Jimmy Case Hat-trick

[Barry Izbak]

26 years ago today:

The famous game when we spanked Charlton 7-0 and JC got a hat-trick. Now that was a bloody good day out, and one of those ones that you really felt we might make double figures.

5-0 up at half time, and apart from the hat-trick, Gerry Ryan, Gordon Smith and Terry Connor also got on the scoresheet.

Having just past my 40th anniversary watching the Albion my memory is going down the drain fast, but this is one game that does stand out.
Bring on The Addicks this season

Terry Connor bowed to The West Stand as he left the pitch!

Rammed in the East Stand - that really was a great game. Favourite Jimmy Case goal was a pass from Gerry Ryan that dropped over his shoulder and Case hit it on the volley from the edge of the box into the goal in front of the south stand. Superb day. Shame it's not on video somewhere.

I was there.

We didn't even play that well in the game but an old Charlton supporting friend said that it was possibly the best display of finishing he had ever seen. I couldn't argue with that at the time and I can't say I've seen better since.

I was also there at the back of a then roofless north stand

Down the road behind the East Terrace - flippin' ruffians

happy days.

It was glorious sunshine that day. me & my old man on the north west terrace. marvellous scones

 

[Simster]

I remember that day. Went to Bexley to visit Granny and Charlton-supporting Grandpa. We got there just as the half time scores were being read out on the telly box - marvellous.


They did us 5-3 at home the following season though.

Didn't Case get 4?
Next week we went to Grimsby and lost 5-0.

I was at both.

Charlton had had a good start and were unbeaten when they came to the Goldstone, so it wasn't a case of beating a poor side.

It was one of those days when just about everything worked.

I was there - in the Chicken Run

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Was there with my dad on the East Terrace. It was the third time I saw the Albion get 7, and haven't seen it since.

I remember some Charlton fans charged in through the gate on to the East Terrace and were just about to start causing trouble, but then just changed their minds and sloped off. Probably too demoralised.

Sausage stood proud on the north terrace.

sigh

Great game, i was in the South Stand with my Dad, usually we went in the North, bloody typical that the 5 goals were scored at the North end.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I'm pretty sure Case's volley was into the south stand though.

 

[Gritt23]

I was stood in the West that day .... with my mum! It was a great day, and especially funny the first half when we seemed to just constantly knock it out to the left wing, go down the line, swing the cross over and we'd scored.

Marvellous Scenes.
