- Manchester United began the 1985-86 campaign in style - they won their first ten league matches and were top of the First Division from the opening day up until New Year. But then, their form imploded and, by the time of this game, both Merseyside clubs had overtaken them. Ron Atkinson's tenure in the Old Trafford hotseat was drawing to a close. Peter Brackley is the commentator.
Dixon was awesome, the reason I started following Chelsea as a kid and now nearly 40 years later I still live this club.
Dixon and speedie where a formidable partnership in my teenage years going Chelsea home and away best days of my life we always filled our away allocation often with thousands locked outside or in the home end great days💙👊
Aàa00
travelled from barrow to watch the mighty CFC that night,what a following we had back then,amazing support,........still go nowerdays but the cracks gone now,they fucked footry up when they stopped us standing on the terraces in my opinion.i would give anything to go back to the 70s/80s.just a magical time following CFC.
True mate, used to have a great laugh, win or lose back in the old days.
Couldn't agree more! I went all over the country with Chelsea back in the 80's and it was always packed in our end. I hate all-seater stadiums there's no atmosphere. Bring back terracing. Nowadays football is too glitzy I prefer the old Shed (the middle) a few pints in The Swan or King's Head at the proper time of 3 o'clock on a saturday, not 8pm on a monday night .Bloody sky has ruined football!!!
Sentiments shared, went everywhere with Leeds, stopped going in 97 just couldn't cope with sitting down & the new breed of supporters that sky tv was attracting, that along with foreign cunts coming for the money & fucking women suddenly making an appearance in the stands ...ugh!! tragic! fuck the modern game
According to Utd fans we never showed up at Old Trafford
Ok dokey
clive young it’s the same united fans that don’t show up at old Trafford themselves. 😂
Love a story with a happy ending. Kerry Dixon was a superb striker. So much composure in front of goal.
Got me supporting Chelsea with Dixon/Speedie partnership banging in the goals in the old 2nd Division 1983-84 season. Then they went to the top division as champs and did the same again, What strike partnership could do that now!
15 0f us went from. Wandsworth to this one for a punch up, met about 10 utd fans in a pub by mistake, still got the headache from many pints together, good bunch of lads, ex northstand
I was right behind the goal when we scored it was madness feet didn't touch the ground 😉😊.
I was sat just above you. Despair.
I hated playing Chelsea at OT in the 80's because we normally got beat. Strange how the reverse happened at the bridge. We normally got a win there. And the second half of this season wasn't good, lots of injuries and sparky Hughes knew he was off to Barcelona.
Very true. United had a good record against Liverpool in the 80's as well, I seem to recall.
Forgot how good a finisher Kerry Dixon was ............ Got to love old pitches :)
Went up there on the Chelsea Special, was stood low just to the left of the goal. Great day. Amazingly, this is the first time I've seen the footage from this game, even though this has been on YT for 14 years!
Such happy memories.
Thank you for sharing.
Kerry Dixon what a Legend!
Strachan was a very good player, doesn't get a mention nowadays
Jesper Olson also a very skillful player
5/09/1984 1-1 draw with Micky Thomas scoring the previous season is no myth about Chelsea charging into the Stretford End after final whistle - those fleeing that end did not do so due to "crowd congestion or police horses!" watched it from the scoreboard end and met the infiltrators afterwards. The looks on the faces of our aggressors in the seats behind us had to be seen to be believed!
Yeah i was there too..we were singing wheres your famous stretford end to the utd lads in the paddock to the right of us..they looked gutted lol
Yeah the paddock singing your gonna get your fking heads kicked in ,then the chaos in the Stratford end and us pointing and laughing.
SPEEDIE, DIXON, LEGENDS!!!
What an effort by Speedie!
and now Chelsea is the biggest club in London
Mark Sesum plus Stamford Bridge is a crap stadia now.
@Tuff Gong not biggest! The best
@Tuff Gong I'd rather drive a Porsche than a ford transit tipper.
I love Chelsea, we were always a top ten side even before abrmovich.
@ we are the fourth most successful club in england, and we are continuing that succession. And for you to have the time to search and write all that just for me i have to say LMAO and get a life.
@@CYFL79 Your statement here has nothing to do with your BS statement before, of, "we were always a top ten side even before abrmovich (sic)".
Well done, you got a Russian's money to turn yourselves from also-rans, with one title in 100 years, to the "fourth most successful club in england (sic)". Doesn't change the fact that you were as inconsistent and only slightly more relevant than Man City before you got your unearned millions.
