Posted March 24, 200718 yr When I was a youngster in the 1960s and 70's I had the impression there were a FEW Scots playing for Chelsea. Now I remember Charlie Cooke and Eddy McCreadie... Any others ? BTW I am half English/Half Scotish !
March 24, 200718 yr Tom Boyd Peter Buchannan Craige Burley Jock Cameron Bobby Campbell Steve Clark Warren Cummings Gordon Durie Bobby Evans Hughie Gallacher Tommy Law David Speedie Jon Spencer...........there's only one Jonny Spencer
March 24, 200718 yr OK here's a few others: Mel Scott 1957-1962 Bobby Evans 1961 Tommy Docherty (yes really) 1961 4 games John Boyle 1964-1974 George Graham 1964-67 Tommy Knox 1962-65 Jim McCalliog 1964-66 Jim Thomson 1965-67 Billy Sinclair 1965 only played 1 game Paul McMillan 1967 only played 1 game Steve Finnieston 1974-78 Ian Britton 1972-82 Eamonn Bannon 1978-80 Tony McAndrew 1982-84 David Speedie 1982-87 Gordon Durie 1985-91 Derek Johnstone 1983-85 Duncan Shearer 1985-86 Les Fridge 1985-86 JOhn McNaught 1985-88 Billy Dodds 1986-89 Joe McLaughlin 1983-89 (his wife works for my company) Kevin McAllister 1985-91 Tom Boyd 1991-92 John Spencer 1992-97 Andy Dow 1993-96 David Hopkin 1992-95 Dave Mitchell 1988-91 Steve Hampshire 1997 Steve Clarke - still with us Craig Burley 1990-97 Many others but that'll do for now
March 24, 200718 yr I had forgotten Billy Dodds was with us for a few years - he must be close to setting the record for the most transfers in a playing career!
March 25, 200718 yr Joe McLaughlin 1983-89 (his wife works for my company) Big Joe, always one of my faves.
March 25, 200718 yr Few more - Stewart Houston, Tommy Hughes, Jock Finnieston, Duncan McKenzie. Chelsea fielded 8 Scots in one match back in the eighties! Watford at home 85/86, last game of the season, a match best forgotten about - we lost 1-5! Team that day (Scots in blue): - Les Fridge Darren Wood (John McNaught) Joe McLaughlin John Millar Doug Rougvie Keith Jones Kevin McAllister Nigel Spackman Gordon Durie David Speedie Paul Canoville
March 25, 200718 yr I wouldn't blame the Scots for that Bluebeard - clearly Sharon's fault! Absolutely! John Hollins clearly thought so too, as he brought the maestro John McNaught on to replace him! Must admit, Les Fridge had a mare that day!
March 25, 200718 yr Joe McLaughlin 1983-89 (his wife works for my company) Big Joe, always one of my faves. And his missus is one of my faves
March 29, 200718 yr I was a little disappointed it took until about the 4th post in the thread before wee Pat's name came up Cheers, Butch
March 29, 200718 yr Never saw him play but no-ones mentioned Charlie Cooke!! Shame on you Another scot in the 70's FA cup winning side was John Boyle
March 29, 200718 yr Never saw him play but no-ones mentioned Charlie Cooke!! Shame on you Another scot in the 70's FA cup winning side was John Boyle Charlie was mentioned in the initial post, as was Eddie Mac! I was lucky enough to see Charlie play many times, and he was a better player than Wee Pat - a magician when he had the ball at his feet. Don't want to seem pedantic, but Johnny Boyle wasn't in the 70 FA Cup winning side, though he was in the first team squad.
March 29, 200718 yr I meant squad. I know John quite well and have had the privelidge of peering through his scrap book! He has some great stories to tell!
