@erskblueSome cracking photos of athletics events at the Bridge. I've always wondered what the ground looked like before our club was founded. Will take a good look at the Victorian London website. Looks like some interesting stuff on there.

Great photo of the legendary Eric Liddell.

A bit off subject but a picture of Walham Green station in 1907. Two years after the club was formed. Station's name was changed to Fulham Broadway in 1952.

Yeah no problem.

There is so much history surrounding Chelsea and The Bridge.

  Two ways to clear it ! The athlete in the right picture is Lord Burghley who was the 1924 Olympic 400m Hurdle Champion.

 Fulham's John Dempsey  beats teammate Ian Seymour (l) and Chelsea's Tommy Baldwin (r) to the ball to head clear .  Sat 26th Aug 1967.  A 1-1 draw, with Tommy Baldwin scoring our goal. In front of a crowd of 38,404.
