Great photo of Chopper with the Cup - but the boots he is wearing obviously are not the ones he wore in the Cup Final replay. The boots he is wearing have complete sets of studs, whereas we all know three of the studs ended up embedded in the back of Eddie Gray’s knee ….

I never tire of those iconic pictures of Osgood's header 👍

Enjoy!😀

Eighteen-year-old Jimmy Greaves, left, scoring one of his five goals for Chelsea against Wolves (who were the reigning champions)! We won 6-2 in front of 62,118 spectators.

Jimmy Greaves goals came in the 5th, 38th, 48th, 62nd and 75th minutes respectively.

This took his goal tally up to eight goals in just the opening three League games!

He’d scored two against Man Utd away the previous Saturday and one against Spuds at The Bridge .in midweek.

Our other goal that day, was scored by Ernie Block in the 44th min.

Wolves Captain, Billy Wright and another Wolves player chase the ball in vain as Jimmy Greaves (No.8) scores another of his goals on 30th August 1958.

Happy days at Upton Park in days gone by. Anyone around for the smack up in the corner where the South Bank met the Chicken Run - can’t remember which year that was?

84/85 1-1 draw. There was a documentary on trouble and this game was shown on it.

Today is the 120th anniversary of our first league game. Away at Stockport County. We lost 1-0.

The new stadium is good but there is something about the old place.

A great goal, and what about Hazard's nutmeg thru the defenders legs to start the move !! Brilliant
