Me and mate did that with a few others when we played Liverpool in first season back in div 1 84/84, he ripped his Lois cords, climbing over, police told us to jump back, shed was so packed we struggled to see anything after that. Won 3-1 if memory serves me though

Remember the game. Didn’t realise people climbed over for that game, but remember it happening against Boro.

Been some really great pictures posted in the last few days ,many I’ve not seen before so thank you

Ah hum, better check out the top picture that has Fred Wades clothes shop in the photo which is opposite where s***s use to start their victory parades in N9 not far from N1* 

Yikes !! How do I remove it ?

As has kindly been pointed out by Nitro, I have made a terribly horrendous rick in one of my pics up there for which I can only humbly apologise .

If anyone can show me how to remove it , I would be grateful. Maybe report me for gross incompetence ??!!

Looking back at the highlights of the game at Wembley I've always wondered if Ron or Eddie would have cleared the ball from Charlton's header if the pitch had been in a better shape. Could be my eyes deceiving me but the ball doesn't seem to bounce properly. Great goal from Hutchinson. One of the highlights for me is Jack Charlton's reaction after Sprake's error when letting Houseman's shot go under his body. Charlton probably wanted to kill Sprake.

There wasn't many of us, just a few 15/16 year old Herbert's like me!

What makes it even worse is presumably it's the parade after the 67 cup final !

Aaaargh !    and Aaaaargh !    Ffs, that pic popped up as a Chelsea parade and I must have seen Venebles and subliminally made a Chelsea connection !

Delete it Mods, please

Hopefully this is Stamford Bridge and not WHL.

That advert   " queen of the horse dopers"...what on earth ?

I would suggest that those of us of  'that certain Chelsea vintage' would agree

That report and picture, of us beating, I mean hammering, Leeds 5-0, would make great T-Shirt.

If it already has been, then cheers to all concerned

My grandad used to watch dog racing at the Bridge ( and many other tracks being a gambling addict)

Re doping gangs, he was involved with the Clerkenwell Italians. Normally they’d know someone on the inside like a kennel maid, who’d let them in to spike the dogs food. He told me occasionally 2 different gangs would nobble the same dog, which sometimes led to the thing crawling out of the traps creating uproar
