My favourite Chelsea team ever...Thrills, spills and pure joy!

 

Anybody remember when our away strip was Red shirts, white shorts & green socks?

 

My vintage is probably different to yours Ginge. But loved the mid 90's when we started the ball rolling back towards a winning side. Some real flair sides started to emerge as well with the likes of Gullit, Zola, Di Matteo, Petrescu plus steel as well with Wise, Hughes etc.

A game that always strikes me as massive in the context of that period was coming from 2-0 down to beat Liverpool in an early fa cup round (4th round?). Went on to win the cup and then the cup winners cup the next year. Great days.

 

Yes! Great days those although I probably have the benefit of age here my memories allegedly go back further.

 

I was at that game.
2-0 down at half time and we won 4-2.
Also remember the 1-6 tonking we gave Spurs at White Hart Lane in 97/98 season when Flo scored a Hat trick.
One of my favourite games I ever watched though was the Cup Winners Cup semi final against Vicenza, we were 1-0 down from the first leg away, then they came to the Bridge and scored, meaning we needed 3 goals to go through, Poyet, Hughes and Zola came through for us and we got the win. One of the few times I remember Zola scoring with his head.

 

Great games. Also the 4-3 ding dong with Spurs at the Bridge with Stein scoring a late pen to win it.

 

I remember an awesome 4-3 win at Ewood Park too against Blackburn. (Back when Blackburn were good, this was only a couple of seasons after their title win I think).
They were 3-2 up with 15 minutes left and Flo came on and scored a brace to get the win.

 

What about
Beating liverpool 2.0 in the fa cup in the 80s with Peter roades brown and that was when they were tops and us 2nd division

 

......sorry for being a computer games geek.....early to mid 1990s when we had the Commodore and Commodore Amiga shirt sponsorship. Real 'flair' shirt sponsorship for the discerning computer games addict of the era.

 

Watching Alan Hudson and Charlie Cooke rip and tear and Osgood just bang them in, that was something to see.
Then Jimmy Floyd and Guidjohnsen fed by Zola, or Flo, like a giraffe with a lethal finish, too many good players to pick the best. Favourites? Hudson, Zola and Lampard, creators and scorers supreme.

 

I had a Commodore Amiga 500 computer at the time as well.
I still have a Commodore shirt, a Coors shirt, an Autoglass shirt and a Fly Emirates shirt in my closet

 

'Building Sights' from 1990 shows our Commodore sponsorship, a real good blast from the past. Enjoy......

 

How many people saw that sight as they ran through Brompton cemetery

 

......and who here was on the pitch at the end of this game against Leeds? When the East Stand was a 'building site' and not a 'building sight'.....

 

Wasn't on the pitch that day but made good 10 years later when they smashed the scoreboard and the whole west stand shedendAnd the old gate in the the North let them know where they were that day. Not that I condone that sort of thing ☺

 

Yep, mid 70's.

 

Do you remember villa away we ran the length of the pitch and put the zulus ( there name then) back in there stand . I know those days are gone and rightly so but we were good

 

I think the 'zulus' may have been Birmingham City, they used to wear Donkey Jackets to absorb body punches.

 

You're right lost a bit of memory there but remember putting them back in there own end Midlands was always good away games . Do you remember the old go away go away with greenaway song .when Mickey used to organize the away tickets. This thread has brought me back to life even though I'm still a season ticket holder and still meet all the old chaps every home game. Bless you all

 

.....it's a different country now. My Grandad used to take me to football and he served in World War 2 in the army. What bothered him was not the fighting at Stamford Bridge but seeing teenage lads with long hair. That was the 1970s.
