@CFCSweden1981 Yes, I had that, it was like a small tile wasnt it... I think I picked that up in the Portacabin Club Shop near the Portacabin Ticket office, late 70s ???
Sorry to hear the news that Tony Godden has passed away. The hero of Old Trafford in September 1986, two penalties saved in two minutes in front of the Stretford End. And a cracking post-match interview to follow.
Sleep well, sir 💙

RIP Tony Godden.
Sad to hear the passing of our former keeper.
Tony made 38 appearances between 1986 & 1987.
He will remembered for that night at Old Trafford when he saved two penalties 💙
Shot Of The Day
A familiar sight then, but sadly not now.
The massed ranks of Chelsea supporters and their police escort when Chelsea faced Newcastle United at St James’Park on 27th March 1982. It’s a long way home as Chelsea lose the game 1-0.
Today has been though.
I would like to thank the Paramedics,Police and the Coroners helping me and my Sister throughout the day.
We are going to miss you Dad.
🥲💔💔💔
Just got some more old programmes through the post. 80/81 season.
I had genuinely forgotten that Barota captained us despite the likes of Mickey Droy and Johnny B were around! Why was that? Seems an odd choice in hindsight. 🤔

Cost us about £400m to get worse players than our academy produces
I have no idea what the point is of having a huddle over the centre spot and 'respecting the ball'. It's performative nonsense imo.
But there is also no need for the ref to stand in the middle of it. What is he trying to achieve? Protect the ball? It enjoys being kicked! 😊
@thechelskikid Yes Borota played.
I remember it because CFC fans arranged to meet at SB & travel together.
It was the start of the promotion wheels falling off.
