On this day...

On this day, 8 years ago, Alex did this...


Maybe a thread to post interesting goals "on this day X years ago" going forward. Maybe nobody will be bothered and it'll just be this post.

That particular side wasn't, but most of those boys in their prime were excellent yeah.

Take your filthy lies out of this feel-good thread!

On a serious note, what a free kick, but who the hell is/was Alex ?

Was a pretty decent CB. Came to Chelsea in about 2004 but couldn't get work permit so they just loaned him to PSV for a few years and he did well in CL for them.

Then came to Chelsea in 2007 although him and Ben Haim were just back ups to Terry and Carvalho. Think he then went to PSG. Some caps for Brazil aswell.

Just a few days too late for Balotelli’s “Why always me?” goal

Great strike in the OP though.

Keano knows all about this match

Rashford buries Chelsea. Again!

On this day 25 years ago, Chelsea signed my favourite player ever...

 

[Eckers99]

On this day 25 years ago, Chelsea signed my favourite player ever...

What a player. Among the best foreign players to come to England.

 

[Offside]

That Chelsea side was great

Turned to shite that season.

 

[Fridge chutney]

I don't know why watching Alex makes me feel old... It wasn't even that long ago.

One this day three years ago, what was Zouma reacting to?

 

[Red Royal]

One this day three years ago, what was Zouma reacting to?

Matic's screamer... was it only 3 years ago?

 

[duffer]

I really didn't mean this to be a Chelsea highlights thread but...

On this day 8 years ago:

 

[Dumbstar]

On this day 25 years ago, Chelsea signed my favourite player ever...

All our favourite player 25 years ago.

 

[SilentWitness]

Forgot to post this one for you lads on Wednesday. Enjoy.

 

[Xaviesta]

April 22 marked 6 years to the day since Manchester United sacked 'The Chosen One'.

 

[GuybrushThreepwood]

On this day, Kanu scored this goal against Middlesbrough in 1999



And Rooney scored this goal against Newcastle in 2005:

 

[RobinLFC]

A day too late, but Dirk Kuyt brought the title to Rotterdam 3 years ago with a hattrick against Heracles. Great scenes.

@KirkDuyt what a player

 

[KirkDuyt]

Hahaha, God I was happy we decided that 1 quickly. The game before we completely bottled it against our satellite club Excelsior, losing 3-0. We needed to win this one to get the title.

Shame it was Kuyt though, sanctimonious prick.

8 years ago today. What a night! Still can't believe it happened.

 

[TrustInOle]

Forgot to post this one for you lads on Wednesday. Enjoy.

My word, this game still hurts

 

[RobinLFC]

Nice goal, hadn't seen that one before.

 

[Sunny Jim]

2006

I loved that shirt and that team

We lost the title that day. Who knows, had we won the title that year and Fergie had stepped down maybe we would have been able to get a better coach. Pep for instance.

16 years ago today. That make me feel old.

 

[Ludens the Red]

A year ago today we fecked city...and it was the last time we had full stadiums in the league.
A year on still no fans but still bitch slapping city.

 

[Zen86]

That Ronaldinho dink is always top of my mind when I think about outrageous goals.

 

[TheMagicFoolBus]

That Ronaldinho dink is always top of my mind when I think about outrageous goals.

I will go to my grave not understanding how he managed that. One of those goals that when it's scored against you all you can do is put your hands up.

 

[Lay]

Chelsea really ripped them apart the first 20 mins

 

[Siorac]

16 years ago today. That make me feel old.

Possibly the greatest game of football I've ever seen. It was exhausting just to watch it.
