I nicked this idea off Twitter (doubt anyone will sue me ) post a photo of the Chelsea team the year you were born 1965 for me so obviously a b/w photo ?.

Managed to find one in colour LOL

Ossie and Tony Hateley are missing for some reason.

 

This was the team that played the day after I was born : a 2-1 win away at Burnley in February 1967 !

Please enjoy this high quality picture from 1986/87. I was born at the arse end if that season. Couldn’t name a single player mainly because they’re all a blur...

 

Edit: Obviously that’s Wee Pat Nevin front and centre...

Chelsea squad photo from the 1967 FA Cup Final programme. I was born in June 1967. So this is the nearest competitive match to my birthday.

MalWinklesFootballMemorabilia onTwitter.

We held league champions iverpool to a draw. Featuring a fantastic free kick from Barnes and a Hitchcock penalty save in the 85th minute. 

Must explain why I'm such a glory hunter ?. I was born in the week when we were equal to the best team in the country. 

Looked it up. We got relegated that season (via a playoff) despite only losing 2 home games all year.

Chelsea team from 1962

I've found the team from when Yorkleyblue was born..

This is mine from 1973, impressive. 

 

This is for my younger son. He was born in Oct 1995.

Colour wasn't invented yet when I was born 

 

I'm 1962 also

Decent squad

Technology has advanced in the last two years it seems.

Browsing through the forum normally takes me to the first unread post of the topic, how the f**k should I be anticipating someone would dig up a two year old thread and be expected remember something highly insignificant I did two years ago?
