The tackle at 1.36 is unreal. I watched with the sound down but did the player get sent off. Number 3. Was it a very young Ron Harris? Straight red these days.

Taken in 1947.

I love that website, if you log in you can zoom in and pick up all sorts of detail. There's loads of pictures of Stamford Bridge and many other grounds. My favourite pics are of the old White City and Crystal Palace. The real one not those imposters in claret and blue.

The one on the left looks like White City as you can see the actual "City" in the background but what's the one on the right?

Agree, it's a great website. I love looking at old photos and maps to see how areas have changed over the years. The house I live in was built in the early 1900s and the area started to grow with the introduction of the railway in the 1860s.