You keep living in a Blue fantasy, and I'll keep calling out bullshit.
@ its ok you dont have to be jealous, and its not a fantasy, we actually are the fourth most successful club in england (check the trophies). Now please dont cry, dont be salty and have a good day ( :
@r que Oh, so you're a fucking expert on stadium capacity's now.? Chelsea had the WHOLE end of the stadium, terrace and seats for the cup game in 87/88.. There were also 10,000 there for the 97/98 cup match when it was all-seater. We've had this before. You seem to know your stuff on certain subjects. Where you let yourself down is making comments about events and situations you weren't even present at. I don't deem to blather on about Spurs fans 'exploits' elsewhere whether they be real, embellished or imagined because 1. If it didn't also involve my club, then I wasn't present and 2, I don't give a rats arse about them unless it involves us too. I've given you gentle reminders before. Stick to what you know and you wont keep mugging yourself off.
@r que Chelsea had all the seats behind at the Scoreboard End of the stadium too. As it was a cup game, they were entitled to 25% of the stadiums entire seating capacity. So up to 7,000 above the terrace as well. There's a lot of downsizing of stand capacity's going on to try and lessen the amount filling them. So you're saying the whole Park Lane end only held 8,000 in total max? That's little more than the poxy current stand they built at the Shed End at SB. And that's all seated !! I don't think so. The Paxton was near enough identical so that would make 16,000 behind the goals on that basis. The West Stand at WHL looked a decent size but that was because it had double decker executive boxes. It actually only held 6,500. So we're up to 22,500. WHL could hold 48,000 back then so is the suggestion that 25,500 were therefore on the Worcester Ave side? I don't think so, again. Chelsea have filled the entire Park Lane a number of times from 1978 onwards. And the videos are out there to prove it. There were no Spurs in those seats as it would have been kicking off non-stop. In 87/88, we had so many there, it was almost a Hillsborough situation. The terrace was so packed, the crush barrier nearest the front of our pen was buckled over. Plod shat themselves when fans climbed the fence to escape. The cunts wouldn't open the corner pen (below that end of The Shelf) until half-time. It's also full for the League Cup replay in 90/91. Blimey, there's was even a big following there over the two days of the Makita Cup in 93/94.
chelseas 2nd goal was masterful. counter attacking at its very best. Chelsea had a pretty good record at old trafford in the late 70s and 80s.
Don't forget the 4-0 in the 60s either.
The boys. Speedie and Dixon. Didn’t get on, but who cares when you play like that together, add Pat Nevin, happy Chelsea supporter :) .
Jairzinho/Tostao/Pele - Nevin/Dixon/Speedie best ever Chelsea attack.
You're right about this occasion but we did fill the entire Scoreboard End, seats and terraces in the FA Cup in '88. Again when it was all seated in '98. Compare this away turnout for a midweek game compared to Spurs the same year and West Ham the following season (both weekend matches and on TH-cam). No contest.
@r que I'm not interested in complexes (you seem to have a bad case of obsession with all things Chelsea) but facts. Fwiw Chelsea stormed into the Stretford End in 1984, similar to West Ham in The Shed a few weeks later. My post above is simply a reply, putting someone straight on the relative away followings of certain clubs. Don't get your panties in a bunch over it.
@r que Yes, All good, thanks and hope you are well too. I sincerely hope you're not judging away followings by the crowd noise of forty year old films? Don't worry, there are Chelsea there alright and why wouldn't there be? We'd brought probably the first big mob up from London to Old Trafford in 1977. It had been billed as a face off between two firms that had bans imposed. Mayhem on both Warwick and Chester Rds. Man City's top boy readily admitted Chelsea took their manor over, including the pubs in 83/84. After Dennis Howell. the Home Secretary imposed the away ban, matches were made 'all-ticket'. Here's us at Wolves in 76/77 There were no Chelsea fans officially there. Instead there was constant scrapping on the South Bank.

And here we are at Forest earlier in that season, having taken over their Trent End.

This is Chelsea heading up from Manors Station and through Newcastle city centre in 81/82. I'm in there somewhere.

@r que Haha. They would. They are partly right but imagine that? Having to give up your home end without resistance.
These days we never lost at Old Trafford. It was amazing as we wasn't really that good but when we played there it brought the best best out of us.
