    I thought it was too early to be 1976. Before Asian tourists, 50-50 scarves when the game was played at 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon with no ticket needed. Cool memories and times that will never come back to English football. Bovril, Harringtons, red white and green scarves, flight jackets. Ozzie. The game has lost its roots

      Dennis Clark ~ Yeah,
      A Lot of the Chelsea crew were Skinheads
      The Skinhead Movement was to influence & inspire a Generation of Young people,
      One of these young people was a young man called Ian Stuart.
      Ian Stuart, Like so many young men dreamed of a career in Rock ‘n’ Roll
      But when in 1977 he formed Skrewdriver,
      A Punk Group Based in North West England,
      No one could have predicted the rollercoaster ride that he was about to endure.
      With two singles and an album recorded Skrewdriver were heading for the dizzy heights of rock stardom,
      But when their concerts became battlegrounds & gained the band a reputation that saw them Banned from London venues,
      Disowned by their record label and slaughtered in the mainstream music press most people would have put it down to experience & shuffled off into a Dystopian day Job.
      it is testament to the resilience of Ian Stuart that against staggering odds he refused to be defeated.
      This Remarkable Story is well documented in the fascinating book called
      “The Ian Stuart - Skrewdriver Biography”
      This records the historical journey that started as a highly rated punk vocalist mixing with the likes of
      The Sex Pistols,
      Bob Geldof,
      Siouxsie & The Banshees,
      Motörhead,
      Iggy Pop,
      Sham69,
      Sting from the Police,
      & Suggs From Chart toppers Madness.
      Right the way thru to National Front Demonstrators,
      British Movement Marches,
      Ku Klux Klan Leaders in the U.S,
      & Top Skinhead Recruits for the Blood & Honour Organisation That he founded back in 1987.
      The Record Shops refused to sell his albums,
      Yet they sold thousands,
      His Concerts were starved of any publicity,
      Yet even his enemies would admit that he could easily fill venues as big as the Royal Albert Hall.
      This Remarkable in-depth story traces his early beginnings in Blackpool through to his Murder as a National Socialist & Skinhead Legend in 1993.
      We’ve all heard stories about rebellious rock stars,
      But this is a Truly unique account of a Rebel with a Cause.
      & one who lived through the Pain, Pressure, & Patriotic Pride that was his Life.
      I’ll Never forget about Ian Stuart, he Gave a Generation Of Working Class Youth a Sense Of Pride & Belonging to our Once Great Nations.
      Even if you Revile this Movement,
      it’s ideas,
      & it’s Rock Music & Patriotic ballads ,
      it is a very interesting & important piece of Social & Youth Culture History.

      It's amazing, isn't it? When we had no money that was apparently our natural position. When we did get money that was unfair.
      I've been thinking recently that every team that got screwed by starting to build a new stand when the 70's oil crisis tanked the western economies (Wolves, Burnley, Sheffield United, a little later Middlesbrough, and if I'm wrong about any of these I hope their fans will correct me) got relegated, not just to Div 3 but to Div 4.
      I know CFC took it close, but we never went lower than the old Division 2. However, as I say, the 'football historians' have that as our rightful place.
      Chelsea were big spenders right from their very formation, as befits the West End team. They were the first team to buy foreign players on big money (and by foreign players I mean the Scots who changed the way football was played in the pre-WW1 years.
      We always bought superstars (Hughie Gallagher, Tommy Lawton) and we always produced our home grown brilliance (has there ever been a better English teenager than Jimmy Greaves)?

      It's 'Cinefilm'. Basically an old fashioned small handheld 'soundless' video camera. There was never any sound, because they didn't have the technology to record sound - just visual.
      People made home, and holiday movies with them, and like this footage...trips to football matches.
      They were popular throughout the 50's, 60's, and 70's....before the video camera with sound made them obsolete, when it arrived in the late 70's.
