Blimey, Grant Lunn was vertically challenged (but probably still better at claiming crosses than Jorgensen.)

From 1993 when we played A**X in the Makita pre-season tournament.

I liked that shirt and seeing that team reminds me that in 93/94 season Peacock scored the solo goal in home and away wins against Fergies Utd.

Do you remember when Dave Webb became manager to save the season in 1993?

I think he replaced Porterfield.

The other day one of my friends sent me this programme. She volunteers in a charity shop and it was in the stock. I'll post a few pages from the programme later.

Chelsea lost 1-0 but were still promoted to the old First Division.

6d (2.5p) for a programme. Now a programme costs £4.

A friendly game as part of the Eddie Mac transfer. A 5000 crowd saw a 2-2 draw. Bobby Tambling scored both our goals. The referee was the legendary Scottish ref Tim ‘Tiny’ Wharton .

I’ve seen this programme on sale from £7.50 and at £125.00!

January 1963.

Opening day of 1963-64 against West Ham on 24th August 1963. A 0-0 draw which saw an attendance of 46,298.

I may have it wrong but in the third photo, with Dave Sexton with his hand under his chin, does it look as though the bloke in the centre background, facing away from the camera, is having a slash up against the fence …? If so, he would have thought twice about slashing on Uncle Ken’s electric job!

@Gate 13 I think you are correct about the slasher but Sexton was pre Bates so the fence is not electrified yet.

Good spot.
