Found this by chance after looking at a newspaper article on Boris Berezovsky vs RA court trial and then I noticed the familiar chap below with the white hair.

Nice to see a former manager being invited to SB, I guess.

 

 

They’ve been friends for years. Bobby sat there even if Abramovich was away. 

Besty ,  Ozzie and Huddy 3 diamonds of the game. The pub went dry post match.

Noticed that the goalkeeper is wearing the same strip as the other players.

 

The same in that other picture that fitz posted. You knew he was the goalkeeper though, because he was wearing a flat cap.

If I remember right, Bestie once said that at his peak there would of only been one other club he would of played for apart from Utd and it was us.

Seb Coe at The Bridge watching us v Sheff Wed 1983/84. Its the first 60 seconds footage of this 1984 Seb Coe documentary.

First shown just before 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

Was looking for this for the That Season Thread.

Worth a look here too, in my humble opinion anyway !

Lydon's house in Gunter Grove don't know if that's the Bridge in the background.

Yeah I knew our keeper was Foulkes, but many keepers wore flat caps back then.

Agreed, the old North Stand in the corner.

Possibly 1970 ?

That might have suited him, London being less of a goldfish bowl than Manchester.

I saw Seb Coe in the crowd on the way to one of the FA Cup matches in the 90s.

Good pic. You can see the roof on Earls Court background left. Thought there might be a couple of floodlight pilons beside, but reckon they’re TV aerials!

It’s been my favourite away city for watching Chelsea over the years Sheffield. Had great days out at Bramall Lane and Hillsborough.

Both two proper old school grounds with decent away ends, (you never felt like you were about to be ambushed and  get your head panned in, unlike a lot of other big towns) , and furthermore proper fish and chips away from the ground.

My first long distance away was at Wednesday Sept 82- we lost 3-2- National Express Coach up there, and bunked the special back, hiding in the karzi when the ticket collector did his round ( along with about half a dozen other blokes all crammed in !)

That day we probably took about 3,000, and I was struck my how many Northern Chelsea were amongst us.

That was my first trip up there as well. I remember it because it was my parents's silver weeding anniversary, and my mum was a bit put out that I was late for their party!

I remember the Leppings Lane end being very full. Must have been in the pen where it all went so wrong seven years later.

Our first season wearing the blue shirts, blue shorts and white socks home strip .

Beating Spurs 2-0 at The Bridge in 1998/99.

Same again tonight please Chelsea,

Question on Pointless yesterday about naming the players in the 2017 cup final I struggled yet I know the 1970 and 1997 teams off by heart.

Frank Lampard’s incredible free kick gives Chelsea a 4-1 lead over Tottenham during the 2012 FA Cup Semi Final at Wembley.

Some goal.

Some player.
