  Think this pic is taken v Coventry at The Bridge Nov 1984 ? 

If so, we won 6-2 !

Big Cyril Regis RIP, he was a player, looks like Pates and Sparkman got their work cut out in this shot.

He was indeed a player mate.

The West Brom team of the late 70s, with him and Laurie Cunningham up front, were some team.

Micky Fillery, after Ray Wilkins left and the club was in a state, he was our shining light, never probably reached the heights he could of.

I'll second that. Fillery was in the first Chelsea side I watched as a lad and he always looked a player to me. Was pretty gutted when he left, after Venables convinced him he could become an England international at QPR. Joined Steve Wicks and Gary Chivers there as I recall.

Seems odd to think of that lot being a step up from us at the time!

Old cup ticket of mine,  think this was game when mighty mouse Keegan scored and gave us the v sign

Was at the Wigan game. Freezing cold and hard pitch. Can’t remember which way round, but a shot which was touched on the line was disallowed for offside involving Pat Nevin and Micky Thomas. We won the replay 5-0!!
