Told by Jason Marriner
In his own words · @marrinerj8
They say we've got no history. This is 1982: Second Division, no money, no glory, and we were still there every week.
I'm just Chelsea, mate.
And all them that say we ain't got no history, right? I actually say the 80s was the best time. I know we've all got our own years and we all believe it's the best time. Mine was the 80s. The fashion, the music, the culture, everything.
Going to Rotherham away, losing six-nil, and then you would be going to Carlisle the following week. These were just fantastic times.
And Chelsea, we had lots of northern Chelsea as well, to be honest with you, which was quite mad.
Listen, of course, the more successful we are, you get a new breed of supporters, and I can't stand the new breed of supporters. I can't stand the poxy lion badge that they've got. I'm just Chelsea, mate.
Listen, 4-4-2, all this technical coaches and this and that. Times have changed, I'm afraid. They've changed for the better? Not in my eyes. Not in my eyes. I was quite happy where I was.
