Hi all,

 

Chelsea fan since the early 90s. My first game was in the 90-91 season.

I live up north now and haven't been to a game in years, but follow from afar. Might try this season to get to one up here.

Gordon.

Welcome @Gordon Bennett I remember the early 90's too, grim years yet character building.

Thank you!

Yes, I suppose they were grim. The 4-0 thumping in the cup final was the absolute worst. I also saw us lose 2-1 to Notts County in the league - can't see that happening again for a while.

We did have some good players though... Le Saux (was gutted we sold him), Andy Townsend, Dennis Wise, Tony Dorigo, Paul Elliot. It all changed when we got Ruud Gullit though - I remember watching him play and he was a level above everyone else, even though he was about 34 years old.

Well Gordon Bennett, it’s Gordon Bennett!

Yep and a nice move by Bates offering Hoddle training facilities after Spurs turned him down.

I liked Gavin Peacock too though an old Alan Dickens was not one of the best signings for sure.
