Falco was on loan so I suppose it was just a way of saying we don't you but Colin Lee and a few years later Micky Hazard were permanent transfers so no point booing someone just because they played for Spurs. Micky Hazard was brilliant but Hollins never rated him unfortunately still baffles me how he could have left him and Pat Nevin on the bench against Man United we were terrible that day.

I don’t think Hazard was great getting up and down the pitch but he could open a tin of baked beans with his left foot.

Pains me to say but Spurs had a top midfield with him, Hoddle, Ardiles, Villa, Perryman etc

Remember going to White Hart Lane in August 87, and Micky Hazard playing for us got a huge rendition of there's "Only one Micky Hazard" that seemed to go on for ages, sadly we lost in last 5 minutes to a Nico Classes goal, rare mistake from Eddie I think. We had fantastic support that day, with loads locked out, never been in such a rammed terrace, dangerous, in hindsight not surprising Hillsborough happened less than two years later.

indeed, I posted about that game and Arsenal a couple of months later two worse crushes I've ever seen and totally avoidable especially Arsenal where they crammed us into the corner bit and yet there was a massive segregation gap just plain dangerous.

That's the caption.

There's a link on the site which allows you to look through the whole programme.

Hopefully it works.

And this is of interest.

Just looking at big Micky Droy going for a header there got me thinking, has he been back to the Bridge since he stopped playing?

Tremendous servant in mostly a crap side for many years, if he was introduced to the crowd he’d get a hell of a reception.

 

Great question about Micky Droy ,i cant remember him ever being paraded around the pitch.I always forget how he was in and around the whole 1970 team ,i kind of always think of him playing from 1975 ish onwards 

seem to recall he had a paint and decorating business or something

I thought he had or worked for electrical company, seem to remember it in the old onside magazine, with an interview.

My oldest son's first Chelsea hero was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

Not a bad choice, even if I say it myself.

Micky Droy v Brian Kilcline.

Now there was a 50-50 battle...

Or even a 20-80 battle and either way !

Every chance Chi it was an electrical shop , certainly a tradesmen supplier of some sorts ... wonder if Ronaldo also owns a plumbers merchants

I know he used to rent some space off Chelsea supporting Romany Gypsy mates of mine in Culvert Road Battersea.

Thought he was in the motor trade at the time but might be wrong.

Micky Droy had an electrical shop in Kensal Rise it's still there but he retired a couple of years ago not certain but I think he lives in the States now. Fell out with Bates big time and honestly don't know if he ever stepped foot in the Bridge again. The Eddie McCreadie book that came out a couple of years ago he's the only player of the era not interviewed  Roman has a box for ex players of the era and they have a rota where they get to use it think they all get to go about 10 times a season each not sure how many are allowed at a time.

Bought this on Ebay brand new for £12 what do you think Chi ?😁.

Tom Finney, by many more lauded than Stanley Matthews,one of the greatest players in the world at the time, used to top up his meagre wages with plumbing work. Garincha got the groovy moniker of “little bird”,  Eusebio’s the Black Pearl, and he’s the flaming poor old Preston Plumber.
