Not sure if posted before. Video was produced in 2017. Have watched about 20 minutes so far and will watch the rest later. From what I've watched so far, is a good insight to Kerry's career.

   Bygone Chelsea on Twitter.

 

John Hollins scoring v Bolton. FA Cup 4th Rd. Feb 1972. We won 3-0.

Boyne: Cheers for posting the Kerry Dixon ‘Legends’ video.

Interesting, I think someone was trying to smear Dixon in the press though his reaction got him in trouble.

Would gladly have forgotten Perry Groves yet interesting to see he was a friend when Dixon was serving time.

Glad to see the club found him a role and I guess that was down to RA.

Seems like a very candid interview.

 

Here's one i went to in the 90s we had not won in 7 matches and were away to Utd.

Their home support was amazing yet got right upset when the away end did 10 men went to mow and the whole end crouched down even the oldies too until we reached ten and the ground volume exploded and you could only hear buzzing.

Look at Bobby Campbell's expression he can't quite believe it as we grab the points.

My cousin looked a bit like Pallister and was just as tall and though took to wearing the full England kit on the park for Sunday kick-a-abouts and was blxxdy hopeless.

My old man smoked them or Players till finally these Irish ones called Sweet Afton me and my brothers all smoked but never nicked one of them made a young man feel very old after a couple of lugs. I played for a football team when i was 14 one of the team's dad was Scottish (had the obligatory nickname Jock) he gave me a fag after a game once had one puff thought I was going to cough my insides out it was a Weights even my old man wouldn't go near them.

 

 

No idea what Squelchers were it sounds like something from Viz when you've had 10 pints of Guinness and a madras.

My parents had some Schreiber furniture. I think I had some when I moved into my first property. As you say it was piss poor. I've never smoked but my Dad did and when I was a kid my Dad would send me up to the local newsagent to buy cigarettes for him. Can't do that nowadays.

Record receipts of £11,400 for a 70,000 + attendance !

Don't think that this picture has been posted before.

Hi Boyne. Do you know why I can't open the images? . Instead of your picture it says " maybe image of outdoors" and when I click it says URL expired ? Does it on other pictures a lot too

I'm using a cheap android phone it might be that ?

Any of the more experienced generation like to discuss this?

Never sat in it but stood underneath it many times. Think there was a bar up the back there. And it was very big , this picture is after half of it was knocked down. dunno how many it held ?

Saw a picture from early 1970s and no one sitting in it. When was the  last game it was used?

@The Rising Sun Not sure. I've noticed when I've used my laptop and my android phone. I keep forgetting to ask one of the admins. Anyone else having problems opening images?
