From the FA Cup match at Shrewsbury in January 1986. It was a very cold day.

Great footage. Cheers 

Very probably posted before. Think it’s the first home game of 1955/56.

I’m cold just looking at that picture.

Short sleeved shirt, no gloves, orange ball snow lying on the pitch.

Just like this picture posted a few years ago by Carshalton Blue.

I was in there for my first ever visit to the Bridge, about a year and a half before I started going regularly, sad to say though I've no memories of the stadium or match at all, I did get a Peter Bonetti, Peter Osgood, and George best rosette though, still got the two Chelsea ones now.

Peter Sillett penalty 55.

Remember that on match of the day,  I'd been to Carlisle at home a couple of weeks before and it was 0-0 then missed Oldham game typical, may of been other way round with Oldham game before Carlisle, but know I was at a sh*t 0-0 v Carlisle

May have been posted before.

 

 

Really hits home just how skint we were. I forget till it was mentioned in Eddie McCreadie's book staff going round the pitch with massive blankets for fans to throw money on. Worth noting that the players took a pay cut as well.

Kerry is 59 today.

Happy Birthday indeed to King Kerry Dixon.

Jimmy Greaves scoring v Wolves. 30th Aug 1958.

A crowd of 62,118 saw the action.

Jimmy Greaves scored in the 5th,38th,55th, 62nd and 75th mins.

Wolves we’re defending Champions and would win the title again in 1958/59.

A year after scoring as a 17-year-old on his First Division debut for Chelsea against Tottenham, Greaves delivered a virtuoso display against then champions Wolves. 

The then England captain Billy Wright was in the Wolves side that day at Stamford Bridge, but Greaves proved to be in unstoppable form, scoring five times as Chelsea cruised to a 6-2 victory.
