Was that Danny's first signing as manager?

Sorry,could not resist...

Not a great time,but I was still optimistic every pre season back then.

This would be our year.

The innocence of being a young fan.

Grim times being a Chelsea fan, the team may of been crap, but we always looked the dogs in our blue umbro kit and white socks!!!

Agreed mate. Then came the classic Le coq sportif strips of the 1981-86 era. Both the Umbro and the Le coq sportif strips were the business.

A fine header of the ball. I think this is the game in 1985 where we won 2-1 and Southall was sent off. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The Everton sides from 1984/85-1986/87 won two Championships and a European Cup Winners Cup. They were runners up in the FA Cup Finals of 1985 and 86 and runners up in the League in 1985/86.

Hutchinson scored our goal I think. Not sure of the Everton scorers.

I think we were in the trinity stand that day and remember our lot coming in the right side of the Holt end just as the game ended. Lot of H to H outside too.The memory a bit blurred but think we took a 'luxury' coach  a year or two later and were seated above the away end. The driver took us back to a pub we used to regularly stop at outside MK and when we left later he was so bladdered he wanted one of our lot to drive it home. We sobered him up with a pizza.

I remember going to the England v Italy match in 1973, which turned out to be Ossie's last international. Numerous times he found space in the penalty but was starved of service from stuck up bas***ds like Peters, Clarke and Bell. Ramsey never liked him much either, hence only 4 caps.

No problem for him finding the back of the net. What a player.

Thanks. If I remember correctly Southall gave the V sign to the Shed after being sent-off.