Were not realy that good
Go back to school
Brilliant performance and night 2 great goals by Dixon what a following
Got to say, the way Hughes went down for that penalty.... If that had happened in the Premier League era, there would be a furore about how diving has ruined modern football.
Man United Liverpool Chelsea were the only 3 Clubs that had massive away support in the days of terracing
.....CAREFREE
Newcastle
@@paulclark5440Geordies had a fair away support but not comparable to chelsea. They were an army and mental with it
12 thousand chelsea travelled to old trafford in 1988 for the fa cup, i was a regular in the 80s. use to be 6 thousand regulars
I was at this game we lost 2 -0 pat nevin was a sub with mickey hazard
Dont talk rubbish there was no where near 12000, lucky to have a 1000. No London clubs used to bring many to OT. Chelsea at the time used to get home crowds of less than 20000, of course when United played at Stamford Bridge your crowd would double
@@HUGHWON stop talking bollocks Chelsea fc had the biggest away following in London FACT. I should know Chelsea since 1968 👌
@@FERNYSDAD So you would remember Chelsea getting home crowds of less than 20000 and in some cases less than 10000. From my experience of going to Old Trafford since the 70s Spurs had the biggest away follewering of the London clubs and they never filled the away end. The only away teams that would fill the away end at OT when it was terraces were City, Leeds and Liverpool, Chelsea never ever brought 12000 to OT, that is laughable
@@HUGHWON
Took 12k in 88
I was there my utd mate said it was one of the biggest away following
I was there above the goal
Spurs don't make me laugh ?
followd them from 81-95 i was there when we were shit, but great times
CHELSEA WEREN'T SHIT THEY JUST LACKED CONSISTENCY. IF THEY BEAT A TOP TEAM THEY WOULD LOSE AGAINST A SMALLER TEAM OR 2 AFTERWARDS. PLUS THEY WERE NO MATCH FOR LIVERPOOL, ARSENAL OR EVERTON IN THE 80'S.
People associate parking the bus with Chelsea, and it looks like being solid is in the Chelsea DNA even with great players. The style of Chelsea teams has never changed.
They were never solid until Mourinho came.
@gunternetzer9621 Exactly. They were known for being a freewheeling, swashbuckling but inconsistent team for decades.
Mourinho accused Alladyce of parking the bus when he was at West Ham.
Chelsea didn't park the bus, they just had an excellent defence and worked brilliantly on the counter.
The only bus-parking happened when Mourinho started losing it and brought Mikel on at 1-0 up (usually to no avail).
Kerry Dixon = Legend :)
Shocking dive by Hughes for the penalty. Fantastic save by Turner. I remember this as a 19 year old back in the day
Chelsea did indeed spend 7 seasons out of 9 in the second division between '75 and '84 but West Ham were also down there for three seasons in the early 80's. I think it should be remembered that they were challenging for the title in this season along with yourselves, Nott'm For and that lot down the East Lancs Rd. We'd also been in contention up until easter but blew it. My point really is sort of backing the earlier posters statement. Back then there wern't many who had a bigger away support
You were third in the away numbers at that time
1/ Man Utd
2/ Liverpool
3/ Chelsea
In the 70's you'd been patchy, big one day, small the next.
Not denying that, I did say elsewhere that I missed the 88 game as I was in the Army then. As for never seen away support like it, well your mate in the stretford end musn't have seen Man Uniteds away following in the 70s early 80s, as that really was second to none. That said Chelsea had the third biggest away following in the country behind us and Liverpool. A lot of home counties support, I remember a Millwall fan saying that Chelsea were the Man United of the south. All the best.
@SamprasFuryisGOAT none Liverpool rule you 2 miles apart from Liverpool
Kerry Dixon. Genius.
On his day better than Messi.
Jogos antigos são mais lindos.
Jogavam com, por mais amor à camisa!
Eu te amo Chelsea!!! 💙🎆
Fair do's mate.We invented mass travelling support really, we used to take more away fans than most home teams in the 70s, particularly in the old second Division. 20,000 plus. I dont know about Chelsea being the best away support, Newcastle brought 15,000 in the 80s when they got promoted, although their support since then is no better than the average team's. Chelsea certainly the best in London. Modern football is shite mate, thats why I support FC UNITED.All the best.
Hi Bert BTW Chelsea took at least 12000 in the FA cup in 1988 my mate was in the strettford end and said he has never seen support like that - we had the upper seats and lower paddock and i was above the goal -lost 2-0 -was at this night game and we had about 4000 but i couldn't tell cheers
Kerry Dixon the hero 💙
Great vid
Loved it when pitches looked like this Never stopped the cream from rising to the top
I was at this game old school Chelsea fan
Chelsea fans were the pioneers of following your team away. Chelsea did others followed.
