Here you go mate.

I reckon he was looking for the karate kick, which is missing from those highlights. I remember Jimmy Hill analysing it in detail on MotD that night, but I think the BBC must have been embarrassed and expunged that section. I've not seen it since!

More great pictures ,thanks for posting you lot .i must admit I love the arsenal v CFC colour pictures ,I have to say that Arsenal kit is the classic arsenal kit ,very smart to be fair to them .Maybe it was the kit that I recall growing up but it is smart mind you that CFC kit in the pictures is the total bolloxs

Reckon your right about the BBC deleting it as I was taking more notice of the crowd that day than the actual game ill have to be content with the little memory that I have ,it was 43 years ago,where did all those years go?

 Sparky Hughes in action against Man Utd.

To be fair, the other player in the picture went on to have 'a half decent career' !

 Sat 8th Oct 1983. Yeah couldn't resist, that season...   We won 5-3 at Fulham.

Scorers that day were: ;King' Kerry Dixon 9th and 86th.  The Welsh goal scoring machine that was  Joey Jones 45th,  Pat Nevin 49th  and Colin Lee 59th mins respectively.,

Gordon Davies got a hat trick for them to be fair and a crowd of  24,787 , who got their money's worth that day, saw it.

 1994/95 Team Group.

 Okay so I couldn't resist.

A certain season's team group.

Little did they know then, how much they and the season to come, would mean to us of 'a certain Chelsea vintage'...

Highlights shown on Midweek Sport Special in October 1986 of Chelsea winning 3-0 at home to York in the Littlewoods Cup second round, second leg.
