June 11, 20179 yr Mmm 5 hours ago, Boyne said: We are playing Blackpool. John Phillips' debut. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/03/john-phillips-1951-2017.html Cheers for that.I actually thought it was Peter Bonetti in the picture! DOH !
June 12, 20179 yr 2 hours ago, Boyne said: A fine player: Yes he was a fine player. I remember he came on at half time when we were 3 - 0 down away to Sheff Wed in the League Cup. He completely changed the game. 4 - 4 it finished after ET. We couldn't believe the turn around, especially after some of my mates wanted to go home at HT. Almost won the game apart from big Doug gave away a penalty when we were leading 4-3.
June 12, 20179 yr Thought big Doug Rougvie was a decent player for us. Joined from the very good Aberdeen side of the early 1980s. The mention above, reminded me of him.

June 12, 20179 yr Okay,so I am still just getting over him giving away that penalty v Sheffield Wednesday in that League Cup Quarter Final... 3-0 down to 4-3 up. Then big Doug...

Then big Doug... I'm sorry, but for me I tensed up every time the ball came near big Doug. He had at least one mistake in him every game. Much preferred Pates and McLaughlin in the centre, not forgetting cult heroes of that time, Joey Jones and Mickey Thomas. In fact looking back that was an exciting team 84/85 as well as 83/84
June 12, 20179 yr On 31/05/2017 at 08:45, Boyne said: We did. We beat 2-0 in the last game of the season. If Bolton had drawn against us Everton would have beaten relegated instead: Everton drew at home to Wimbledon. A strange game at the Bridge. Chelsea fans hoping that Bolton would score an equaliser when we were winning 1-0. Jody Morris scored a second goal near the end - it is the only time I can recall a Chelsea goal being booed. Yep that's true. Good day. Shirts of for the Chelsea
June 12, 20179 yr Anyone else remember this player.....Docherty......Blanchflower (waste of space) bought him from Scotland in 1979, he only lasted less than a handful of games and he was given a Free transfer, after we had paid about £40,000 for him.
June 12, 20179 yr Yes, but never saw play. I remember hoping we'd unearthed a bargain prolific striker, but he never did anything.

He was prolific in Scotland at something, not sure what. Saw him play his debut against Liverpool, one game was enough to see he just was not going to make it. I think he only played 2 or 3 more games.
June 14, 20179 yr Apologies if this You Tube video has been posted before. In our famous Red White and Green kit

In our famous Red White and Green kit "I looked at all the players afterwards and couldn't find a bruise anywhere!" That did make me laugh. I had visions of him examining all the players while they were in the showers.
June 15, 20179 yr Fair enough re big Doug Rougvie comments. Suppose being Scottish,I have always given Scottish players at our club the benefit of the doubt.

Shudder when I think how close we actually were to the old Division 3!
June 15, 20179 yr James Docherty had a brief career at Chelsea. Signed from East Stirling for £45,000 . A decent enough fee back then for a player from the lower Scottish Leagues. Made a substitute appearance v Liverpool on 3 March 1979. Petar Borota Chelsea debut. Two starts followed in March v West Bromwich Albion,full debut and v QPR when he was subbed. That was it, Chelsea wise. He moved on a free to Dundee Utd in Nov 79. Looks like the same time as Eamonn Bannon moved there..Bannons fee was £170,000.

I bet none of them still been to a game!!!

June 15, 20179 yr I'm sure back then I would have argued that Canners was better than Barnes. Okay,so I can be 'slightly biased' when it comes to things Chelsea!