What red army in the 70s you mug took away what you had at home in that shithole you still play at now pride of London my arse west ham have better fan base then you lot
Remember this well back when the mancs were mancs
David Speedie was a good player but Dalgliesh lost it when he bought him to replace Beardsley at Liverpool. What was he thinking?
Was this the game Tony Godden saved 2 penaltys? Might have been year after this.Sad about Godden he wanted to stay but was told he was being sold. Batesy wanted him gone, manager wanted him to stay. He loved chelsea and supported them since being a child. It was his biggest regret leaving the bridge.
When Chelsea had a team of British people.
Wouldn't know mate, can't recall the away teams attendance ever being printed in the programmes, long time ago.Liverpool brought 5000 nearly every game in the league early to mid 80s.4000 fans wouldnt have taken them round the corner into United Road, it wouldnt have needed to as it wouldn't have been full. There are about 4-4500 chelsea fans behind the goal, certainly not 2000. All the best.
Great away support even then
I was there in 86 great win
Big doug roughie, love him ,patsy nevin, love him, david speedie ,love him, kerry dixon , love him Another player to mention micky droy love him, all these players from my past, love them alllll ktbffh
Wel I must have missed the 88 game, which was possible as I was in the Army in those days. I would say it was more of a novelty for Chelsea fans back in the day to travel to Old trafford and the likes as they were in the second Div a lot. West Ham, used to be a pretty steady Div 1 team and Millwall in the cup was a massive day out for them. Ive no affinity or favourites from the 3 clubs I mention, just how I saw it.
Not going to get into the silly argument about who had the best or most away fans, but what is without doubt is that Chelsea could turn out in force for certain away games when word spread, Man City, Middlesbrough, Wolves amongst others. Every season one or two games were chosen for a show of force, even a night match away in some cases, not easy even from London.
the pitch was better then aswell made for a good game, old trafford is one huge hideous boring money grabbing monster now very sad united rd was £2.00 back then,
Same at Anfield.Stopped going in 94'... just not the same anymore.
I was there. Great night.
Pure entertainment from this chelsea team.
No doubt about Chelsea having a big away following, I acknowledged that. I was responding to earlier posters that said Chelsea had the whole end in this match (They never) and had an away support in the 80s "Second to none"(They never) WestHam seemed to be at Old Trafford every year early 80's, that was my point, in the cup they brought thousands and were very vocal, more so than Chelsea, but one time they brought 200 in the seats and never heard a peep. My observation thats all.
The scoreboard End held 13000. Liverpool nearly filled it in the League cup in the late 80s, They didn't sell all their seats, because it was a Mickey Mouse cup! lol
yeh , the jocks could bring some numbers down when they wanted to in the 70's. Celtic , i've been told ,brought about 20k + when they played us in a Euro cup semi at Elland Road .Celtic where everywhere ,the ground , outside the ground . city centre ,pubs , u name it . Think people were a bit wary of the jocks in them days ,well Rangers and Celtic, as pissed up loons who were nutters
Proper football.
was this the year when chelsea took the stretford end ?
Dont think so you cockney mug whete you been in a coma and woke up to tell a story
Hi Bert sorry I ment OT away support - no doubts Man u have amazin support I remember some good fun at Kilburn high rd where I lived in 1994.
football aint what it was tho as tourists have ruined it and millionaires
And like you said, only two teams in Scotland really.
I see it
Dixon - Sniff - Goal!
Back when we had another Hazard playing for us ... Micky Hazard. Back when our home crowd matched Man United's home crowd for size too.
Kerry Dixon was superb wasn't he?.. fucking hell,Speedie too!
Utd we’re averaging 45 Chelsea 24.000
Man United had an Away support second to none and have for decades, especially in the 70s/80s and if well you know it. That said only two teams from London brought better support to Old trafford in the 80s than Chelsea, that was West Ham who brought 6000 and Milwall who brought 15000, both fa cup matches granted. West ham were shit in the league and brought about 200 once (After the famous BBC ICF Documentary) But the poorest in general were Arsenal.
@arsenal0782 arsenal first filled scoreboard jan 87 when rocky got sent off they wete top sn again 89 on a sunday. before that they were poor but most teams were bar a few
West Ham had 6-7K up OT FA Cup 85.. think the low turn out was on a sunday lunchtime few wks after.. had about 500 max up there ..
