Can still remember 11 year old me, standing in the paddock with my dad and Chelsea supporting uncle . Couldn’t wipe the smile off of my face for days . Not so much my uncle .

I was in the paddock as well. Seemed to remember it was quite mixed and quite a few very unhappy Chelsea fans in there
I have few regrets in life but getting pi$$ed as a parrot the Friday night before this game, waking up at 10am and thinking "I'll just grab another hour" and then coming round again at 3:05pm is one of them.
Listened to it on the radio as you did when you were 16 years old and hungover.
My days...........
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal
Yeah great memories. All the trains were iff so I travelled from SE london via Woolwich ferry to Central Line East London and got on from there. Went with a Chelshite “mate”…funny enough didn’t see him after!!
Also met a Wall lad I knew on way back and even he pissed himself when I recounted the score…happy days…and I was 18 so that also helped

walking down ellerslie road after and the look on there poor faces still makes me laugh .
Remember it so well. They were in the title race and had just lost 0-4 to West Ham on the Good Friday. A sorry Easter for them. I also recall the School End bursting into a chorus of 'Chel*** aggro' after our fifth goal - nothing left for them to say.
In S Block with my lovely Dad on the day and remember how easy the game was for us. Back in those days the young me was used to us regularly competing in the top league with the bigger teams…… little did we know that within a decade those days would be gone.

I think it was Easter Saturday when they shipped 4 goals to West Ham,and there was talk about them going for the title until that Easter weekend. Still the funniest thing about football was them being top in October and not winning for 25 games and subsequently being relegated in the first season of the playoffs.Or John Teary slipping on his a@Rae in the champions league penalty shootout in 2008.
I was in the Paddock with my mates (a couple of them were Chelsea). A day that continues to live long in the memory.
I didn't know it at the time but the eighties and early nineties were the real golden era growing up and becoming a young man. Life was just so much better all round with no phones and social media.
My kids keep saying I sound like like Uncle Albert "During the war...."
Yes, great memories. I was sitting right under the gantry and I am sure I can hear my voice!! A bit croaky by the end. The John Byrne special is so clear in my mind. And waving goodbye to Speedie was fun too.
