It does look like Lineker in the picture. He was interviewed on Saturday Live on BBC Radio 4 yesterday. It would have been great if the training had been brought up in the interview. It looks like our one time player Dennis Rofe being interviewed. 

Jock Wallace, a legendary manager. I doubt it his style of managing and relationship with the media would be allowed nowadays. Did a great job with Rangers.

I think Jock Wallace was from the Gullane area.

It's East of Edinburgh, if you don't know it's location.

So that's perhaps why he knew of and used the beach there.

Cheers. Just had a look at the map and Gullane is not far from his home town of Wallyford. As you say, he must have used the beach in his younger days.

Chelsea pre season training amongst the sand dunes in Aberystwyth in 1983

That pre season.

 

One of Jock Wallace's most famous quotes.

Some overcrowding at Goodison.

Believe it or not, they are playing QPR in May 1985.

It's the Everton supporters, not the 'legendary QPR away support' mind you.

It might actually be us playing.

That was a very good Everton side. A shame that they didn't have a chance to shine in Europe.

Sir Stanley Matthews played two games for Rangers during World War 2.

One v Morton above.

The other a Glasgow Charity Cup Final 3-0 win over Partick Thistle at Hampden.

Indeed, A what if ? for Everton and their supporters.

Pre Match' Entertainment' at The Den.

This was before The 1978 sixth-round FA Cup-tie between Millwall and Ipswich

 

The Copland Road end of Ibrox. Taken in the 1930s. Apart from one or two people all the fans are wearing bunnets.

Just had a look at his goal scoring record. Incredible goals to game ratio. 251 goals in 274 games for Sunderland and Middlesbrough. Only played twice for England.

The old Wembley terracing.

Amazing and amazing !

Here's Brian Clough with Jimmy Greaves at The Bridge, for an England training session in 1959.

A bit different. Some interesting hairstyles here. Given that barbers and hairdressers are going to be closed for the foreseeable future it will be interesting to see what our hair will look like. I recognise most of the players in the picture. John Dempsey looks like Max Wall.

 

Paul Breitner and Kevin Keegan with the perm, circa 1978 !

Some more.

Sorry Wee Pat !

@erskblue Some very dodgy haircuts. Here's another. Cue the song: "He's got a pineapple on his head."

Includes Tommy Langley. Also in the picture is Alan Curbishley. I don't recognise any of the other names.

Ally meets Ali.

A few pictures from Chelsea's game against Rangers at Ibrox in 2007. What a great day that was.

Frank up against Barry Ferguson. Two wonderful midfielders. Barry's brother Derek was a fine player but went off the rails.
