Correct it was against QPR. Another great signing by John Neal. What a team he assembled on a limited budget.

The other game he went off I think was Oxford at home did the same cruciate ligament. Was a top keeper and would have played for at least another 8+ years

Anfield 85/86 1-1 The day our friends from Glasgow came down on masse!!

Went to the game. Game kicked-off at noon. Not sure why as I don't think the game was on TV. About 1,000 Rangers fans at the game. There were no top=flight games in Scotland that weekend as the national team was playing in a World Cup qualifier. Remember walking into the ground and recognising the Ranges scarves and songs.

At half-time a Liverpool fan wearing a half-and-half hat (Liverpool and Celtic) walked in front of the Chelsea and Rangers fans and got a load of abuse.

Said on hear before, we laughed before game as old bill put a line between fans at first!! Then realised Rangers were supporting Chelsea. Tough for some getting in on that corner terrace as Rangers were all in first!

Great day, went up over night on a coach from Fulham Rd. left at closing time with the back seat reserved as the bar!! Remember buying a football and playing on a concrete pitch with metal goals in the ground, was probably used as match day parking. 20 odd a side tired and drunk but when you’re 18 it’s all fun! The game was early as it was the day of the grand national.

Cheers for the information above. Appreciated.

I didn't go but a couple of mates did remember them saying it what a great day it was. Remember going to City in 89 couple of Rangers coaches saw them get off every single one of them staggered of the coach but like the old Weebles advert not one of them fell down

As regards the year no corrugated iron that I can see so before 79 no advertising so must be pre season. I can't see the fence the y*ds tried to pull down in 78.

Looks like it mate. That blonde b*****d Whittle always seemed to score against us.

The picture of The Cat is against Liverpool at Villa Park in the 1965 FA Cup Semi Final.

Nice to see a pair of Gola boots,well one anyway. In this picture.

My first real pair of football boots were Gola. Back in 1978. Cost my old dear £4.95. Sad I remember that fact!

And mine and in the same year think they cost £6.60. I had a pair of Gola trainers black and green and a pair of boots black and orange. One of them were called Aztec but I can't remember which ones. Gola Harrier and Bullet trainers are still popular especially with mods.

Must have been the trainers as I remember having Aztec trainers. My mum worked in a sports shop and round about age 9-11 had Gola, Adidas (kick) and Puma trainers.

I think mine were own brand from Freeman Hardy and Willis n North End Road.

Does anyone remember Winfield football boots?. They were Woolworths answer to Adidas you got some serious piss taking if you had a pair of them.

Remember the balls they were the equivalent of supermarket trolley wheels!! Aim at goal and miss by a mile!

Always remember those light plastic balls, that were black and white and had a teams name in each white square, I always use to underline Chelsea's name on the ball, I think they use to do balls with players name on as well, names like Trevor cherry and Trevor Francis, but my main one was Ray Wilkins followed by Trevor Brooking (lots of Trevor's!!!), I must of been about 7, mid to late 70's 

Saw this on Facebook. A ST in the West Stand is a lot more now!
