@emlynhughes6@henrywinter My mum was a chamber maid at a hotel your father often stayed at. He made a massive fuss of her as she often did his room and always asked about her ‘Chelsea mad son’ (me)! Kevin K and your dad were her two faves! She passed last year but we spoke about it a few months before!
@MatthewStadlen Hope son enjoyed it. Make sure you keep your ticket and your programme if you got one! My first was v Finland in 1976 (but I’m older than you)! Ray Clemence was in goal for (and did a very controversial ‘professional foul’) Ray and Peter alternated the goalkeeping position!
@TonyIncenzo South Shields for me (ST Holder) followed by Jarrow and Hebburn Town, although ‘crow flies’ North Shields is close with Whitley Bay a bit further up! The ‘big 5’ as I see it!
@dougbagleyfdl Not forgetting of course the good old Wembley Tour! Walking up the tunnel, with crowd noise coming from the tannoy, ul the steps to the Royal Box etc! My first visit was in 1976 to see a cracking FA Trophy Final between Scarborough and Stafford Rangers.
@thechelskikid Mickey Thomas 75k. We were just starting to drop off in 83/4 before he signed. Lost Grimsby at home, Boro away, Blackburn away in Cup, drew at home to Pompey and sneaked past Brighton! Hardly dropped a point after in signed. Oh and Joe Cole at £6m
@curtiswoodhous8 I guess I would offer up Ken Norton as certainly knocking on door of top 10. 90s coild have been great with Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, Ruddock, but sadly didn’t work out!
@ukcasuals2 Indeed I always associate this item with. Cardiff City more than anyone else, although maybe as my visit with Chelsea in 1984 was very wet!!
@bornatotter@whitewall618431 Long since forgotten the ‘North Stand do your job’ ditty. A much softer and classier version than the ‘you’re gonna get your f**king head kicked in’ preferred by northern fans, especially Middlesbrough!
@aussieafc@casualsdirect Indeed Paul. Adults (over 18) went half price with 4 kids (under 16) went for a £1!
There were some small adults and some big kids walking around!
