Smallman1 It was good Dave, it meant that I could see us when we were average which made the last 10 years of non stop trophy winning that much better.
Hope that helps!
Chelsea were not really ‘average’ 26 years ago. In 1996-97, they ended 6th and won the FA Cup with a team that included Roberto Di Matteo, Gianfranco Zola, Frank Lebeouf, Gianluca Vialli (ageing, but still made 34 appearances and scored 11 goals) and Dan Petrescu (95 caps for Romania).
The following season they were very much in the title race up until game 26 of 38, when they slumped from 2nd to 4th, where they would end. Oh, and they won the European Cup Winners’ Cup.
More fibs, Smallman?
