.....anyone else remember this demolition at the hands of Ruud Gullit?

This was the game when Matthew Harding came down and got MLT to sign an autograph and then held it aloft to the Chelsea fans pretending he had signed a contract - I think....

Nice memory?

 

Great hit, but not a highlight as far as I am concerned.

[Bucks Saint]

Shocking defending. Would never do that now. Probably

Gullit was a class player back in the day!

I always like to recall the game at Stamford Bridge in 1967.... when we won 6-2... and Ron Davies scored FOUR.

 

-´(yes I know it was before some of you were born, but it's still a nice memory........)

Didn't he do the same at the Dell that season?

[The Kraken]

I was there for that one. My lasting memory of the day is their 3rd goal, where Franny just turned around and ran away from Gullit instead of shutting him down.

Yes he did, but it was Aston Villa actually, and I was there to see it. Result was 6-2. Villa were already down and out for the count, but they didn't lie down and die, either.

Can't recall a more convincing individual performance before - or since. Very nice for me... as the last 3 goals were all scored at the Milton end and I saw them perfectly.

 

Davies' goals were a bit of everything, and included a penalty, but some nice finishes -all with his feet - including a good solo effort beating 4 defenders which he finished from a close angle,

and he'd even hit the woodwork earlier on .......and had a " good " goal ruled out for offside...should have been FIVE. Great game.

Sorry David, but I think you will find Ron's 2nd half goals, plus the last minute disallowed (incorrectly as Paine pulled the ball back from the by-line) were scored at the Archers. He scored his first (our 2nd) from 20 yards at the Milton and I dont remember him ever doing that again.

 

We even went 1-0 down.

More recently the game at the Dell where we went 2-0 up. They came back to 2-2 and the Chelsea fans started signing "2-0 and you f**ked it up" - only for Beattie to fire in a long range free-kick just before the end......cue chants of "2-2 and you f**ked it up"

 

Oh - and the 4-2 win at Stamford Bridge on New Years Day.

well one of us obviously had " a bit of brain fade on this one", . ...but I still think I was right - especially the solo run ...and the later disallowed goal seemed so memorable.

 

For me it was always one match that I thought I remember best, still .......we'll have to agree to disagree on that one, then ..

 

Was still a good result, though.... eh ?
