Yes Gullitt looked like an ancient Greek God with his athletic physique with so much grace on the pitch.

The first player I remember joining us was Dennis Wise in 1990, such a busy player with some skill too.

 

I can remember us signing Eammon Bannon and Duncan Mckenzie, now a days we could sign Messi and Ronaldo, but nothing will compare to summer 1983, Spackman, Eddie Ned, McLaughlin, Hollins, Nevin and King Kerry, if Carlseberg created transfer windows!!

I remember when we were so skint we put in a bid for Andy Ritchie there was a page in the programme with photos of him being shown round the ground he turned us down and joined Brighton !. Eammon Bannon was brilliant for Dundee United and we got Duncan McKenzie when he was finished although he had his moments very skilful player.

Posted before but no harm in posting again.

77-78 I think I finished the Panini album in 79 and never bought a pack again more important things like records, fags, etc 😁

Anyone who remembers the song by The Monks Nice legs shame about the face (terrible song by the way) here we have nice top shame about the shorts. 😆

 

Quite a lot of photos of players with those shorts from the mid to late 60’s.  That tracksuit top though and the great old badge.

From the Chelsea Year Book 1969-1970.

A guy called Jimmy Mullholland scoring against Liverpool and the 1915 cup final.

 

Jan 1936. The players of Chelsea and Plymouth Argyle observe a two minutes silence after the death of King George V.

I know that this has been posted before. One of my favourite views of the stadium and the surrounding area.

Brighton away 83, got in touch with a couple of school mates in last couple of months, who I hadn’t spoken to for over 30 years, they were both Brighton and went to the game,  we started talking about the game, one said he had never been to so scared at a match, the other said sarcastically, I seem to remember it got a little out of hand that afternoon, they were in different parts of ground and said there were Chelsea everywhere all over ground and have never seen support like it

One of my favourite away games of that era top five no particular order. QPR 81, Charlton 79, Man City 89 and of course Grimsby. This is QPR 81 my QPR mates couldn't believe how many we had even though it was far less then 79 when the school end was open and we me included were in the Loft if there were any QPR in there they kept very quiet.

 

 

What a squad.
