Old Chelsea Stories

[Changingman_2000 876]

IMO those were our BEST days ,, the days before had been hard to bear at times .. and the 90s laid the ground for the arrival

of Roman and our greater triumphs ... But beating Middlesboro in the Members cup was a great memory. And the arrival of

Hoddle followed by Gullit then Zola and Vialli really set the scene

Beating Boro in the Zenith was a good day out, but four years before that, there was the Full Members Cup Final against Citeh mad fucking day all round, not least on the pitch with Chels cruising 5-1 with minutes to go, yet had to hold on for a 5-4.

Nerves were shredded..........................over the Full Members Cup! Fuck me.

Then there was early 90's, and Bates getting involved with that Russell Grant tarot reading bloke, and starting the 'Middlesex Cup', I mean, I went to two of those games, sad, I know.

Then something to do with Le Harve a year or so later, fuck knows what that was all about.

We signed Clive Allen this day in 1991.

Scored some blinders for us, and he actually cried when we sold him to West ham. He had a row with Porterfield apparently, our manager then, and then we signed the equivalent of Torres in the Summer -Mr Robert Fucking Fleck

Fact.

Robert Fleck, the season before, Norwich had done us 3-0 at The Bridge and he scored a screamer. He was never prolific though. He just never got off the ground, ran himself silly but it just didn't work. I was at the League Cup game vs Walsall when he grabbed the ball off Ernie (I think), and scored the penalty.

Clive Allen was great for us. Porterfield's man management was pants, to say the least.
