Man City v Chelsea, Oct 10th 1966  

4-1 us.

Man City, back in the first division after three seasons away, facing top of the table Chelsea in October 1966.

Look out for a scrap involving Mike Summerbee and Eddie McCreadie and a friendly salute for the Kippax from Peter Osgood.

This was the first edition of Match of the Day to come from Maine Road. Notice that the cameras are above the Kippax and facing the main stand.

Goals

Man City: Neil Young;

Chelsea: Bobby Tambling, Tommy Baldwin, Joe Kirkup, Peter Osgood.

 

Ah, the old sweeper system. Wouldn't work nowadays with the high press being the fashion. Brilliant goal by Osgood culminating in woofing it up'em. I'm sure I was at that game.

I though Tessa Wyatt was Tony Blackburn’s squeeze?

Yeah, he married her and was then all weepy eyed when they divorced.

i think he actually got the sack over it because he basically broke down on his dj job playing all sad songs and weeping between them  think it might of been capital radio 

Watching the carnage of yesterday's game, a smile was bought to my face as Martin Tyler mentioned the full members cup final of 1986, I couldn't resist giving a little chorus of "when pates went up to lift the members cup"

Yeah, when he mentioned that.

I gave my son (also a big Chelsea fan )who was watching with me, a quick history lesson on that game

FA Cup Final Replay 1970

Highlights.

Needing cheered up after Sundays result.

Beating Man Utd 2-1 at The Bridge on 21st March 1970.

Full highlights.

Our first European Trophy.

Beating Real Madrid - in ECWC Replay in 1971

9 mins of highlights.

Beating Leeds 4-0 at The Bridge, 12 th Aug 1972.

51,102 saw it

Great way to start 1972/73.

Osgood 45th, Cooke 59th, Garland 68th and 85th minutes were our scorers.

Surprisingly only three players were booked during this game 1

It was usually much more than that !!

Mind you, in todays game it would probably be eight or nine bookings with two or three sending offs...

I'm sure it would have been Radio 1.  I met Tony Blackburn once when he host a quiz show I was on for the radio, very cheesy but a nice bloke non the less.  

Always like older aerial shots of the Bridge.

The above picture looks early season,  due to the good condition of the pitch.

Also looks like before the game, due to lack of players on the pitch and there are spectators still arriving.

 Not v QPR due to more than 2 away supporters being in the away section !

Agreed mate, without Bounder Friardale I'd be lost for a great deal of the historical info I post on here

It sounds like a dodgy solicitors practice.

Did Arsenal take the Shed, or part of the Shed that day I wonder?

Bit of a force during the skinhead era I’m told.

.... knows why I gave that a tick. Not nice knowing your end got taken. Was hoping it might be under the North Stand but the camera angles wrong.
