    Superb find!! Obviously I’d love my Dad to be still alive (sadly at 105 it would be wishful thinking) but it’s stuff like this that rings so many bells about stuff he told me By 1945 he’d be

The Big match on ITV4 this weekend was our game away at Chelsea in 1975.  What a shithole Stamford Bridge was in those days, shocking pitch too.  Surprisingly some awful bits of play by the two Peters, Reid and Thompson but what a player Alan Waldron looked like.

Just watched that. Always amazes me how such a big ground became so cramped when developed and by Christ it was such a shithole as you say 

Yeah Waldron looked good but Paul Jones was supreme and Siddall had a belter

Loved Brian Moore’s long whinge about how their penalty should have been retaken :D.

Was that our last win in London before the infamous London curse struck?

Worthy scored a goal he rated as his best

Aye. Had forgotten about that one

Notwithstanding the obvious point that you can fit many more standing people than seated people in the same space, I think they funded the redevelopment of the stadium by selling off a fair bit of land for property development. I’m fairly sure the modern football stadium has a smaller footprint than the old Stamford Bridge.

Definitely. That hotel takes up a fair chunk.

SKD giving the filth what they deserve. 

I guess old purple nose was not hopping about quite the same when Evans did for Stuart Holden.

Co-commentator, Gordon McQueen. I will contain my comments there given he is no longer with us. Suffice to say it must have taken him a long time to recover his confidence after 22 December 1978 and his attempts at marking Franky Worthy.

Wonder if that was the "because I don't like you" incident? Davies to Evra.

Sounded like McQueen to me. But Crerand was ten times worse.

We were on ITVs the big match again this weekend.  The 2-1 win over Sunderland in 1975 in front of 42,000. Barr, Lada, Unipart and the Lamplighter restaurant amongst the advertising hoardings.  Sam's header, whilst not as far out as legend had it, was still a cracker.

Brilliant game. Great goal for them. Tremendous own goal in return.

Anyone know what the stuff at the beginning was all about ?

Even more so if we'd actually played in Plovdiv.

There was a Michael Palin travel show thing where he visited Plovdiv & it showed a communist bloc high rise estate where the gypsys had taken it over & kept their horses in the ground floor flats.

It would have been an interesting place to visit😄  , better than Sunny Beach !!
