Legend Dixon. Dam, good side. Electric atmosphere. Away days I miss, screaming for glory. A time without the pretentious star. Used to have that kit. Do Chels sell that retro shirt?
Am a Man Utd supporter and went to this game when in London for that time. Was in the Clock End with thousands of Chelsea supporters. Great game and great times then.
@@chelsealookback So many but some games just stick with you, like another favourite of mine, Milk Cup [League Cup] replay. Sheffield Wednesday 4-4 Chelsea. We were 3-0 down at half time. Paul Canoville came on as a 2nd half sub and scored almost instantly. We got back to 3-3 and then in extra-time went 3-4 up only for the big Scottish lump that is Doug Rouvie to give away a penalty in the last few seconds of the game. They scored 4-4 ref blew the whistle. We played them a 3rd time and won 2-1. It was bedlam. Police horses on the pitch, fights in the away end. Fights outside. Fights on the way to their coaches. Let's just say that there were a lot of fights. Crazy times 👌🏼
awesome memories man..i was kid in the 1980s but friends brothers used to go to matches...They followed Chelsea..it was always kicking off though..but cheap to get in and the camaraderie was wicked..
Those Were The Days, My Friend. THAT was a football atmosphere.Not this sterile, sanitized,silent ASS(All Seater Stadiums) and I am Millwall in my 8th decade at 5am..lol
WHAT A CONTRAST.....THEN; Packed crowds, mostly standing right on top of the pitch.Fantastic celebrations and spontaneous, natural celebrations within seconds of ensuring the pitch Officials award the goal. NOW 2023 STYLEE? Crowds are forced to sit (Officially though not always in practice) well away from some pitches like West Ham. They often don't celebrate but wait, sometimes, for VAR to verify the goal which can take 3 or 4 minutes THEN have a "secondary" celebration of a Screen: Big Brother Style, sucking all the fun and joy out of the game and next May,I enter my 8th decade. Just look at the limbs when Chelsea equalised,for example.
@@craigmullen9046 Generally, yes, Craig although my "Over 63" Season Ticket for Millwall works out at £11 per game compared to the "Over 65" ticket soon at Charlton where I have paid £28 to see this Division 1 match against Birmingham:). I walked on the pitch when Arsenal played Millwall in midweek around this time.I had my London suit on, as it was after work and The Millwall End was completely full so I went into The North Bank. Stayed for 15 seconds.Hid my scarf.Walked across the pitch 20 minutes before kick-off gesturing to imaginary officials and people in the packed stand.Arrived at THe Clock End. Displayed my scarf and was let in. LOL Good Luck.
was in the north bank my first ever london derby, shdnt say it but clock end a great sight when away team scored! chelsea tottenham west ham and i think millwall in cup only 4 who filled it,great days
I was there in clock end that day-THAT is what older fans of any club mean when they say the atmosphere in grounds was better back then-call me an old fart all you like but warch highlights of matches like this,followed Chels all over the country and saw atmospheres and support like this at all the grounds-now its sterile,plastic,lifeless,synthetic,plastic etc,atmosphere was much better back then,thanks all the best Piers a.k.a. Chopper.
Not a supporter of either team but in my 7th decade of attending my team's games(Millwall) and it makes you cry to see what atmospheres we USED to have with fans on top of the pitch and the majority of fans CHOOSING to stand amidst the serried ranks of their fellow fans and then those that know "better" moved in to create, relatively, sterile, silent, sanitized, soulless Stadiums.... Progress,innit ! Innit???????
True. There’s something really bootiful about a packed terrace. The grounds used to all look different and they had such character. Not like the featureless all-seater bowls they have now.
Defo agree there mate. Who wants to sit down at the football? It aint tennis or basketball, its the beautiful game. I loved the terraces being a grange end boy of ninian park, now our new ground the cardiff city stadium lacks the atmosphere, unless its a derby game. Bring back our terraces!!
Chelsea had no fans until 04 apparently 😂😂 used to love when we scored at an away ground and see the pockets of Chelsea fans in all 4 corners of a stadium ⚽️
Football was loads better then, real football n fans, loads better atmospheres, i followed glasgow rangers in the 80s, , im from west yorkshur originally, grandad had a leeds scarf in the kitchen drawer, been goin to leeds games since 09 league 1 first ever was millwall at home, leeds still got the old skool feel, prems pathetic at times now to many libraries
It was a pleasure to follow blues back then...my apologies to the sterile fans in at least two sides of the bridge who hardly blink when we score....always a blue tho...we ll be back
Manchester city fan of 40 years. I got fed up with it all due to ludicrous ticket prices,Shit sanitized atmospheres, and silly kick off days and times to accommodate Sky and TNT sport's. I don't go anymore done with an heavy heart, I just got pissed of with it all. It's not the game I grew up with in the 80s and 90s watching from the kippax at Maine Road.
Dixon and Dixon again and Chelsea have equalised. Those words are embedded in my brain. I was so excited day, I'd have kissed a woman on the mouth. 😂😂😂 CFC⭐⭐
The one thing I remember about this is that just about every Chelsea fan near me at the front of the Clock End joined in the almost compulsory round of polite applause for Pat Jennings as he took up his place in the goalmouth. Half-hearted perhaps, but no other goalie got a similar reaction. He nodded and raised a glove in acknowledgement. Best British goalie of the last 50 years?
Chelsea's first season back in top tier, first game and their fans were excited about visiting Arsenal. The following season they brought around 500 to Highbury.
45’329 in there that day, probably 3k more, as was the case in them days. I loved the clock end when the terracing wrapped round to the east & west stands.
Chelsea go on about how they were scattered everywhere around Highbury that day, same happened to you lot when West Ham won 4-0 at the Bridge in 1986. West Hame were everywhere that day
As a yid I was at ME , usual rent boy nonsense. WHU tried to run at your tube and OB chased them. Rent boys always needed protection At highbury in this match u got mullered with gooners taking it to u on west stand at SB
wHU absolutely battered u clowns on the west stand as well as in gate 13 . Outside u were slashed big time with Shakes being taken It was dangerous to be a rentboy at SB that day
We come to 86 and in an arranged meet u clowns get done at New Malden by us yids and regularly at Richmond tube Hope the history lesson proved useful in reminding how u were pussies. Oh I forgot to mention batterings at Cambridge,Preston etc

