Yet in that 1978/79 season we drew 0-0 at home to Liverpool who won the League with a new record points total of 68 ( still 2 points for a win remember). Scored 85 goals whilst conceding 16.

History lesson over.

Happy New Year to Blues fans everywhere.

boxing day v Ipswich if my memorys working

One of my ealier Chelsea matches, a Xmas Boxing Day treat where the whole family went. The first time I actually stood in The Shed End in the children's enclosure areas. I don't know why we went there and not the usual North Stand.

that reminds me. Petar Borita's debut, got quite lively outside before the game.

Remember seeing the old wooden doors at the Stamford gate being closed at 2pm, people trying to push them open and mounted police politely asking them to go away!!!!! They must of guessed how many thousands were behind the gates queuing up to the turnstiles as that forecourt was a big piece of land.

Tried running with everyone else around to the Bovril gate, no joy. So back home to Beckenham without seeing the game. The only silver lining was seeing the TV ariel on the embankment as I got the tube home knowing it was going to be on The Big Match Sunday afternoon. Ahhhhh the days before live TV games.

That game v Liverpool was recently shown on The Big Match Revisited.

Wish they would show games from say 1976/77 and 77/78.

Northstand being rebuilt, Coventry away kit the following year the same but in brown one of the worse kits ever until possibly our mid 90's monstrosity.

18 secs what Chelsea is all about well at least to us of a certain vintage.

Appalling decision on 4.30.

Have watched a few clips from that era in the last few days. Ray Wilkins was every bit as good as I remember. We played some great football with a very young, home-grown side. It all went wrong when Eddie Mac walked out over a petty contract dispute. Shellito was totally out of his depth, and then came Blanchflower, relegation, Hurst and Gould. They were a grim few years.

Great footage and pictures.

Cheers

Chelsea v Everton 1984, love pics like this, the fans, the clobber, the flags, the stand, our kit, all replaced now with selfie sticks held by tourists in their North Face jackets, club issued flags, (sigh)
