I want a Graham Wilkins v neck with his name below the best CFC Badge ever....how cool 😎

Cheers Ersk ,I think that spurts away picture in 72 is the 3 0 away defeat which sadly happens to be my first ever CFC game..what a sh*te start to 50 years of following the blues...least we have fukced them over on and off the pitch loads of times since

Ps great Ossie picture,never seen that one ☝️

Coin fights must be an east anglian thing as i always remember being in the corner at Ipswich and they has a coin net ,But all you could still hear was picnk pinck as they flew around through the net hitting the ground etc....mind you not as fun as being in the corner at Everton with golf balls flying about.... my older brother always claimed back in the late sixties it was razor blades stuck in potatoes flying through the air but i have never known if that was true or a wind up...?

That Villa park picture is excellent,i didnt spot Greenaway ,i was too busy scratching my head re the pint of milk bloke ,i mean why and whats he wearing ,plus white hat man and as you say walking sticks....wonderful if a bit odd Chi ..your brave going on the match day thread ,a mass of stupidity in one place .... last night wasnt great ,recent performances haven’t been great but fukc it win loose up the blues

Ah Barry Venison Always worth googling barry vension england Hickey re the Colin Ward book steaming in

The other thing I remember is we put 4 past Liverpool at home ,next home game ,we put 5 past Ipswich ,i was at those two then the next home game was this Burnley one where we scored 6 so im thinking it must be 7 in the next home game...so who we got Man united ..perfect but no

Great pictures of the cup game v Burnley thanks Ersk...was at the game ,mid week under lights ,went 1 down i seem to recall... why do these games mean so much but today’s games well meh heh ho win or loose up the blues

RIP the Doc For some reason when i see any picture of him ,especially in the sixties ,i always think he looks both dead hard and super cool at the same time

Cheers Ersk... would never ever have got that name so thanks...ps got to love the bounder site 👌

In that huddersfield picture from the right Steve Kember ,John Dempsey ,Dave Webb but on the far left hand side who is the CFC player? I started going early seventies and we all know that team but this player has me beaten but i know one of you will enlighten me cheers

It’s been very enjoyable reading and watching the cfc v leeds stuff the past 24 hours ...got me right in the mood ,we all hate leeds and leeds and leeds ...even my leeds supportIng mum has been on the phone giving it large ,not bad for an 87 year old ???

I didn’t realise DDR was banned ,he had some excellent stories ....anyway pre kick off i always liked how nearly every player had a song and when sung they would turn and wave to the shed.... when and why did that stop..? Just the modern game i guess .... Random examples Peter Bonetti clap clap clap Peter Bonetti ,Kenny Swain he’s here he’s there he’s every fuking where ...na na na na na Spackman ,la la la Zola

Bluehaze that Noddy Holder story didn’t half make me chuckle , brilliant

Trebor backwards is Robert ...just a thought ,anyway the real question is how did it only take him 4 weeks to build the east stand out of matches !! it takes me two weeks to find a box of matches ,a further week to find any glue then with my first attempt to glue two matches together i glue my fingers together which takes a further week to separate so im four weeks in and done bugger all but Bob builds a nearly full size replica in that time!

The bloke in the jumper was the Chelsea lottery seller ,used to stand just inside the ground at the foot of the shed steps i seem to recall...must admit never brought one but the peanut sellers ,well that was a different matter ,brought loads of bags

Cheers Ersk...Norbert cool

Good memories re Nobby ,not sure i saw him play live so good read Stretford ,how sad he like many of that generation had to sell their hard earned medals...shame the money bags PFA couldn’t have done more plus the clubs as well I appreciate the clubs are a business and do quite a bit on the quiet ,especially CFC in many ways but why cant they buy the medals then give them back to the families moan over.... RIP Nobby ps not being disrespectful but what was his first name as I presume Nobby was a nickname ?

In the Everton away picture nice Tunbridge Wells union jack ,i wonder who that belonged to 🥽

Add me to the nearly formed i never knew that about Tommy Baldwin club... cheers Stretford can i add I enjoy your posts ,i know youve been posting for a while but pleasure to read your take on old skool man u and cfc

Old Dell boy flogging those ski hats might not know his ski from his hat,he might even be off his bobble as he is even trying to flog Arsenal Celt@c half and half...i mean wtf

The Blue Flag collection not old ,unlike me but it gets worn occasionally

Trouble i had with subbueto was i had no one to play against ,ah so would spend hours taking free kicks from outside the box ,trying to score around and over the wall sad but happy i had the cfc kit but loved the palace embassey fag packet type one ,the don rogers kit,shame on me but at that age i had no real understanding of tribal hate tread

Zinc great memories ,your right about that walk, every pub had locals gurning at us as we went to the ground .Remember being behind the goal and im sure the terrace wasnt that deep as such and there were a couple of pens that CFC were in ....ive seen footage of Speedies goal ,on this Vintage thread i guess and our end looked great

Not football related but RIP Toots ....
