Nothing gave you goose pimples like walking into the forecourt on an evening game and seeing the NEW stand all lit up.

Never seen this footage before. An early job for John Stapleton. It made me chuckle when Baldwin, Hollins, Demps' and Stapleton lined up near the edge of the pitch then, took a further four paces forward before the interview started! Probably looking for a bit of grass so as not to get their flairs grubby.

Like the roll of karzi paper- sorry “streamers” as they were known that got thrown from the Shed. ( Think similar got slung from the Stretford End during the 70s replay) One of those things you don’t see at football anymore- checklist before leaving the house for a game- wallet, fags, bog roll.....

Yes, I remember this game very well as it was the one and only time me, my brothers and my mate got involved in a 'dust up' with some Burnley fans. Being small and spindly at that time (not now though), I tended to avoid the rough stuff but, they started taking the piss out of Bonetti's hairstyle etc. and my brother, who is ace at local dialects, returned the piss taking by targetting their midfielder Doug Collins with "C'mon Collins, get thy finger out yer big poof." in a Burnley accent. Down they come, then some plain clothes coppers appeared out of no where, collared the Burnley fans and marched them off. Very funny because they ;left us alone!

Or the alcoholic 'carry out' being openly taken onto the terraces in the mid - late 1970s. That was a memory from I started going to football then ! My old man used to take a transistor radio in his pocket so he could listen to Radio 2 ' Sport on 2 second half match commentary. He always wanted keep up to date with the Chelsea score and other English results. We lived in the West of Scotland.

Those orangey / chocolate 'sweets' you used to get at the football. (Certainly in Scotland in the mid 70s-mid 80s. ) I don't think they were ever sold anywhere else !

He always wanted keep up to date with the Chelsea score and other English results. We lived in the West of Scotland. It’s been spoken about before but when the specials were “dry” you used to see bottles of fizzy drinks taken on board half full of spirits, plus bags of oranges injected with vodka. A couple of times I’ve had to watch games with one eye closed otherwise there’d be two of every player. A fairly well known Chelsea fan in the past we’ve had to walk through to the turnstiles with one on each shoulder otherwise he’d had fallen over. A funny one was the league cup final against Arsenal in sometime in the noughties- early kick off in Cardiff- coach picked us up at 6 in the morning at Wimbledon- mad looking loner in the front seat drinking neat vodka out of a paper cup! Can’t ever remember coming home from a cup final anything other than legless- your either celebrating or commiserating- win or loose we’re on the booze! Edited August 30, 20187 yr by Ewell CFC

August 30, 20187 yr 27/10/1975 Chelsea drew with Italy Under-23 0-0 in Prince Philip Cup 1 hour ago, Boyne said: A couple of pictures from when we played the Italian U23 side in October 1975. Prince Philip presented the trophy. First photo above. The Duke of Edinburgh presents the Prince Phillip Cup to Chelsea captain Ray Wilkins left, and Italian under 23's Captain at Stamford Bridge, London, after the 0-0 draw charity match in aid of the National Playing Fields. The Italian U23 captain was Francesco Graziani and he appeared in all of Italy's matches in the 1982 World Cup Finals in Spain, as they beat West Germany 3-1 in the Final to win it for the third time in their history. He won the Italian Championship with Torino in 1975/76 and was the top division's top goal scorer the following season in 1976–77 scoring 21 goals. Graziani left Torino in 1981, moving to Fiorentina for two seasons and he missed winning another Title in 1981/82 by a single point to Juventus In 1983, he was signed by Roma, with whom he won the Coppa Italia twice, in 1984 and 1986, He was a member of the Roma side that lost on penalties to Liverpool in the 1984 European Cup Final in Rome. He missed a penalty in the shoot-out. He'd a good record for Italy when he played for them at full International Level from 1975 - 83 playing 64 times, scoring 23 goals.
