Sandy Brown scores for us.
However, he is hidden in the picture and I'm not sure of the ball! Perhaps it is bulging the top of the net (top left of the goal)?

Fascinating stuff as usual MFF, why did Chelsea pay to tease their keeper?
It was an effort to attract more supporters for their matches - don't forget that Chelsea had never kicked a ball in anger before they joined the Second Division, so the owners were looking for any way possible to increase their gates and Foulke was a great crowd-puller.
Loving the 2-3-5 formation.The programme
Probably more accurately described a a 3-2-2-3 formation, although it is also referred to a a "Christmas Tree" formation.
we would have won by much more, but it was Defoes fault for having a stinker - due to his lack of movement and shoot on sight policySandy Brown scores for us.

And our lads
Yeah, done that before. Great site if you like your history
Cheers. Love anecdotes like that.
One of Sheff Utd's goals was controversial as most people, except the ref and Sheff Utd, thought the ball had not crossed the line. The goal line technology of the day shows we were robbed.
Its a geek off.

Yep. My money's on Scottie Parker
I read somewhere that the ball boys used to stand directly behind the goal to Foulke's left and right, in an attempt to make the goal seem even smaller to the opposition, given that he covered most of the area with his bulk, this was supposed to intimidate any attempt at an attack by the opposing team, and as MFF has already said, it was a crowd pleaser, an early example of attracting support. Love the innocence of it all.
Ah right - and I never knew that about Chelsea going straight into the league
He played 35 times for Chelsea, but continued to gain weight. This is what he looked like in his Chelsea days.
Is he Neville Southall's great grandad !He played 35 times for Chelsea, but continued to gain weight. This is what he looked like in his Chelsea days.
