Working with a Geordie who recently bumped into our old mob in Magaluf- funny how Benidorm and Magaluf has jolly boys outings of old firms and where 20 years they’d knock the granny out of each of each other now they get along.

Cut a long story, an old face described Geordies as “ Jocks that have had the sh*t kicked out of ‘em” which made him chuckle

Along similar lines, the Salford Man U lot, met the Wandsworth/ Battersea firm in Spain a few years back. When we play at OT they stay in Manchester and get looked after, vice versa when it’s at Stamford Bridge. Kinda nice story I think

Tuesday, 17th Nov 1981,

We won 3-2.

Our scorers :Pates 2, Fillery (pen)

Cambridge University v Chelsea. Friendly in front of 154 spectators.

Yes 154 spectators, 152-153 more than QPR bring to The Bridge,,,

Our team that night could all honestly say that they had been to Cambridge University !

 

I played against Cambridge University for Corinthian Casuals. The year I was there it was the least Corinthian lineup they’d ever had- the whole team were either builders, scaffolders, doormen or in the second hand car trade. 

We won 4- nil and kicked lumps out of them. It was an annual fixture evidently, which ended up with a formal dinner in Kings College Hall.

Posh as you want and we looked right out of place. One of me me team mates got sent back to the coach early for going back for seconds and giving it the “ Please Sir, can I have some more” routine which had us all in stitches.

 

 

 

 

Los Angeles Aztecs v Chelsea, Friendly on June 6th, 1977. Programme.

Thought I was mistaken seeing this programme cover. I knew I saw Hutch’s Testimonial during the 78/79 season. Looked it up to see I was right, he had two in the space of three years. The one I went to was against QPR a 2-2 draw.