Was at that game chelsea had the whole clock end
I went home and away back then and we had massive away support everywhere we went.
3rd largest in the 70’s… I know this is the 80’s though 😂😂
@@TanPerry-h4gI think 83 84 promotion year Chelsea had tihird largest away support

Chelsea in all 4 sides of the ground that day.
Those were the days indeed. Remember Chelsea coming down to Brighton in 1983.
Now Brighton away was a game. Some serious ammunition taken to the South Coast
I was there (in the away end)! Best Chelsea kit ever!
After the 1970 strip.
I was there in the away end. Best opening game to a season in 52 years of going.
Amazing, what memories you have

My first away in Division 1! What a season that was for us!
Love that Dixon goal .
Went to this fantastic day out we took thousands,big Dougie nearly snapped a Arse player in half💙🍻
In the top 10 of best away supports of all time. UTC
I was in the clock end absolute scorcher my mate had his donkey jacket on
He almost fainted
... and no mention of global warming/climate change back then !
Dixon and Dixon again and Chelsea have equalised. Those words are embedded in my brain. I was so excited day, I'd have kissed a woman on the mouth. 😂😂😂 CFC⭐⭐
Me and my brother right behind the goal absolute quality
Amazing 😃🙌
I can't see you. Whereabouts?
@@Isleofskye😂
@@DuncanEdwards-h8k lol
Amazing support back then. Notice how the entire clock end erupts when Dixon scores.
20,000 away chelsea fans that day !
Must of been a hell of a track all of 7 miles cross London🤪
@@jj-oc2sy Must of been hell of a trek GETTING RUN EVERYWHERE YA FEKKIN SAUSAGES 💪💪😂😂
Run by who ? 😂😂 been done at westham and Swansea,run nah cockhead.

Would have put money on that clock end being double sold. Feet rarely touched the ground. Great days tho.

The Shed looked up and saw a star! Scoring goals past Pat Jennings from near and far!
Pat was grat but Peter Shilton.
My god look at highbury then!
this is class
😃🙌
The slam the bounce call it what
You want but it’s pure ecstasy - if you know you know
Back when it was the people's game

Great days miss Highbury
PROPER SUPPORT NOT YOUR RAINBOW WARRIORS !!!!!
Chelsea before the money
No shit Sherlock
I was there
I was in the north Bank though I'm going on what these Chelsea lot are saying we'll I don't remember them there at all
Good old Arsenal ❤COYG
i raced out of this game and made my way to Shepard's bush, bryan robson scored for WBA against QPR
That’s strange, Robson was playing for Man U at this point, he signed for them in June 1981 and left in may 1994.
