May i bring rockabillys into the fold with this mob > was there ever any rockabilly cfc chaps ever seen on the shed terrace ? 

 

Can only think of one, but can't for the life of me remember his name (Mark?). He was a regular on the punk scene and I'd bump into him at many a gig, last time was leaving a Madness gig at Wembley Arena a few years back. Pretty sure he came from my estate as well, Rosehill I think, huge Chelsea fan, one of those who did pre season tours etc, and if I remember correctly even purchased a Spurs ST so that he could go to the 4-1 game just after we came back up in 89. Last time I saw him he had a ST in the MHU.

Icky was a big King Kurt fan.

That just brought a Flash back when you mentioned icky > Germany v England 1-5 > i took a donnywhite with me and was in a bar with untold chelsea across Road from train station in Munich . Icky was sat at a table across the bar with his mob and siad donnywhite picked a guitar  off a wall that was hangjng up in the pub and stripped naked .

now donnywhite mate is hung like a pit pony and the whole pub was in uproar as he was playing the guitar stood right behind icky at his table  and singjng > great balls of fire < ( jerry lee Lewis ) .

about 1 hour later he said to all in the pub watch this > outside the trainstation loads of german Police vans had turned up and the Police was stood outside whatever van getting kitted up into riot gear . Leeds lad Walks across the Road to the german Police > and we can all see him from the pub speaking to german rozzers outside whatever coo van and he would Get type of moved on .

got to one van and he was talking to cops then donnywhite went into back of the van and pulled out some riot gear and started to put it on , the pub was in stitches ,he got the leggings on when  High looking ranking  female officer lost the plot with the other german Police and gave them a right telling off and nicked the donnywhite .

he was cuffed up and taken to holding cells under the train station > Female officer says to donnywhite that this  is serious and he is in big trouble etc etc and tells my mate to undress > you never have to Ask him to undress for obvious reasons > so he takes all his clothes off and folds them up and placed them on a chair > he only has his boxer shorts left on > where female officer tells him to take his boxer shorts off > he pulls them down and his pit pony is for all too see and witness 

female officer is lost for words and takes a good look and the says > Get him dressed and out of here < donnywhite was back in the pub within the hour . 

Ray Wilkins would have been 64 today.

I've long thought that that symbol should be incorporated into our badge, where the roses and footballs are now, plenty of room there and a lot more meaningful gesture than telling us that a bit or red in the home shirt is a tribute.

Think your right there were no Chelsea fans there for the 6-1 also when we won 4-1 there 89/90 season no fans, due redevelopment at sh*te Hart Lane again, mind you they got that great white elephant stadium now,I was there last December when we won 2-0 and admittedly had a few beers but I wasn’t overly impressed with new ground, prefer bridge

Watched both the 1-4 and 1-6 games at Spurs when no chelsea fans were apprantly at the games for various reasons ,but iam sure i hear roars in both games when CFC score everytime

This was a testimonial game for the Legendary Bilbao Manager.

Kevin wilson > that former chelsea players name allways gives me a flashback to what i think was a FA-cup 3rd round fixture at the baseball ground derby County v chelsea > my memory says derby won 3-1 but my nightmares allways recall that Mr.Wilson got a brace of goals for derby. Iam sure that derby had a newspaper type of match day programme back then ,which must have been another nightmare for anyone who was into collecting matchday programmes .

Think notts Forest might have gone down same Road as derby with newspaper style programmes ? Donny Rovers did at the start of an early or mid 1980s season and it turned me off getting a match programme for various reasons . Donny did these newspaper style matchday programmes for the first 3/4 Home games ,no (b)ugger was buying into them and DRFC went back to normall programmes by end of september .

west ham allways had a different size and shape of the normally match programme with a small square effort .

I remember Kevin Wilson and what was kind of amusing was there was a comedian about the time called Kevin Bloody Wilson and whenever our chap missed a chance I always thought about Kevin Bloody Wilson.

I recall once a break from the Shed End out of a defensive corner and Wilson was put free and was off like a whippet with only the grass in front of him yet on his second touch one leg kicked the other and over he went.............

TBF he was a useful sub and was often brought on I think instead of McAllister or sometimes one of the strikers. 

Here's one I could not make at the time due to picking up my girlfriend in her midweek evening class, though was listening to Jonathan Pearce as Chelsea were 2-0 down with ten minutes to go in the Rumbelows Cup at Fratton Park. Sounded incredible as we pulled it back and won and Wilson scored the winner, quite how, I'm not sure the defender seemed to stop.
