Who would of thought that picture in the summer of 83 would lead us 50 plus old gits to   still talk  about THAT team nearly 37 years later.

Indeed. Would be great to go back in time and say to our younger selves and the players that that team would still be talked about. And if we were to mention that in 2012 we would win the Champions League or European Cup as it was known in those days would be carted off to the funny farm?

There's only one Rodney Trotter.

Met David Lee at Old Trafford when we played Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup semi-final. Was still the spitting image of Rodney.

From the FA Cup game at Shrewsbury in January 1986. A bloody cold day.

And that iconic season and those iconic Le Coq Sportif strips

Ach everything about them, is iconic to this old Chelsea git...

I remember saying to a fellow Chelsea fan at the end of that season that I doubt I'd ever enjoy a season as much as that one. We all knew at the time it was something special, but I can't say we ever dreamt those new signings would all make such an impact.

I think that's Liverpool in a match at The Bridge sponsored by Boycey Automobiles

Looks like vehicles from his garage anyway

Two signings in the summer of 1983 who went on to make a great impact that following season.

Wee Pat and Big Doug. Two Scots of different footballing skill sets.

But they were our Scots.

Looks like we're playing Man Utd at The Bridge.

We've just scored v Newcastle at The Bridge in Nov 83.  Kevin Keegan isn't as pleased as we are

We won 4-0.

No club emblems wonder if it was a testimonial match or charity match?
