No. Second of the consecutive games against Chelsea that took place on the first day of the season, two games / 16 months later.

That was the year before.

In this one there were Chelsea fans wearing colours all over the place, gave it loads when they scored. Funny AF when we won, although I did get followed out of the ground by four of them (was with my now wife), which was nice.

It wasn’t. Year before was 3-2 when Dublin got a hat-trick. Think it was 2 years before.

Ah, 2 seasons before, but maybe the previous year. So 2nd half of the 96/97 season. Then we had 2 seasons in a row where Chelsea at home was the first game of the season. This thread was the second one of those. The first one, Frank Sinclair scored and pulled his shorts down to celebrate, which I always thought was one of the stranger celebrations I’d seen!

Yep! Only gold top for me! But I remember the day well. It was a sunny Thursday morning. I'd ran out of milk. I just caught a glimpse of the milkman rumbling along the road towards our house. I dashed out and said "2 pints of gold top please, Ernie!" He said he'd just run out , but he'd supply me with 2 pints of silver top instead. I said "Make it 3 pints, Ernie! I feel like an extra helping of Weetabix!" Ah! The memories! What a great start to that morning!

Gold top from Jersey's ultra creamy .
