Thanks so much for sharing this clip! I was at the game but have never seen any footage of it at all - Keith Weller's debut, shame about the result.

1964-65

Another picture of that Chelsea disco. Breda dancing and some young Chelsea fan doing "I don't know what" to "I don't know who" in the background.

Back to Sweden 1982, Strömsund, 1st August.

Note : John Neal (Born 3 April 1932) & Ian McNeill. (Born 24th February 1932) both have 80th birthdays coming up. Seen here with Cathy and Teena.

It would be nice to send these two gentlemen (who were instrumental in saving Chelsea) birthday cards. How would one go about getting in touch?

Great pics/footage of Chelsea back in the bygone days of yore.

Featuring Alan Hudson's goal of the season

The goal that never was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I never thought I'd see this again. Thanks for that

What about the 4-0 against Hull in 77. There is only a 5 minute version on youtube, there should be a longer version somewhere?

I'm certain its already on this thread Garry.

what great memories these games have brought back,Thanks to Carshalton blue for starting it and garry jones for alerting me to it,and of course to Eddie mac for all the great video's.My first ever match was v Newcastle 1970/71 aged 9 and stood on the old east stand terrace,which i have never seen again till now.Started to go on my own around 74/75,stood in the shed which is great to see in full flow on here.Didnt miss a home game from 1976 to the 80's,The Blackpool game made me laugh when the fans got on the pitch to chase a blackpool player and was just ushered back into the crowd by steve wicks,what would that be now,ten year ban and jail probably.Leeds away in 78 although we lost and the buses to the ground and then getting ambushed back at kings cross by west ham where my mate was stabbed,of course the 4-3 bolton game,Bristol away where our coach from Battersea never turned up so someone went and nicked a double decker red bus from Battersea bus station and 50 of us went up and back on that before dumping it back in Battersea,and millwall where i went with my dad as a 15 year old and was chased out the CBL end and ended up cheering millwall as they hunted down any chelsea fans in the other end.Well i could comment on most games,i knew Garry from our Chelsea days and Received tickets from him for the Bolton and Hull banned games,any chance of that game by the way.Thanks again for all the input on here,i look forward to more games amd more memories.

Hi Garry

You will find Hull 1976-77 a few pages back, I definitely put it earlier

The Hull game from 76/77 is about page 26 I think.

Guys

I am pleased the footage is steering great memories with you all.

For so long I have had the games, I never thought there would be many like me that could watch old footage, win or loose.

You may need to drop back a few pages for various games as I must have posted at least 50+ worth of clips

Following on from a section of Kingy's post, where did you sit/stand at your first game. Old East Stand for me.

Maybe the mods could open a new section with the vids, pics etc listed season by season, just a thought.

Great pic Garry, now there's a man who should have a stand named after him, or a statue maybe, given what he had to work with at the time I'd rate him as arguably our best ever manager.

> arguably

I am not arguing that one mate. DEFINITELY.

John Neal - A motivator of mediocrity.

Be nice to get his address. I also feel Ian McNeill did a darn sight more than we ever knew. I believe it was Ian that alerted John Neal to Kerry Dixon, David Speedie, Pat Nevin and Nigel Spackman. To think that these two made it through the stress of the 80's and are both now about to turn 80. Fantastic. Chelsea should invited them in as guests before the seasons over.

Great idea. They deserve proper recognition. I'm one of those who doesn't agree with Spackman having an entrance named after him, and am all in favour of John Neal having one. And Ian McNeill also did a fabulous job.

With the way things are going maybe we can call the old tea-shed on Mitchum Common "Neal and McNiell" tea-shed when we get relegated to the Isthmian league.

My post match cut off but see below

The second Leeds is a youtube classic and says 83 which has led to some people thinking its the 83-84 promotion game it isn't. Its the same as the longer Leeds posted with it, 9th October 82.

These were taken down the Kings' Road after that match. Man in the Moon pub.

Rutland, Hicky and Cathy

As for the Leicester game (Easter 80): I remember so much being made about us being cheated out of the game. It was not Larry May that impeded Borota as I wrote a few posts ago, I see now it is Linekar. But did he really commit an offence? Were we right 32 years ago? It seems more like Borota loses his bearings and runs into the future England hero. What's your call?

That team would comfortably beat our current squad. Look at the speed of movement from front to back.

I don't see a foul there. As you say, Borota was at fault and Lineker did nothing wrong.
