That picture is 100% from Chelsea 2 Everton 1 85/86, it was at half time & conducted by Bates who was stood on a step ladder, the picture was for the clubs Xmas card, i still have one of them.

I think that was the game where Neville Southall was sent off and gave The Shed the V sign,

 

Apart from the brave 'Old Bill!', is there any fan on the pitch over 13 yrs old!.

Is that the Leeds first game of the season ?

More fantastic pictures of our great club, its players and our beloved Bridge.

Love that aerial shot, can see where my Dad is in Brompton cemetery, in the family plot....

Met some work colleagues at a game a couple of years back and mentioned I'd popped in to see the old man on the way to the match, not sure they realised he's buried next door to the bridge

Doug Rougvie putting John Fashanu on his arse, 1987, we lost 4.0 that day.

 

 

Strange old day for me that was involving my mum & dad having a tear up, johnnys, & the family dog being put down. not in that order!

dangerous doug the thug. haha happy days.

looking at those shorts I cant see why more women didn't go to football in those days ????

Indeed...also they seem fairly aroused by Doug's antics

You didn't mess with our Doug eh !

 

Oh aye, so John Fashanu was a 'hard man' was he ...

Love the Bristol City clip showing Chelsea fans celebrating.

I was there with my dad that day, and he always wanted to stand and chat with the home supporters so we were in the side enclosure. It was the last day of the season and they'd already been promoted and given it was our lowest ever league position at the time the support was outstanding, I saw a flag that day that I've never forgotten, big blue sheet with "Thou shalt rise again Chelsea" on it, probably the weirdest flag I've ever seen.

And they weren't wrong were they!

At 9 secs older man with glasses in crowd, in more old Chelsea clips than most!

Cheers CB. Great photos of a great day out at Grimsby. Never seen them before.

 

I think they are from the pen to the left of the one in which the overcrowding took place at the start of the match which was a corner section. I was in there.

 

It was Mickey Greenaway, sitting in the seats to the right, right next to the overcrowding who (IMO) saved us from things getting more serious. It was he who persuaded the Old Bill that we weren't trying to invade the pitch to cause trouble but were just trying to save ourselves. At that stage those who could we were singing "let us out, let us out, let us out" and the OB were truncheoning anyone who tried to climb up the fence to get out. MG explained what was happening and got the coppers to open one of the gates into the seating section. From there I went and watched the match in the other (empty) corner section to the left of the pitch.
