 nil down and the penalty was a dodgy decision but a typical testimonial thing at the time.
It was in front of the North Stand and Mullers milked it to the full!
I also remember one evening game. One of our players was injured in the centre circle. The St. Johns Ambulance service were making a real pigs ear of the situation.
Mullery ran across the pitch, picked up the injured player and carried him off over his shoulder.
