The most entertaining game I saw at Wembley was in 1998 when I went up with a friend who was an avid Charlton fan. That play off final against Sunderland ended 3-3 after full time and 4-4 after extra time. Charlton won the penalty shoot out when Michael Gray missed his spot kick and sent the Addicks up into the Premiership.
In my opinion Jim Montgomery’s save was the greatest of all time.......better than Banksy’s.

Monty was still on his side after saving Cherry’s diving header when the ball arrived on Lorimer’s famed right foot and still he got his hand to it!

In my view one of the most iconic moments in the history of football.
