Jimmy Greaves turns away after scoring one of his five goals against Wolves on 30th August, 1958. His goals came in the 5th,38th,48th, 62nd and 75th mins respectively . Not bad for an 18 year old!

We won 6-1.Watched by 62,118 spectators.

We could use some of those goals these days.

I think those two pictures are from the FA Cup quarter-final against Wolves in 1994. I think I stood near the White Wall in the Shed.

Very much so. I wonder who will be the next player to score over 100 goals for the club.

Not sure if anyone will stay long enough to get 100.

J Pedro has 15 top in current squad, think he’ll be here in 5 years?

Palmer has 41?

With his dip in form recently and our trajectory I don’t see him sticking around to make it to 100.

Jimmy Greaves in full flight on his Chelsea debut aged just 17 against Spurs on 24th August 1957.

He scored our equaliser in the 85th minute. A 1-1 draw in front of 52,480 spectators.

He was signed as a junior in 1956 and the following year created a club record by scoring 114 goals in the youth team. It was inevitable that he would break through into the first team.

That he did on the opening day of the 1957/58 campaign, scoring in a 1-1 draw at Tottenham at the age of 17. Over the next four years he kept on scoring; 22 in that first season, 37 the next, then 30, and finally 43.

In all Jimmy scored 13 hat-tricks for the club, including five in a game on three occasions and four another three times. His hat-trick against Manchester City in November 1960 included his 100th league goal. He was 20 years and 290 days old. This remains a league record.

During this time though we did not win a trophy and the board decided to cash in on their prize asset.

They arranged a transfer to Milan against the player's wishes and Greaves last game for Chelsea was the final game of the 1960/61 season. He was made captain for the day and inevitably stole the show scoring all our goals in a 4-3 win.

This was part of Chelsea's floodlighting scheme which saw 230 floodlights erected to cover every corner of the pitch. The Greyhound Traps can clearly be seen in the background. 5th February 1957.

Happy Birthday to Tommy Langley, who is 68 years young today!

Do you know what year that was @Boyne ? I think I may have been at that game as a nipper with my Dad!
