That is top drawer. More than any other song, the “ Chelsea, Chelsea” bit at the end of OMWTM makes the hairs round be backside stand up.

Great trip, friendliest Old Bill anywhere.

And I remember the Shed giving Ossie unforgivable abuse at one point in the replay

He shook his head in disbelief, it was embarrassing for the majority of us.

Osgood was good, now he’s no good...

Ossie jumping of the ball v Man Utd at Old Trafford in 1970/71.

 

Chelsea 1-0 Man Utd in April 1973

Utd's Arnold Sidebottom and Jim Holton out-jump Tommy Baldwin and Peter Osgood at The Bridge.

We won 4-0 at Old Trafford.

Our scorers Baldwin 1st, Tambling 13th, Baldwin 38th, Birchenall 65th mins.

I wasn't sure where to post this was going to start a thread but sometimes when I upload stuff it's only good for a couple of days.

A pub I used to drink in the early- mid 90's had a display board of tickets where punters would put up stubs for football, gigs, etc. I used to hold on to mine just found them while going through a load of old stuff.

If only that was it ! A word that rhymes with "hunt" was used against one of the finest players of that time .....not nice.

The " oh Dennis Wise " game

When ever newspaper articles are uploaded on here and you see the results from yesteryear has anyone noticed that nearly every time we are at home and either Spurs or Arsenal are at home we have larger gates, also if other traditional big clubs, villa, Everton, Newcastle are at home once again our home gates exceed theirs, only utd and Liverpool seem to have higher, it must be printing errors!! We only got crowds of 6k pre 2003!!!!! London's First, London's Finest!!!

 Here's an example.        We played Barrow in the FA Cup 3rd Round on 10th Jan 1948 .  

Yet a crowd of 44,336 was at The Bridge to watch us win 5-0.

  

A 3-1 win over Coventry in 1998.                                    A 4-4 draw, (sounds some game) away at Derby in 1953.
