Looks like they've nicked their shorts from the Harlem Globetrotters- not that Terry Venables often gets mistaken for Meadowlark Lemmon

Another shot from the "forgotten" Cup Final, Chelsea vs. Charlton, the wartime South Cup Final played at Wembley on April 17th 1944, this time showing General Dwight D. Eisenhower being introduced to the players before kickoff:

There's only one thing you can say about that photo. Coooor!

Shes a stunner. My mam and dad sat behind her at the bridge before. My dad got posh seats because it was my parents honeymoon lol

Not sure if already posted but a cracking picture of fans queueing for tickets in March 1952.

 

Liverpool get queues like that every fortnight- at the post office picking up their giros

It looks like a 70's Hammer film where a beautiful woman's siamese twin is a strange pointy chinned man.

Chelsea catering for you..

If your trying to turn me into a big sticky mess your doing a pretty good job. PS did Ossie get to bend over the lovely RW? Urban myth me thinks

Do you know the other thing i like about these old pics is remembering the adverts on the boards. I presume that's Watney's Red Barrel advertised there. I was to young myself Big Figure, Bluebeard, did you indulge? (sorry lads bit ageist ha ha).

Watney's Red Barrel was awful, my favourite tipple in the early 70's was Double Diamond. Not a strong beer by any means, probably just as well considering I was 14 when I acquired a taste for booze. Long Life was another good beer, and Courage Best, mmm...

I was raised on Fullers myself, but on the old specials, the products of Scottish & Newcastle breweries would be the tipple of choice, usually either McEwans or Tartan.

Some afternoons you can't be too choosy!

Maybe room for a thread regarding watching Chelsea whilst pi..ed out your brains. On more than one occasion I've watched the match with one eye shut, otherwise theyred be two of each player. Theyres a well known CFC fan who many times has had to be walked into the stadium with the aid of a bloke on each shoulder, due to his over enthusiasm for for a pre match tipple.

One of the lads who came with us to the QF at Bayern in 2005- started on the sauce at Stanstead at 5 in morning- cut a long story he went back to the hotel for an late afternoon kip- slept through his alarm- woke up at half time and watched the second in the hotel bar.
