A mere youngster, I was 21 by then.

Special night and if it was today then Sky would have been telling us we'd gone top of the league. And the special night got a special goal.

Heady days indeed. That was a very strong Chelsea team. A stunning goal from Frank Casper. 50 years ago and recall it like it was yesterday.

Frank was in unbelievable form at that time

I remember a brass band playing 'Welcome Home' before kick off and in my mind's eye can still Frank's shot hitting the net at the CFS end where I was sitting. What memories.
