Curious why the club went to expense of special shirts and shorts to match the yellow socks.  Was this kit only worn against teams like Leeds or Spurs who wore white socks?

Was this kit worn for the first time in the 1970 FA Cup replay ?.

Didn’t we wear the yellow in 72 against Stoke?

1972 League Cup, yes, I also think we did for the 1971 CWC against Real madrid

Steve Kember?

Kember is No 5. Could be Baldwin ?.

I notice Ossie is not slow again, when the women are around !.

Was talking about beer in the legends match day what was the beer they used to sell at the ground pre Coors?. I have a memory of a green and white can possibly Kestrel or Scandia Green being served in the West and East Stand. Whatever it was it was horrible !!

They definitely sold Orangeboom circa 83.

Remember this because they couldn't give the stuff away cause it was so rotten. Was queuing at the bar and a bloke remarked " shows how much they think of us fans, ...... Orangeboom!"

My local Off Licence recently started selling it, hadn't seen it for couple of decades, it's now in blue tins. 5% strength, £1 per 500ml tin.

I never drank it in does days you only drank cans at Christmas and as I remember they were pretty expensive. I remember the ad though 

 

Hoffmeister cans in the west stand late 80s early nineties. 1£ a can, the remarks re price were funny!

Don't remember Hoffmeister in the ground but to be honest I didn't drink much in the ground mainly because it was vile. 

Shoutout to Jokanovic for taking Fulham to the Premier League, second time after he did the same with Watford.

Fair play to the guy. A good professional and clearly a decent coach.

 

1976/77 Season: Chelsea 4 - 0 Hull City   Highlights. Enjoy.

Enjoy the goals from 1977/78. The late great Brian Moore commentating.

I used to love going for a mooch around and a chat at half time. ( West Stand, bar area)

Funny thing is I can't remember the layout of it- must have been just a big featureless space.
