Chelsea v Orient - Division Two - 20/12/1980

The O's win, AGAIN, at Stamford Bridge with Joe Mayo netting the winner.
This victory sent the Orient into 5th position in the 2nd tier of English football, which is a position we havent held since!!!!

Ah the good old days of local players, long hair, short shorts, muddy pitches, standing on the terraces and Os in their "red braces" kit!

A typically dismal Chelsea performance far too common in that era. But I still spent far too much time and money following them around the country!

[@Ruda-n4h]

I spent too much money and time as well! This was the season they were well placed for promotion but it all started to collapse the week before this game when they lost 2-0 away to Grimsby and didn't score in the last 8 games!

State 0f the pitch 😂

I'd forgotten about this match. Interesting that if we played Chelsea now we would take far more fans to Stamford Bridge than we did then. An allocation of 9,000 for a Cup tie would easily sell out. Up the O's!

Great Orient kit.
