Can't believe they got an unknown Phil Priest to model our first ever sponsored shirt

we never really did have a proper shirt sponsor in those early 80`s days....somewhat lagging behind other clubs who did.

Not quite the last home game mate, the last home game was v Arsenal we drew 1.1 then we had Man Utd away in our last game drawing 1.1

How can I forget the night of The Cats last game and Arsenal standing in the Shed and getting run every where!!

My mistake we weren't that good!! I did see the three home wins that season!! The amazing thing is how many times we took the lead that season home and away and either drew or lost. Lost 9 drew 4 from Winning starts.

Posted in the 'General Chelsea Forum' Initially last year. But I felt well worth posting on here.

Hope this is okay.

I remembered 1978/79 when we were going through last season...

Frank Soo, another player that time has largely forgotten. Half Chinese, born in Liverpool, the first non-white/Asian England international, served for the RAF during WW2, during which he played for several teams, including, Chelsea as a guest. Slightly enuous link perhaps, but a fascinating story nonetheless. Saw this the other day on BBC London:

Can't find any footage on YT unfortunately, but here's Bobby and co celebrating promotion the year before. Players seem to be wearing some sort of bath robe!
