Chelsea v Moscow Dynamo

This game was played in November 1945 when I was 13 years old. I wemt to the game with
my friend John Brown. Both of us went sick and did not go to school.
We still go by London Transport to all Chelsea games and everything is the same. We went on
the Piccadilly Line from Rayners Lane to Earls Court when we changed to the District Line
to Walham Green which is now called Fulham Broadway.This journey still only tahes 45 minutes
the same as today.

This game was fantastic . When we got to Stamford Bridge the whole of London seemed to be there.Having got in the ground people were everyway. Some were even on top of the East
Stand . When the gates were closed way before the kick off time people got in the ground via
the Flats next to Slamford Bridge.It is estimated the crowd inside the ground was in the region
of 1oo,ooo. Although the official attendance was 74,496.

Getting back to the game which was a 3-3 draw.

This game will stay in my mind all my life, and people still ask me about the game which was
played 62 years ago.
