Just copy the url of the youtube clip from the address bar (Ctrl + c). Then paste the url into a comment box here (Ctrl + v) and the site will automatically format it for you.

You still think so ?

I think that picture is either late 1950s or early 1960s.

1965 v Spurs FA Cup.

We beat Spuds 1-0 on Sat 20th Feb 1965 in the FA Cup .

Barry Bridges scored in front of 63,205.

I thought that the photo was between 1958-62 to be honest.

Absolutely. More pride in their appearance back in the day compared to now. More get up and go, too.

Then on Wed 10th March in the League. We beat Spuds 3-1 in front of 51,390. Venables in the 42nd, Tambling in the 44th and Bridges in the 73rd minute were our goal scorers. Gilzean got their consolation goal in the 75th minute.

Or 8.1.64  . FA Cup 3rd Round Replay 2-0 win, crowd 70,123.

Edit- probably not. The replay was played on a Wednesday ( night game presumably). It's daylight here so I'd agree with 65.

Could be a relative of his he's from Battersea and I think he's a Chelsea fan. Not a fanatical one but I think he went occasionally as a kid.

Today in 2006, The King of Stamford Bridge,Peter Osgood, sadly passed away.

Some player.

'Here was the poetry of football and it came with a magical exchange of passes between Hollins,Hutchinson,Osgood and the hard running Cooke. Over came Cooke's perfect chip and there was Osgood infiltrating from the left side to head a magnificent goal.

The Times report on The Kings equaliser at Old Trafford v Leeds in the 1970 FA cup replay.

Yes, some player. Met him about a year before he passed away. Was on the plane to Barcelona for a CL game. Had time to talk to the fans and have photos taken with them. Had a photo taken with him. Sadly I lost it. From the club website:

Met him a few times ,the first as a 10 /11 year old .I was lost for words standing in front of the  real  life Ossie  ,I can’t remember what I said and what he said. I do know though that he was a star in my eyes then and  is still one now

RIP

This paragraph below from that club website link made me chuckle.... You could just imagine the rowdy "lubricated" players causing havoc and chatting up Pans People !.

"Well lubricated to help ease the nerves, the Chelsea players had no problem making themselves at home in the BBC Television Centre, even befriending famous dance troupe Pan’s People before heading back to the King’s Road for a night out."

Think Ron had tried to break every bone in George's leg that day. What a duel. 

 

If you watch Ossie on Youtube the amount of times he gives the opposition fans the old v sign is hilarious.
