inching towards a life of leisure, love most sports and the family! Oh, and have this unhealthy passion for Chelsea FC

@colincheam @UberCheIseaFC Belletti’s OG Nou Camp? Before Didier got sent off?

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@colincheam @carefree1965 I too, am calmer than I thought I was Col!

@eddiemacbawa @Paul_I_Ward It absolutely pissed down that day and there was no room in the shed so had to stand and watch outside. Miserable.

@rossfox25 17 mins to go. “We can still do it!”

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@eddiemacbawa Enjoyed that better than the 0-4, eh? Didn’t the Luton chairman say he’d try to get games with us played at 2 in the morning to deter us from pitching ip? No chance

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@gazmorgo @forgottengoals My dad said that too

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@TomCoyle57 @eddiemacbawa Likewise with old man but in west (lower)? Not many Chels in that day but a fabulous day for a nipper like me at the time.

@selvecricket I think our entire school (Battersea GS) got the morning off to huddle round the only TV to witness one of its star ex-pupils play for England. Brilliant session watching those wickets tumble Mike 👍

@CFCCath Massive fan of Kovacic. Doesn’t seem to last out the 90 mins too often but love his injection of pace, control and switch of play.

@grahamefendle @tim_rolls @WeAre_TheShed Standing on those frozen terraces at Meadow Lane when Jonny B scored our LAST away goal of the season in November FFS. To quote modern day rhetoric, it was about to get worse before it got better, tho not much beats 78/9 for me so was already on the up!

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@deedeeporige Was indeed in kings head that day. We all poured out from various boozers onto district line and the walk from Upton Park stn to ground best described as ‘lively’. Locked out, hammered 4-0. Back in the Manor Arms, Streatham for opening time! Happy days

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

Johnny B had already scored our last away goal of the season, and yet still we turned up 🤦‍♂️

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

Was than when or after the floodlights failed (2 v v late goals)

@tim_rolls Chelsea v Preston 1969 FA Cup replay for me, 3 day week, Monday afternoon, 36k in, so many bunked of school

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

So many deserving candidates mate. I do think that JT/FL/DD embrace is such a powerful image for both young and old (if only Petr was in it too) , but as long as the cat’s bronze captures those ludicrously thin keeper’s gloves, that’ll do for me!

[Cliff Auger @MIBIAL]

@WeAre_TheShed Word has already gone in for Peter Bonetti.

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@Oldskoolawayday Think Mickey Fillery had more Guinness than I did in the woodman the night before - if only that late header went in! York tavern coach, m4 at a standstill on the way back. Detoured to a pub in wilts somewhere - ‘52 pints of lager please?’

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@tim_rolls @Mupingmike @MemorabiliaMal Brilliant times Tim. Actually went to the following two trips up there. Tommy Langley 1-0 and Clive walker’s first goals 3-1 I think? Lively on both occasions!

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@Mupingmike @tim_rolls @MemorabiliaMal Indeed so! Wasn’t at the game myself, but the sound of incredulity in Hugh John’s voice on ITV as the camera panned around the South? Bank to a sea of blue was fab.

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@eddiemacbawa @ChelseaFC @PatNevin In West Stand upper that day. The most magical of memories. IIRC, soon after Kerry’s miss we went in leading at HT, and then Pat teed up Speedie early in 2nd half to continue the rout. Fabulous.

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@tim_rolls @MemorabiliaMal ‘You can’t ban a Chelsea fan’ eh Tim?

[Jerry Kendik @jerrykend]

@HeathrowAirport Thx for your help.
