Great photos.  My Uncle was at Athens.

Peter Bonetti, Chelsea's greatest goalkeeper, came through the ranks to make a total of 729 appearances for the club (second only to Chopper) spread over 20 years interrupted by a single season in the States before being brought back by Eddie Mac to help gain promotion, pictured here on September 17th 1979 before his testimonial match against Man U:

Ron Harris had a testimonial around this time. Second one for both players (Bonetti). He and Bonetti played for the 1970 cup final team against the current team, the first team were so bad at the time they lost 1-0 to the 70s team!
