Best thread on the Shed End Forum by far! As a 25 year old I love hearing all of your amazing stories and seeing the great pics that you've taken and amassed over the years. I know a few blokes from local who used to go back in the 70's/80's but who for one reason or can't any more, always a pleasure to hear them recounting their tales. It's truly remarkable to see how football has changed as well.

 

I dunno what season veterans like your good selves think of the younger generations but fear not some of us care about our history! 

these are great photos, good and bad memories all rolled into one. 

Another one for the No History Idiocracy:

12 Oct 1935 : A section of the record crowd at Stamford Bridge of 82,905, for the match between Chelsea and Arsenal

All arsenal fans don`t you know

Last day of the Shed, v Sheff Utd 1994 

 

 

I've got to be in the second photo, that's where I stood in the second half ready for a pitch invasion at the end.

Joey Jones & his clenched fist salute to the travelling hordes of Chelsea..

 

At Barnsley1983

 

Cambridge 1984

Chelsea 1972-73, the squad that Dave Sexton destroyed.

The preceding pic is the greatest squad we ever had for many reasons

One of those never to be forgotten games Chelsea 4-2 Liverpool FA Cup 3rd Round 1978

Re the team photos and others I've seen, I assume they took team photos not just at the start of the season as is the case in recent years. Theyres no leaves on the trees in that shot, and not a lot of grass on the training pitch either

That game at Barnsley, we were in the seats above their firm.  How it didn't kick off downstairs at half time I'll never know as both us and them used the same toilets.  But it did as we walked up the hill going away from the ground afterwards. One of the all time best...................so I'm told.

And the following pic shows why it took so long for so many of us to forgive Sexton:

You're right of course. Put it down to a slip of the brain. The pic comes from the same source as the one of Ossie's last game on this 1970-1975 page I wrote a few years ago.

Ossie will always be the king of Stamford Bridge BF. Only Zola came near to taking his crown.

Remember that Barnsley game. They had an open air karzi I remember- even by standards of the day is was horrible. Reckon that was Nov 82. Went up there on my 17th Birthday, wearing me new diamond pringle Id picked up from a golf shop in South Croydon. Happy days indeed

Doesn't get more northern then that. Fields in the background and a stand sponsored by John Smiths

Coincidentally, just the other day I was talking about grounds I've been to in Yorkshire, reason being that my niece was living up there for a couple of years. Leeds of course, and both Sheffield teams, also Rotherham, Hull, and York. What I don't remember is going to  Barnsley. Being the early '80s I reckon I must have done, but I can't remember it to save my life.

 

If you knew me in the early '80, you'd know why. Nuff said.

Aye lad appen he could. Wonder if Parky and Dickie Bird were there a right couple of professional northerners those two.

March 6th 1965: Eddie McReadie and Terry Venables armed with snowballs, accompanied by Johnny Boyle and Chopper Harris during a training session at Stamford Bridge:

 

Looking at Venables, I reckon the cameraman's getting it.

Ahh Happy Days we were the business them days.
