Remember that bridge moving when walking over it a couple of years later, on our way from Manors (disused station)

Is that our last home game of the 1964 season CB? I recognise Bobby Tambling, Barry Bridges and Peter Bonetti and John Mortimore holding the banner.

Crowd surfing 1939 style. The man in flight, Chelsea wing half Sam Weaver who was known for his prodigiously long throw, several decades before the late great Ian Hutchinson.

Another great picture trip down memory lane.

Cheers

A team of Chelsea legends and quite rightly so.

Leeds were going for a treble of League,FA Cup and European Cup and ended up with nothing.

They were the defending League Champions in 1969/70.

Indeed. A great team. A bit off subject but in the pub before the game yesterday we were talking about the kick by Mane on the City goalie and comparing that to Eddie kicking Bremner in the Replay. Back in 1970 the ref had a quick look at Bremner and told the players to play on. How times have changed.

A few years back before a game at Wembley we were in a club near the stadium - about three hundred Chelsea fans in the club - and Tommy Baldwin was there. The fans sang Tommy's song. A big smile on his face.

That young kid has a Leeds scarf. Perhaps he changed allegiance after seeing Ossie's goal!

It does look like a Leeds scarf but he must have just run out of the Stretford End which was packed with Chelsea.

He looks like a bit of a skinhead so maybe he nicked it of a Leeds fan and kept it as a trophy. Or maybe his big brother did.

Fabulous photograph.

He was and is most definately a Chelsea fan, Billy matthews I think his name is. Didnt we also have a similar coloured scarf back in the day for the blue kit with yellow stripe and yellow socks?

That kid is one of our infamous terrace legends Billy Mathews.

Small club no fans no history! 

That was some result in the FA Cup against Liverpool in those pictures above.

 

Looks like we're playing Stoke but I can't be sure.

I seem to remember that the Liverpool supporters in my year at Secondary School were very quiet on the Monday after that game back in early 1982.

They had been so confident about beating us by a few goals the previous week!

Look how packed the Chelsea bit of the Northstand is compared to the Liverpool bit. I was at school myself great day loads locked out I seem to remember John Neal saying he smoked 10 fags during the game ha ha times have changed.

I will second that ersk, one of the few times we could give it back to those Herbert's back then, can still remember it now, me and some mates had arranged to meet at my house to go down park to play football, as we were getting on our bikes,  a huge shout came from our bathroom window where my old man was decorating the bathroom, 1-0 Rhodes brown, we all went off to park, Liverpool supporting mates as well, no way of keeping up with score as we had no radio, as we arrived back at our house at 5pm, me fearing we had lost and mates convinced we would, my old man came jigging out the side gate 2-0!  I turned to my mates who were already scuttling away on their bikes, i gave them an escort all the way home taking piss!! Didn't see em again until Monday morning!

Yes, pretty sure that's Terry Conroy having a shot.

This is the block of flats behind the Shed for the Liverpool game in 82.
