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

Boyne. Hope you don’t mind that I’ve posted this in the Older Vintage Thread !

Brighton away on 3rd Sept 1983.

From 1987 when the club signed a sponsorship deal with Commodore. Looks like David Mellor on the right hand side. Mellor is not wearing a Chelsea shirt or did he only wear it for special occasions. Those of us who are of a certain age will remember the scandal he was involved in. He used to sit alongside Tony Banks. Very different political views but united in a love of Chelsea.

No, please do. It would be interesting to know how many people who watched the first game at the Bridge were around for our first league title and our first FA Cup win. I suspect there were a few, especially for the first league title.

Looked at team sheets at Arsenal around the time of that shirt and can’t put any name to him!

@Valerie One for you.

A bit different. Giorgio Armani with the club's Italian players before the 2000 FA Cup Final.

The 83,000 record attendance game in 1935 against Arsenal

Info

Liverpool's attendance record was recently broken. The previous record was set in 1949 when CHELSEA were the visitors

Liverpool will set a club record for the biggest home league crowd in their history when Burnley visit Anfield on Saturday.

The upper tier of the redeveloped Anfield Road stand will finally be fully open – boosting capacity to around 60,000.

The current record attendance for a league match at the stadium stands at 58,757 against Chelsea in December 1949

Sharp suits, but even Carlo can't carry off the deplorable shirt and tie.

Joey Jones and Chris Hutchings on December 31, 1983. Hutchings had played for us in the September match at The Goldstone Ground. We won this match 1-0. That season!😀
