Bottom row, third from left, just about to reach for his prawn sandwiches, is Geezer's Grandad.

[Peckham Blue]

Hats hats, hats and not a Burberry in sight.

[maddoo]

Naah, I'm the one standing behind him, thinking about slapping the lead singer of the Rubettes (2nd from the left at the front) :(

That's Jack Straw in the dark suit, third row back.

He must be a Sheff Wed fan - I know Hattersley is.

Was it against the law in those days not to wear a hat?

Personally I like the guy near bottom middle who looks a bit like a sailor.

The ones that survived the first world war!

Bit difficult to say for sure - in the thread title it says it was on 10 April 1920, but on that day I recall we were playing away to Manchester City at Hyde Road. The home match against Sheffield Wednesday was played on 20 March 1920, and it was a 1-1 draw - John Lee got our goal.

The photo was taken along the west side of the ground, as you well know - you were standing next to me at the time! :angry:

Looks like they are about to break into a chorus of "F*** 'em all"

Great pic, My grandad started going to the Bridge around 1920, he died over 20 years ago now I went to many games with him and learned a lot about the pre-war and post War Chelsea upto the 70's cup winning side, in his opinion when it all started going down hill with all the "new fans" :P
