Chelsea programme vGreenock Morton (Charlie Cookes home town team) in Fairs Cup 1968/69

I went to that game. On the previous post (Arsenal match report), Man City fans please note your home attendance, 24,667, even Southampton and Stoke had more at their games. Always been a big club? My arse.

pretty sure that garry jones that comes on here set that website up.

Cheers. I'm quite knew to this site myself so I'd still 'finding my way'.

I just love the history and the old pics/footage of this great football club.

Thats why I post them

Enjoyed reading those match reports - shame that all the excitement about playing Palarse in the next round was to end in defeat - though we did give them a thorough kicking in the North Stand.

I also saw that my local side, Tooting & Mitcham, had reached the 4th round - great memories. I would have gone to their game at Bradford City had I not been on duty at York City :wink:

I was also at the game in York. If I remember rightly it was freezing cold with snow flurries and there was a worry that the game would be called off. I don't remember much about the game itself but do remember drinking in a pub owned by an ex Chelsea player, for the life of me I can't remember his name, perhaps someone can enlighten me.

Do you remember the kung fu kicker at the Palace game? If I'm correct it was a guy called Arthur Peploe from Basingstoke who was into martial arts and a bit loopy. The kick failed, he missed his target and got tangled up in a crash barrier! Sad to say Arthur passed away about five years ago, he was the same age as me.

    I can't remember much about the York game, was probably drinking all day (again).

    I certainly remember the kung-fu kicker at the Palace game, that was a mad day. I always thought he was a bouncer who worked at Tiffany's in Wimbledon, who knows? Do you remember before the game the DJ put a record by Slik on, "Forever And Ever"? For some reason I've never understood, all us Chelsea lads in the North Stand joined in singing it before steaming into the Palace yet again. Also, Malcolm Allison came over to us before the game in his fedora, waving to everyone in the North Stand end in the delusional belief that it was full of Palace fans. He got a hell of a shock when we all gave him dogs abuse, and battered his beloved Palace fans right in front of him. That was one of the best days rucking I ever enjoyed at the Bridge!

    Now that another fellow Chelsea fan has outed himself as to liking sh*tty pop records here's a confession about the day of the same game. All despondent after the match we went back to my mates house where his Dad told us he had a couple of tickets to see Sailor at some theatre opposite Victoria Station that evening. Not wanting to disappoint him we glumly went only to be two in an audience of about ten people, one of them dressed in as a white suited US Navy man as per one of the group members who belted along to their hit "Glass of Champagne." What a sh*ttty evening to a sh*tty day.

    How could ANYBODY get pissed off with SON OF MY FATHER and GLASS OF CHAMPAIGN...I still tap my feet to these tunes

    I don't mind them so much now, but at the time those kinds of bands were considered utter sh*te. I was into Free, Bad Company, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Groundhogs, Stray, and various other rock bands at the time. Listening to Chicory Tip and Sailor was reserved for the under 12's. :wink:

    Reminds me of a night I took a bird to the Purley Orchid, the place was supposed to be pretty good. Things went well until the music started - Chicory Tip, ffs.

    That was the place with the huge dance floor that change it's name to Tiffanys wasn't it?
