The League Magazine on Twitter.   West Ham United v Chelsea. Peter Bonetti gathers a cross under pressure from Jimmy Greaves John Hollins, Ron Harris and Clyde Best also in the pic

 

 

I remember this game as I managed to drag my brother along who is definitely not a Chelsea fan. Dorigo's dive 🤣

 

Hell of a goalscoring record regardless of the era 108 goals in 164 games.  Picture from the Chelsea graves society who trace old players graves. This one was unmarked and it was crowdfunded to get a headstone nice touch. He played for West Ham as well.

This ones better. 

I read in a Millwall fanzine that our West stand looked like something out of an Eastern bloc stadium. Had a point I reckon

Happy Carefree days. Bluehaze has it been posted before ? Only joking mate we all will and have died for Chelsea.

Does Carshalton Blue still come on here?. Enjoyed his posts only 200 off 1000 on a thread he started....... Though a few pictures have been on here once or twice !

No problem it's just there's only maybe a dozen regulars maybe less on here so I just think a lot of photos are reposted ad nauseum and I'd rather see stuff not posted before.

No he started this thread and I think he said a while ago he was tied up with work.

Not sure if mentioned previous one of the old guard recently died. He has a just giving page so he is and always will be part of the Chelsea family. Will only give his first name as Bill. 

Sorry not certain what he died off though he was one of us.

Best Holte turnout I remember from our lot was in 79, turned out to be our last top flight game for over 5 years and what looked to be no more than 40-50 Chelsea scattered the whole end.

This was the first chelsea game that i ever went to as me oldman took us to villa park on a surprise trip.

drove down in his rover 2500 and parked up somewhere . Walked ti the ground and me ols man got tickets in the stand that run along the side of the pitch at VP that had 3 small type of round Windows in the top right hand corner of the stand > thats where we was sat and looking down onto the villa Home end .cant recall where the chelsea fans was standing in that game  but i do recall watching first hand from me Seat as chelsea fans caused havoc amongst the Holte end ,Even at my are then 12 it stuck out like a saw thumb on how there was not that many cfc fans causing the villa stampeed .

think we lost that game 2-0 with own goal ? or is my memory mixed up .

 

next game i went to was Burnley away the season after in div 2 ,old man took us in the rover 2500 and this time cfc won 0-1 Ian Britton ( R.I.P.) ,but just like the villa game some chelsea fans had got into the Home end on other side of ground and you could see Burnley fans climbing over Walls to Get out of their Home end and out of the ground .
