Back when we could score goals.

 

Nice memories and unlikely to ever happen again due to FFP.

Usual apologies if this has already been posted.

From the War Cup Final Southern in 1944. Ike being introduced to the players. Not sure who the British Officer was.

We've seen it all before terrible season followed by an even worse one.

 

Not necessarily vintage but one of our greatest ever strikers alongside one of our current greats. @Valerie One for you.

We were in Ibiza summer 84- met some Aberdeen fans who were upset that Doug was leaving. One went on to say he was very skilful for his size 😂

I actually described him as skillful and a good passer of the ball after his debut at Arsenal.

Did he take the free kick that Dixon scored from ?

The other memorable moment was when he flattened Viv Anderson (?) right in front of us in the seats !

‘Silhouetted by a wonderful mill chimney, Peter Bonetti makes a crucial save during the 1-0 win against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on 16th Oct 1965.’ That’s the photo caption.       Bygone Chelsea on Twitter.

Such a friendly, nice man. When he joined a small group of 3 (me being one of them) for a quick drink he stayed an hour, drawing tactics on a piece of paper

Should have been involved in the 1970 World Cup.

Jackie Charlton went on record as saying Alf should have picked him, because “ He was top of the tree” at that time

He was. He played out in Mexico in the group stages. Obviously Ramsey thought Jeff Astle was better, though😮

Where were you when we weren't sh*t?
