In the Net

I remember that there use to be a flower bed behind each goal at Eastville.

Great pics @erskblue - thanks for posting. Always love the photos which show the cars parked behind the goal - was this unique to Stamford Bridge? I've also wondered if they ever got damaged when it all kicked off and people went on the pitch!

A very interesting read - thanks for taking the trouble to post it.

1977

This is what Man Utd fans were wearing in 1971

Tommy Langley, Micky Droy and Ron Harris - end of season awards 1978

Skipper Ray Wilkins - would have been 63 today.

Don't think I've seen a 3.30 p.m. kick off listed before. Any idea why this one was?

John Hollins at Hamleys toy shop, with a young fan, Christopher Newton - 1972

Another team bus pic - September 1979

Fashion shoot 1979 - I'm assuming that Graham Wilkins drew the short straw to wear the silk bomber jacket!

Chelsea v Bristol Rovers 1979, with a young Gary Mabbutt looking to thwart Tommy Langley's efforts.

Whenever I see this one, I wonder what that bloke has got in his carrier bag!

Ray Wilkins - modelling in Pink magazine, 1977

Mike Brolly - played a few games in the early 1970's before being transferred to Bristol City.

Possibly Gary Stanley?

v Oxford 1975 Can anybody name the players please?

Training session prior to the 1975 game v Spurs. I think that's the longest I've ever seen Chopper's hair, perhaps he was trying to keep up with the young 'uns!

State of that pitch - but they still managed to perform magic.

Finally been confirmed as a done deal. 🤞

SSN just clarified that the move to Burnley is not confirmed yet.

Big bust up with Frank, from a player who should be leading by example for the young ones. Good move by Frank to put down his marker as to where he stands with people who are not fully on board with what he is striving to achieve.

Alan Hudson at WHL - 1971

Is that Roger Kirpatrick in the middle?
