Bloke who lived near Sloane Square - was he a tall bloke called Jamie? I seem to recall him and his bro Simon.

 
Nice to see not only a few pictures of our support back in the day but some posting on here.

Long time since I have seen you Vinny / Finney although I do remember you helping out Bill Garner. :biggrin:

Is bearded Gareth on here as well?

 
That wouldn't be Gareth from North Cheam would it?

Anyone remember a big black geezer called Ali in the early 70's - I didn't see him much at home matches, more the away games. He managed to get the Chelsea to stick together after the game at Sheffield Wednesday in 1973, which saved our arses. No mean achievement back then when large numbers of Chelsea tended to disintegrate into smaller mobs and do their own thing.

That would be Ali aka The General.

Anyone heard the story of a Chelsea fan called Jesus who was caught by the home fans and hung by scarves, I think at Anfield but it could have been Old Trafford. This is supposed to have happened just before my time, in the late sixties. I remember talking about it and being told "I think you'll find that was Greenaway", but according to an alternative version Jesus was one of Danny's mates, and definitely not Mick Greenaway.

Ah, the Gareth I knew also supported Septic (we often rowed about it after a few beers) and had quite a few tattoos including one of a black panther on his forearm.

Sounds like him, haven't seen him in about 35 years, we had some great laughs back in the day - he'd be about 56 now.
