He is currently doing commentary for the women's U-20 World Cup in Costa Rica. He works for FIFA and did the last World Cup in Russia for them along with Ian Darke and Paul Dempsey. Can still be prone to giving Yarksher a mention. I had some dealings with him at work a few months ago. I was a little starstruck tbh.

Woznotwas Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Does appear to be Chelsea. Stamford Bridge was also a dog track until 1970 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs that did seem to hold a better gravitas to me. Obviously Chelsea was tasty as, and the shed would've been mental but never stirs anything for me. Compare that to say Leeds when it would be limbs every week on MOTD. Even Coventry was ace. Hate the way cameras at Burnden used to pan the lever end instead of the paddock or MRN.

Yeah when I see photos of the old away end there (I say old, think it was still there until at least 2 seasons after PL started) it was an Italian style curve well away from the pitch! Mid 90s MOTD for me was always about seeing these old grounds being upgraded and the ends behind nets having big boards covering the work up instead, like that crowd painting at Arsenal 😃 I need to revisit the early 90s Roadrunner DVDs, always seem to remember no matter the size of our away followings the celebrations looked insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite scary, Bolton fans got clobbered & at one point I'm pretty sure i was under that stand trying to keep safe......there were some bruised faces on the special going back from Euston !! A few years later we had another bad time on that end ( but I think the odd stand had gone by then ) when we won 1-0 & Siddall ?? saved a late penalty which really pissed them off. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, .... when it started getting very nasty , for safety i went & stood next to an official looking bloke in a white coat. I don't know who was more surprised, him when he saw he had a weird kid stood next to him or me, when he turned round & had something like "Chelsea Axe Men " written on the back of his coat. Butcher's coats weren't a thing in the north & never really caught on but a few cockneys wore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit annoyed that they’ve obviously had it for years. Almost as long as they had that temporary stand behind the goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
