YOU ARE RIGHT BOBBY TAMBLING IS A TRUE LEGEND. ITS JUST THAT HE IS NOT MENTIONED ENOUGH WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT CHELSEA GREATS. TOO MY MIND HE IS ABOVE DIXON AND DROGBA AS THE TOP STRIKER. IF HE DID NOT HAVE INJURIES HE WOULD BE NEARER 250 GOALS RATHER THAN 202. (ALTHOUGH DIXON COULD SAY THE SAME)

AGAIN THANKS FOR THE GAME(S). DO YOU HAVE ANY HIGHLIGHTS FROM 69-70 SUNDERLAND WHEN OSSIE SCORED A HAT-TRICK AND 70-71 BRUGES AT HOME AHEN OSSIE RETURNED. ALSO 1975-76 WEST BROMICH ALBION HOME WE LOST 2-1 BUT I REMEMBER MEETING IAN BRITTON OFF THE TUBE THAT DAY AND THEN HE SCORED OUR GOAL WITH A HEADER. NICE BLOKE.

You'll find it on post 517.

Sunderland v Chelsea. We lost 2-0. The other teams in the semi were Norwich and Ipswich.

The bookies had us as evens favourites. However, after losing the first leg away 2-0 we went out to 9-2. I thought these were great odds as I was sure we could overcome a 2 goal deficit within the 90 minutes and then finish them off in extra-time if necessary. I was sure then that we would have been favourites in the final and I could have hedged it by backing the opponents so I did my biggest ever single bet. I put £200 on us to win the league cup. Gutted. Totally gutted. To this day. I am sure the home leg was sent, or at least the trouble. I remember also the home leg for the actions of one of the usual crowd I used to travel on the specials with in 80-83, quite a timid fella by the name of Lance. Never got into any trouble or had a bad word to say to anybody. Anyway, when Walker was attacked that night on the field I just could not believe it when I saw Lance was his assailant as he (Lance) was dragged off by about 7 old bill. Lance got four years for that. I don't think any of us ever saw him again.

Anyway, here is that link again.

And Chelsea v Sunderland News report

The reason the game was not broadcast, Ken Bates wanted £20,000 for two minute highlights. A video company taped it for Sunderland and then sold the violence to Thames TV. Ken Bates then took out a High Court injunction to stop this from being shown. (He lost, they showed it and Ken had to pay court costs),

I can still hear TBBM (the bloke behind me) "Great celebrations Sunderland" as their players legged it off the pitch at full time.

> If anyone could find a picture from the 2-0 win against Wexham in October of 1981 I would be forever indebted to you.

You mean the 2-0 at the Bridge?

I have some pictures! - But no video. Chelsea have their own copy of the video as I described a couple of pages ago.

I'll upload pictures tomororow if that's all you want.

Yes that's the one Garry did you ever post the pictures?

Sorry mate, in my notes I had "photos from wrexham", it was the away games I had.

The game you meant was

Date: Saturday, 10th October 1981

Competition: Football League Division 2 Position 5

Venue: Stamford Bridge

Attendance: 14,170

Referee: Mike J Taylor (Walmer)

Chelsea 1 Petar Borota, 2 Gary Locke, 3 Chris Hutchings, 4 Colin Viljoen, 5 Colin Pates, 6 Gary Chivers, 7 Peter Rhoades-Brown, 8 Ian Britton, 9 Colin Lee, 10 Alan Mayes, 11 Mike Fillery

Scorers Fillery 1st, Lee 2nd

Manager John Neal

Wrexham Niedzwiecki, J Jones, Bater, Dowman, Cegielski, Hunt, Fox (Ronson), McNeil, Carrodus, Vinter, Edwards

Manager Mel Sutton

Then we played them in the

4th Round FA Cup at home on 23rd February 0-0

4th Round replay FA Cup away on 26th January 1-1 (Alan Mayes saved us in the last minute)

4th Round second replay FA Cup away on 1 Feb W 2-1 (The prize being a home match against Liverpool in the 5th).

And away in the league on 27 Feb L 0-1

This mean 5 trips to Wrexham for me that season as we were banned. I went up to get tickets for both cup games posing as president of the Bristol Branch of the Wrexham supporters' club.

Prior to the league away on 27th Feb the ban was lifted. So I didn't have to go for tickets for that.
