I have to assume he means it was too recent to be in the 'Thread for old fogies to look back on and sigh'.

You got it.

Viva fogies, we saw support that'll probably never be seen again.

Great picture, I've never seen. Talksport listeners note the small crowd like we always got pre- Abramovitch.

Agreed, if only Ambramovich had bought the club earlier. We'd have been much higher than 5th in the all time list

Chelsea v Leeds Nov 1969

These pictures are stills taken from an old newsreel, hence the poor quality, they show Chelsea supporters attacking Leeds supporters, after the latter tried to take the Shed on 30th November 1969.

Nice post mate and I may be wrong but the chap standing with MG looks a bit like Bob, the bloke who used to dress in a blue and white knitted suit selling golden goal, or something similar, tickets outside the Shed gates, got to know him pretty well on the old supporters club coaches before I had the money to go by train, top fella.

Not sure that is Bob, is that the Bob who's was known by his name in reverse on the old supporters club coaches.

Does he still go to matches?

That's the chap I was thinking of, not seen him at the ground for a while now though.

I know that fella Bob, he made a model of the east stand out of matchsticks once picture of him in the programme with it, i last saw him about a year or so back, he works at CFC in facilities, not sure thats him in the pic though.
