john scott Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 In Benidorm now. Took a bus trip up the road to Calpe and spotted a couple getting off the bus. Noticed the bloke had a Mechelen sweatshirt on so I got talking to him. Turns out he was their physio for 34 years, now retired. His face lit up when I mentioned saints. "Ah St Mirren". You could see the memories flooding back as he started to reminisce. He told me many of his mates regard their Paisley trip as their best ever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure he didn't say, "Only trip"? 🙄 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastlandssaint Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Stamford bridge and that`s how it looked when I visited it, all those years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmac Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 (edited) The only time I have been in Stamford Bridge was in Sept 1978 when I was on a work trip to London. The match was Chelsea v New York Cosmos. http://thechels.info/wiki/Chelsea_1-1_New_York_Cosmos_(1978-79_Friendlies) New York had some decent players. Yashin , Beckenbauer and Cruyff!! Carlos Alberto was unfit to play for them unfortunately. However, the thing that I remember most was that the match was sponsored by Brut aftershave. On the way in we were all handed a little sachet with one of those impregnated wipes. I guess most people opened them at half time and the smell was overpowering.

antrin Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 (edited) I stayed in Earls Court for a year. …even from there, I was a regular at Arsenal, but… ….just down the road was Charlie Cooke… great to watch… in full flow… I also was a spectator at the monstrous invasion of a couple of hundred bigots when Chelsea beat the real Rangers in a meaningless friendly… Edited January 25 by antrin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually stayed in hotels around Kensington High St and used to go to see Arsenal midweek as it was easy to get to Highbury from there on the Underground. I once saw Tony Fitz playing there for Bristol City. Edited January 25 by ianmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
