That is a disgusting picture.

Chelsea's best ever player - FACT.

I believe Porterfield was Chelsea manager at the time? Same season he also went on loan to Southampton. Then returned to finish runner-up in the Rumbelows Sprint Challenge.

Only made two appearances but played with some good players, I had forgotten all about this.

Kes was there, but none of you were.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Not that many at Stamford Bridge to witness the exit of Chelsea in the away leg either, about 15k iirc........but that was back in the day

Yep - In the Southbank as it happens, with my jade green away shirt on under my Campri Ski jacket.

did you celebrate all four goals?

[leon]

Probably had an AD "stunner" on each arm

great free kick and it was good to be reminded of what Chelsea used to be like before all that money robbed from the Russian people made them into the scum they are now

Were you at the front, standing on a box like all the other 6 year olds?

[If you still hate Futcher]

Still remember that freekick by Hicks but had forgotten that they needed a dodgy penalty to score.

The atmosphere was brilliant for the away game was better but got absolutely soaked

[Mr Optimist]

I was there for both legs too. Remember at the Bridge we were 3-0 down at half time to a "juke box" Durie hattrick so their manager at the time, either john Hollins or Bobby Campbell took him off at half time to rest him for the next league match.

Colin donkey Gordon scores twice in the second half to see us through and Steve Francis plays a blinder to keep them out. About two thousand of us in one pen of the old away end going mental in the pissing rain, happy days!

Thought he preferred them more BC.

You mean 'shite'?

[AthleticoSpizz]

Bit of a shambloles season for the blues, however, they were 3rd in what was the premier division at the time of that EP game.
