Can't recall the ESSO book of Squelchers. Anyone remember them?

There was discussion on here a while back about some sort of tie in with Esso Blue and Chelsea in the early 70s.

Im sure my older brother was given a signed team photo via our cousin Jackie Wilkins ( nee Bygraves), with an Esso Blue logo in the corner.

Just discovered this. I was so young I thought it might have been one of those " false" childhood memories!

I was right, worn against teams in white socks!

Shame we don't do it now rather than use an away strip. 

18 years ago today we signed thunderfoot.

I'll put this as a thread of its own.

Some player.

Like I said, some player.

Superb compilation. Some absolute beauties, but my favourite is that volley at Old T, which was I think in Ranieri's first game, an amazing 3-3  draw.

That game was  on premier league classics yesterday on sky. A mate of mine who supports Fulham went to that game for a corporate trip, was sitting there surrounded by mancs and when Jimmy rifled that in he lept out of his seat cheering, not that he particularly wanted us to win but had Jimmy down as first goal scorer! He got a few looks from the Mancs around him

A wonderful player. That hat-trick against Spurs was superb.

You just can't bring that hat trick up without this trip down memory lane.

 

 

Scott: Cheers for posting that hat-trick by 'Jimmy' above v Spuds.

Brilliant hat-trick and against Spuds.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink - all 87 goals for Chelsea FC  

Ah savour the goals for us.

I used to see Jimmy and his brother around Wimbledon Village when he was playing for us. He was wearing shorts once and I was struck by how big his thighs were. Reckon he had squirrels living in them!

Some goal by the late, great Ray Wilkins.

CHELSEA 4 HULL 0 76 - 77 PT1