Why were the pitches so awful back then.
Cos they were all grass
chelsea away support once again proving the jealous haters wrong once again. 1000s over land n sea we r the famous cfc.
Lol shut up
@@CoolDude246-S deal with truth pal. In 80s chelsea had 3rd best away following in the uk. Even in division 2. So google it and then you can shut up too cant you.
The Swamp.............looking like a swamp
have to agree with you there, man u support in 70`s was phenomenal even at london games. l followed the hammers thru 70`s,80`s and got disillussioned with the game mid 90`s. l remember the cup game in 85 at OT, chelsea had best away support in 80`s from london, the taking of the stretford end was a myth created by `headhunters` book by one of chelseas `finest`....l heard from mancs about G Rangers.(no shame there).. any truth in Everton late 60`s in stretford end?
I knew a G. Rangers fan in late 1970's who was there when a few 'gers fans were in the Stretford End with hatchets to chop down an Irish flag the mancs were flying - big bond between Celtic and Manure, which methinks helped lead to the real animosity between Chelsea and Utd fans from then up to present day
Kerry dixon 🎶
When football WAS football!
No mate, you filled three quarters of the terrace at the scoreboard end. The seats above have always been Man United fans. That whole end held nearly 15000, Liverpool and Millwall had the whole end in cup games for instance . Chelsea had roughly 4500 fans here.So you know you wasn't there and that is a fact. So why make that comment.
BertAtkin
I was there and it was Utd behind us ... We had 4-5000 that night
Fantastic match.9>1.Amen.
@cfcsteve86 Those days I meant
The season Utd finished 4th in a 2 horse race
Nope, it never happened in any year mate.The Chelsea fans are in the away end, which is the Scoreboard end. No one has ever took the Stretford end, despite it being full of Kids and thats probably why. The only club to ever take Man United at OT, were Glasgow Rangers and that was in a friendly in the early 70s, when half of Scotland descended on OT.
15 mins before game ended we left 200 handed an went round to Stretford end ...went in an thay run off...old bill got us out an we waited outside for them to come out an done them again ...
CRUZEIRO SEMPRE 💙💙💙💙💙
I was there...8000 REAL PROPER CHELSEA Fans...not todays PLASTIC FANS
I am sure i saw a blade of grass
same happened bobby moore testimonial v celtic 1970,according to my old man and his pals, (l was 9 and it was skool nite)... thousands of pissed up celtic took over upton park, said they were still hanging round drunk days after!... man utd were the only other club to do that in the well documented title win at U.P may 67 (1-6 to man u)..l started going proper with mates 72-73, hordes of boot boys, donkey jackets, silk scarves, scruffy as fuck,charging about and old bill with a whistle!! magic.
Gramado é um potreiro
I was there
NICHOLA STURGEON PLAY FOR MAN UTD ???
kerry dixon buried man utd years ago king kerry away fans fanatics cfc
Not true Mate, there was always a Union flag on the Tunnel in the Stretford end and we used to take Union flags on away days. I agree United have never had a Loyalist following though.
When we were shit
The scoreboard end held 5,000 away fans when full. The support never went right round into United road,there was always segregation. If the scoreboard end was full, then the United road corner would be put back a pen or two, like when Liverpool came and Newcastle came up from div 2
Absolutely brilliant times supporting Chelsea in those days. Was at Old Trafford that night Dixon, Speedie combination was fantastic.
super kerry dixon!
hazard on chelsea then 2:25
king kerry when he went clear nobody caught him,wonder how many he'd score with hazard/mata/oscar with him????
dodgy utd peno even then they dived and cheated..
Yeah, youve got to remember, there are loads of Scots living in England and it is a big day out for them.
Yeah its a big day out for them and is usually more of a Scotland v England thing.
Ive never heard of anyone in the Stretford end mate. really other than sunderland, who got battered early 80s, but was mainly a scalfers/kids end in my day. Chelsea turned up in the late 70s at about 2 pm and chased all the Dads and lads about. on the forecourt, but were soon rounded up as were leeds who did the same. Weve been battered all over the country, but have battered everyone else as well,Rangers had half the ground and they were all pissed up grown men at the time , so?
own goal lolllllllllll ha ha great result for us CHELSEA FC SUTTON UTD FC
Owned by A Russian and half of the World's nationals playing for them. British as Fuck! lol
