Agreed. Got the 1970 short sleeved one for Christmas.

I really like the 1976 top and the 1978 tracksuit top.

Yes indeed!

 

Surprised that Eddie only played 23 times for Scotland. But back in his day there was a lot of competition from other very good fullbacks. He did, though, play in one of Scotland's greatest ever teams: the one that beat England at Wembley in 1967.

Will be great if he comes onto the pitch at half-time on Sunday.

Wonder what Eddie Mac thinks of the changes to The Bridge since he was last here?

I will always wonder what could of been

I could have died the day he went, my mate phoned me and asked if I'd heard the news, I thought he was going on about Virginia Wade winning Wimbledon.

All over a car and then we had to suffer those w**kers Blanchflower and Hurst/Gould.

Bit Pete knew..

Saw him a few times in the Lord Palmerston 20 minutes after the game, sitting at the bar with a pint and a ciggie...

A few of the players used to get in through the garden door, like we did before the pub reopened for non regulars 

Wolves 1 Chelsea 1 1977

Good team picture of the early 1960s team with a young Eddie Mac in it on the official site.

The historical Chelsea v Sunderland part of the build up to the game tomorrow.

We beat them 7-0 with Bobby Tambling getting four.

Sorry it was Portsmouth we beat 7-0.

21st May 1963 at The Bridge in front of 54558 as we won Promotion back to Division 1.

Here's the picture

Boyne: Cheers for posting the picture from 1963.

Also the team group from 1976/77. Looks like a Shoot magazine photo.

I would have had the 1976/77 team photo on my wall as a kid.

 A Google search says it's a graham Moore ...have to admit it had me stumped .Welsh international forward 

Edited May 21, 20179 yr by F1905

Graham Moore played for us 36 times in the League in 1962/63 scored 8 goals. Made 4 FA Cup appearances scored 1 goal.

In total he played 72 times for us scoring 14 goals between 23 Dec 1961 and 2 Nov 1963. He moved to Man Utd in Nov 1963 for £35,000.

Played 21 times for Wales.

Graham Moore sadly passed away on 9th Feb 2016.

The official club site had a tribute to him on 11th Feb 2016.
