The club also competed in the FA Cup, and the League Cup. Season summary For the third season running, a late slump in form ended Charlton Athletic's hopes of European qualification. In 2001–02, they had finished 14th after failing to win any of their final eight games. In 2002–03, they had finished 12th after winning only one of their final ten games. 2003–04, however, brought Charlton's best ever Premier League finish, as well as their highest top tier league finish since 1952–53 (when Charlton finished 5th), as they came seventh. The club were inside the Champions League places as late as mid-March, but the familiar end-of-season setback, winning only four of their last 16 games, caused them to slip out of contention. At the end of the season, goalkeeper Dean Kiely was named the club's Player of the Year.
