Popular Post chara Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 (edited) One of the most popular Chelsea players with the real Chelsea faithful ...somewhat unsung amongst a glittering array of characters and great players much appreciated and beloved by that (my) generation of fans. THE Chelsea makeweight transfer deal( for George Graham) and coming from Arsenal he had to overcome that "stigma" but did so with aplomb and became ours. Crossed paths with him back in the 80's, friend of a work mate...... Thank You Tommy aka The Sponge... Memories for the ages.

Sciatika Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I think I can see Ossie, Marvin Hinton, Alan Birchenall(?), Peter Bonetti, Keith Weller(?), John Boyle(?), Eddie Mac, Ian Hutchinson, David Webb, John Hollins, ????, Peter Houseman, Paddy Mulligan(?). I would say it has to be 1970 because Weller only joined around then . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 'Chopper', Hudson, can't recognise Stuart Houston there, Bobby Tambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneB Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 The great Charlie Cooke is there. Can't see Tambling or Weller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 You're right. Charlie Cooke is next to Peter Houseman. I wondered if Keith Weller was the face below Peter Bonetti, but now I think it might be Tommy Baldwin or even Stewart Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chara Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) Bit late due to time difference but pretty much got it right,,,but so young and look like a good Sunday side on Easter Tour unlike the modern lot with fashion kit coiffured hair and tattoos every where! And yep Paddy Mulligan at the end. So many gone now but still "Forever Young" in my memory at least. Edited June 5 by chara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind the goal at Wembley as Houseman's shot dribbles over the line,,,Hollins perpetual motion..Hinton all cool and early Sir P.... who have I missed?...Paddy M a tenacious full back,and the Birch always a lightness of spirit and well liked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
