20th Dec 1972 League Cup Semi Final Second Leg. v Norwich City away

Match was abandoned after 85 minutes due to fog. 

 

I had the grey sweatshirt I've usually got a good memory for these things but I can't remember if I bought it there or in Soccer Scene in Carnaby Street was nearly 40 years ago mind you !

Blackburn play off 88 looks like most people watched from the big hill outside. I didn't go to this but did the second leg.

 

The old Den had a waste ground hill built on top of what used to be New X Dog Track which allowed a free view of the game “ Jews Hill” it was known as until they stuck up a big advertising hoarding.

Went to Withdean Stadium to watch Brighton v Leeds. Couldn’t believe how many people were watching the game perched on the top of trees- it was woodland behind one of the sides.

Strong breeze and they’d have another Hillsboro on their hands

Remember the shop near Broadway, was long inside with everything behind the counter. I was told when I was a kid that it had nothing to do with the club and was an independent shop. 

 John Phillips, at The Bridge. Sept 74 v Wolves.

Wonder if that's the Wolves team bus in the background ?

That stretch of road at the back is Bishopsford Road, and pretty much where three towns, Carshalton, Mitcham and Morden met, I had a girlfriend who lived in the house behind Dario Gradi's head and first asked my mrs out while walking along that stretch sometime early in 1980. To the right were two shops,  a furniture store and an off licence a well as the 118 bus stop going towards Mitcham and Streatham, and opposite that for the bus to Morden tube that I used to catch every morning when I first started work, just a bit further to the right was the Blue Star garage, the only place around to buy ciggies on a Sunday evening back then. It's almost 40 years since I moved away, but that neck of the woods will always be home to me.

Saturday, 26th Apr 1947.  Wolves away and a 6-4 game !

Unfortunately we didn't win 6-4. !!

Watched by 44,260 spectators, who would have got their money's worth,

Well, if they'd been Wolves supporters or a neutrals.

Our scorers: Dickie Spence 29th, Len Goulden 51st, Alex Machin 54th, and the great Tommy Lawton 59th mins respectively.

Seb Coe training at The Bridge. It's in 1982 and our player is Phil Driver.

I've seen this picture recently, in one of Seb Coe's books.

Here's Seb showing that he supports London's finest after a race win.

 

No doubt been on here before but nice pics anyway
