Reg Mathews in action. Mid 1950s.

 

Love those images with the packed west terrace in the background.

Yes, Peter Bonetti being treated by Harry Medhurst after being clattered by Mick Jones in the first half.  John Dempsey is holding up the goalpost.  The socks are a clue.

Johnny Hollins shirt and shorts are quality.

That deep Royal Blue colour was classic , our blue these days seems a shade or two lighter.

Totally agree. That 1970 strip is one of my top three home strips.
The others are the legendary 1983/84 Le Coq Sportif strip and the 1977/78 Umbro Strip..

Fillery celebrating ‘that’ free kick against Spuds in the Cup in ‘82, when he was good he was very good and could be a game changer, problem was half the time he did not look interested.

Doug Rougvie having his teeth re-fitted by Norman Medhurst, Phil Parkes, West Ham goalkeeper pretends to be interested.  Spring 86, we lost 0-4 to the pikeys at home and then 6-0 away at QPHa shortly afterwards.  Dreadful.

I enjoyed that and the halftime break.

Even when we pulled it back to 2-3 near the end I think we all knew that it wouldn't be our day.

A couple of years ago someone asked me " if I said "who's that up a tree " what would you reply? Like a flash I said......😜
