With Charlton Athletic hovering above the relegation zone, the early goal from Mark Kinsella with five minutes gone, boosted the home team's hopes, but Steffen Iversen levelled the scores in the 66th minute in the pouring rain. The Norwegian striker gave the ball to Tim Sherwood and got it back to sweep his shot past Andy Petterson in the Charlton goal.

Twelve minutes after the equaliser, Sol Campbell dived in to meet a corner from Darren Anderton and his header flew into the net. Two goals in the final couple of minutes from wingers Jose Dominguez and David Ginola to give Spurs a 4-1 win over the Addicks, who were relegated at the end of the season.

Gary Lineker scored a 57th minute goal, while the Spurs scoring was rounded off by David Howells who struck in the 78th minute to wrap up the three points.

Spurs suffered a big defeat at the Valley, despite Spurs having the best of this Second Division game until twenty minutes from time.

Hugh McAuley put the home side ahead in the second minute, but Peter Taylor headed home Don McAllister's left wing cross to equalise.  Taylor could have given Spurs a win when John Pratt put him in on goal, but the winger's shot went wide of the post and within minutes, Mike Flanagan had given Athletic a 2-1 lead in the 70th minute.

Completing his hat-trick in the 78th and 81st minutes, Flanagan gave Charlton a convincing score-line that the play did not really reflect.  The game was marred by Mark Penfold suffering a broken leg

22.04.1957 Spurs beat a relegation bound Charlton Athletic 6-2 at White Hart Lane in this First Division encounter. 

The first half of the match starred Charlton goalkeeper Reed, who stopped a number of shots on goal denying Spurs until two minutes before the break, when George Robb nodded in Terry Medwin's corner.

Early in the second half, Brooks was brought down in the penalty area and a spot-kick was awarded, which was taken by Tommy Harmer who struck the inside of the post, only to see the ball travel across goal from where it was cleared away by a red shirted player.  Harmer soon rectified his miss, scoring in the eighth minute with Brooks adding to the score four minutes after that goal and another eight minutes later, Terry Medwin made it 4-0.  The crowd celebrated this goal, as it was the team's 100th of the season.

Two minutes passed before Harmer put the ball in the net and then Danny Blanchflower put it into his own net to give Charlton a glimmer of hope, which was increased when Leary scored five minutes later.  However, Bobby Smith has the last word scoring number six with two minutes to go, pinning Charlton to the bottom of the table.

19.04.1957 Spurs and Charlton Athletic played out a 1-1 draw at The Valley on Good Friday.

Having started the match well, Spurs suffered a setback when Ron Reynolds took a kick to the head and needed treatment for concussion, so Tony Marchi took over between the sticks.  Tottenham took the lead with Danny Blanchflower releasing Johnny Brooks with a through pass that he converted with a good shot past Duff, who had kept Spurs out until then.  Reynolds was fit enough to come back on, but only as a right winger and before the interval, Marchi was beaten by Hewie's long-range shot that brought the home side level.

Reynolds did well out in his wide position and Spurs attacked looking for the winner, but Charlton matched them and Marchi was called upon to make a few saves from the Charlton forwards.

Twenty minutes in and Spurs took the lead through George Robb, when he nipped in to pick off a back pass and slipped the ball past Sam Bartram.  Charlton's Stuart Leary converted Bobby Ayre's pass just four minutes prior to the interval, scoring past Reynolds from a narrow angle.

The match-winner was Len Duquemin, who scored the winner through the keeper's legs six minutes after the half-time break to give Spurs a welcome away win.

03.09.1955 Spurs were hit by injuries to Withers (sustained in the previous game against Manchester united) and Johnny Gavin (in training), but were able to call upon fit again Eddie Baily and Johnny Brooks to face a Charlton Athletic side pushing up near the top of the table at White Hart Lane.

Spurs dominated a fast-moving first half, but with an error in defence, Charlton capitalised to score against the run of play on 18 minutes and take the single goal lead into the interval.

Brooks pulled Tottenham level about 20 minutes into the second half, but nine minutes after that Harry Clarke diverted a Kiernan cross past Ditchburn to restore the Addicks' lead.  Spurs strove to get back into the game, but a through pass for Leary saw the striker convert to make it 3-1, but Clarke's header at the right end from a Walters' corner six minutes later narrowed the gap, but the team could not quite force a draw and left the team towards the bottom of the Division One table.
