Carsholton we all have our opinions and we are entitled to them........some vote out of europe others to stay in it is all about opinions.

I may well be wrong with greaves, everytime j saw him with the scouse sweatyon their football programme it was always Spurs this Spurs that and i hate N17 even  worse than Arsenal, scousers,mancs, pikeys from the east, geordies Welsh, celtic sweatys. South London pikeys,anyone who aint Chelsea......Though funny thing is i lke N17s manager even though he is an Argie.

Chelsea i love more than anything and soon will be visiting Stamford Bridge again. Not my Stamford Bridge anymore though still Chelsea.

It is all about opinions,keep up the good work

Now its folded into a carrier bag unless you go sports direct and they screw it up in a bag.

Those boxes made it feel special.

 

 

Missed out on that, 1978 Mine came in the post in a Jiffy bag!! It did come in clear bags with the Umbro logo on it. Sad I remember that, but it was so special to get my first kit. Those diamonds down the sleeves and shorts were the business!!!

There was something special about getting Chelsea kit at Christmas. I also remember saving up and sending away for a bundle of Chelsea home programmes advertised in Shoot magazine in the late 1970s every so often.

Also had a couple of admiral posters back then with various 'admiral teams' and a Puma football boot poster too.

There's the Empress State Building behind.

It always reminded me of the control tower at London Airport in a Thunderbirds episode. It was the tallest building in West London I believe

Yes, it was the tallest building in West London until Millbank tower was built. The Ministry of Defence used it for a while. Here's a picture of the London Airport Control Tower in Thunderbirds. FAB!

Trellick Tower not taller ?

According to Google, they're both 31 storeys. The Empress State Building is 117m, Trellick Tower 98m ( however if you add on the radio mast Trellick is taller)

Talking of tall buildings in West London, someone told me that the Worlds End Estate once contained  quite a few QPR fans even though it's on our doorstep.

The reason being that a lot of the residents used to live in the area that was flattened for the construction of the Westway

Your right. After Argentina 78 World Cup. My mum worked in a sports shop and the real thing was 60£! Mitre Multiplex 2.5 was around 25-30£ I found one in a tree at the Bank of England sports club which was near Barnes I think in 1980. Fantastic ball, lasted for ages and all my mates loved using it. Heavier than lesser priced balls but helped build your leg power for long passing and shooting.

Funny you mention the footballs as I recall former world cup competitions and the pundits used to talk about 'that world cup football' as regular good strikers of free kicks just could not strike it properly, at least for a couple of weeks. England always seemed to be the worst at getting accustomed to it!

Some local history lessons about The Bridge on here today. Cheers.

I remember that as well!!! As well as the chant of Wandsworth Bridge which I believe may of been where they were paid a visit after the game!
