October 31, 20196 yr Bluehaze: This picture you posted, gives a great impression of just how vast The Bridge was back then.
October 31, 20196 yr We won 5 - 2 and in front of a crowd of 32,867. It's always nice to post a big victory over the Dippers.
October 31, 20196 yr We won 2-1. However it was Eddie's last game for us. Sadly. After a serious knee injury sustained in a match v QPR in 1986, Eddie took a full 8 months to return to full fitness. He was injured in this game v Oxford in 31st Oct 87 in the 84th min and John Coady won as sub took over in goal from him. Eddie was a very good keeper for us and it was gutting for him that he had to retire aged just 28. Eddie will always be fondly remembered by Chelsea fans of 'a certain vintage'.

I reckon these photos are part of the batch by David Nicholson. The fella looks suspiciously like one of the group photo taken at Eel Brook Common. Still bugs me that he never released all those hundreds of pics

Still bugs me that he never released all those hundreds of pics I enlarged one of the pics and it says photo by and it looks like a foreign name I can't quite make it out even with my reading bins on. Last picture young kid with a tank top on I had one very similar about 73 ha ha. One of my cousins sent my sister a photo of me and my family at a wedding recently from 75 my brother was wearing and talk about different times and there's no polite way of saying it a golliwog shirt.
