Seeing as its FA Cup day here in England and I'm not at Chelsea today, lets go back in time. Its the 5th Round of the FA Cup in February 1982. The European and League Champions Liverpool are at Stamford Bridge and are expected to beat struggling 2nd Division Chelsea. But it didn't happen did it : - ) An early Peter Rhodes Brown goal and a late Colin Lee tap in right in front of the Shed End brought mass celebrations in SW6. These were dark days for a Chelsea fan but this day was special. This was the one and only time my camera went to the Bridge and this picture was taken on the final whistle. Within a minute,I was on the pitch too (my first time on the hallowed turf)
PS - Matey in the front of me with the hair is now bald
PSS - Hopes of Wembley were dashed in Round 6 when the dreaded Tottenham beat us 3 2 also at home. We were winning 1 0 at half time as well : - (
PSSS - Steven Gerrard is GUILTY and should just admit it.

Well what do you know ? I was there and probably only a few yards from you. This was about two months before I moved to Cornwall.

Do you remember when for 1 season 3rd bottom in 1st division played 3rd top in second in a play off ? CFC v Boro, my boss came back from stamford bridge with a black eye, lol, Cheers Lads. Format was changed because of CFC fans lol. Cheers again whoever punched my boss Gonk
Yes mate 1988 : - ((( We lost up at Boro 2 0 and won at home 1 0 (Speedie scored in the 1st few mins) This meant that we were and still are the only top flight top to be relegated via the playoffs.
There was shitloads of trouble and I'm not surprised your boss got punched lol It was mayhem outside the ground.
Boss had a wedding to go to when Zenith Data final was on lol Honest
