@charierreThanks for posting the article about the game against Dynamo Moscow. A guy I knew - he passed away last year - was at the game. At the time he lived in the North End Road so only a quick walk to the ground. He bunked off school to be it. Loads of service personnel at the match.

Not sure who we are playing or when.

Thats Leeds in 1989, i know that for a fact because i know the Leeds fella who the photo belongs too.

Credit to Leeds although rivals they normally brought a boisterous and fair size crowd.

Can't recall if this photo has already been posted.

No disrespect but when you think the likes of Wigan established themselves for a few years in the PL with their small away following yet likes of Leeds stuck in the Championship.

I hate Leeds but would love to re-ignite the old rivalry again.

If you look at the game on you tube half the players haven't got badges on their shirts!

Yes its all very romantic when these smaller clubs get promoted, and funny when a big club gets relegated, but after a bit you start to miss the bigger clubs not being there, such as dirty Leeds, sheff weds, and villa

The Blues are back in Europe this season and ahead of tomorrow's Champions League draw our latest photo feature recalls our first continental triumph...

CHELSEA V REAL MADRID, WEDNESDAY 19 MAY 1971, EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS' CUP FINAL, ATHENS

CHELSEA V REAL MADRID, FRIDAY 21 MAY 1971, EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS' CUP FINAL, ATHENS
 

Chelsea skipper Ron Harris and his counterpart Francisco Gento of Real Madrid lead the teams out at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Athens. 
 

The simple, elegant trophy the two teams were competing for glistens pitchside atop a Greek flag.
 

Having exchanged pennants, Harris and Gento contest the coin toss under the supervision of Swiss referee Rudolf Scheurer. 
 

Peter Osgood (left) celebrates scoring the opening goal 10 minutes into the second half. Keith Weller is the man joining in. 

Unfortunately for Dave Sexton's Chelsea, the Spanish side equalised in the last minute to take the final to a replay. 
 

The teams reconvened at the same stadium 48 hours later, and here David Webb (number six) and Osgood (nine) are pictured in the buid-up to John Dempsey's opening goal, a fine volley. The defender is between the two Real Madrid players in the background. 
 

Osgood doubled our advantage before the break and though a Real Madrid goal 15 minutes from time set up a nervy finish, the trophy was ours. Here captain Harris is chairlifted by a gaggle of ecstatic team-mates. 
 

Wearing slightly more clothes but with no fewer grins on their faces, the players gather round the trophy at a press conference celebrating the triumph.  
 

Many Chelsea supporters who had travelled to the Greek capital had to return home after the first game. But when the squad returned to London to parade the trophy through the streets of Fulham and Chelsea, every Blues fan got a sight of their heroes. The parade finished at Fulham Town Hall where a reception was then held to toast the momentous victory.

Brings back great memories. Lack of funds caused me to come back early.

And yet Bates gets slagged off!

Ruud v man city 95/96

Chelsea v spurs 96/97

Sad time for the club.
