Nah not Feltham mate, one of our lot from North London..

 

That Derek Ridgers has some great photo's to be fair, didnt he ever do football? i bet he'd have some quality photo's from back in the day.

I'm not sure mate, don't think so........never seen any football pics, and he does usually promote all his old stuff and sell books with it.

Thats a shame mate, you saying he is Spurs got me wondering if he done their fans photo's from the 70s.

It's possible, he was born in 1952 so he'd be old enough. I'll ask him

Had an unexpected blether with a company driver who has been a Chelsea fan since the early 1960s. Part of our working area inside is called CFC and he got into a conversation over it standing for Chelsea FC.

His favourite all time Blues players are Ossie, Chopper Harris and Charlie Cooke. So the guy knows his Chelsea.

Was working at The Open Golf  and started talking to a guy about Chelsea and he started talking about being at the Greenock Morton v Chelsea Fairs Cup match in autumn of 1968 !

 

He wasn't into football, but was from London and was just working in Greenock at the time of this match.

 

Just thought I'd share that.

My father was at that game in the Chelsea end and my mother in the Greenock Morton end.

It was the first game both of them had been to against someone outside of Scotland as they were only young at the time.

Random fact.

Mayos:Cheers for that. Amazing what you learn on here. Not being sarcastic mate

Here's a newspaper clipping from that era.

You wouldn't get that now.

Great clipping. It was Mortons first and only time playing in Europe.

Ironic that Charlie Cooke, who grew up in Greenock missed the game at Cappielow.

This company make modern reproductions of old shirts...complete with shirt makers logo

That 1981 shirt was the last replica shirt i ever brought.I use to wear it under a black cardigan,jeans and monkey boots .... happy days

 

I still have it in my mass of CFC stuff ....

I see they left Alan Mayes off the 'who wore it?' bit!!

I would have loved to have stood on the west terrace.

 

In the days before undersoil heating, Tarmac melting road burners are used to thaw a frozen Stamford Bridge in 1963
