Sat on the white wall for this,that went around the pitch,happy days..
They had some great players in those days and yes they bloody mullered us that day especially in that first half.I can remember going to the Chelsea game, they completely outclassed us that day.
I was at that Chelsea game which ended up with a 4-1 defeat. Just 3 weeks before City also lost 4-1 at home to West Ham. The peculiar thing is that the attendance for both games was identical and this was pre-Swales!
Remember that very clearly, Chelsea fans used to sing Osgood is Good, the Kippax replied Osgood No Good!Great footage and how strange seeing the match cameras opposite where we mainly remember them. Then to see Osgood is giving his two fingered salute to those in The Kippax that have probably been giving him dog's abuse for most of the match!
Great memory.. Yeah, that was some night, seeing the three World Cup winners as West Ham spanked us 4-1, our first home defeat in more than a year (we were unbeaten at Maine Road during the previous promotion season).. I remember West Ham flooding all over us, Byrne, Sissons, Peters and Hurst pulling the defence all over the place.. but most impressive of all was Bobby Moore who just ran the game, effortlessly.. he cruised around the pitch like some God come down from Heaven.. best defender I’ve ever seen and that includes Baresi and Maldini..I was at that Chelsea game which ended up with a 4-1 defeat. Just 3 weeks before City also lost 4-1 at home to West Ham. The peculiar thing is that the attendance for both games was identical and this was pre-Swales!

To be fair he was pretty good!
