Corbychelsea

LOL Couldnt tell ya his name! Back then hardly knew anycnames, just faces you'd recognise as being Chelsea! Dark curly hair, always used to meet him at St Panc tube as he would come in via KingsX. Cant place anyone from Sheffield, suppose Chris from Rotherham is the nearest!

My first game (Everton 1975) I stood in the Shed up by the West stand. 90% of the time over the next 19 years I stood roughly in the same spot. Got to know a few around us, the Forest of Dean lads, the hippy from Birmingham, the lad from Retford who I hadn't seen for years until I met him on the tube 2 seasons back. Ventured into the Benches the odd time and the game nearest my birthday I'd "treat" myself to the East Middle! Didnt like the Prawn sarnies there though...

LOL I put a block on lifting pictures from the website www.corbychelsea.com because I found out that someone was selling watercolours of a picture I took! (Sheds last stand 1994.) I know there are ways round it, I just felt if someone wanted to lift my work I'd make it a little harder than a simple 'right click save' job! I removed the block a few weeks ago, you shouldn't have any problems lifting something, if there is, let me know! The website started years ago as an easier way to follow our predictions comp that we do each year. Back in 93 we photocopied everthing and posted them! Some of the gang moved to Oz & NZ a while back and they can now check themselves how good - or in my case bad - they are doing! Every so often I put a new page on with stuff that I've scanned from progs books mags etc or lifted off the web, including here. Currently updating the team pics page. Enjoy!

The Auschwitz 'incident' was in 1989, I remember some of them writing a postcard and sending it to Colin Moynihan, MP for Sport. We stayed in the same hotel as them out there for Poland v England. The HH saved many an innocent Chelsea lad get a shoeing. Safety in numbers indeed was a key thing back then, but also who was in those numbers.
