RIP Bobby Tambling

[Boyne]

Had a message this morning from one of my mates. He was at Highbury in 1964 when we won 4-2 and Bobby scored all four goals. A great memory of a great player.

Bobby Tambling gives us the lead against Tottenham Hotspur in the F.A. Cup 3rd Round Replay on 8th January 1964.

A massive crowd of 70,123 is at The Bridge. Bygone Chelsea on Twitter.

Not sure about the new tattoo Val, seems over the top.

I thought it was make up in the style of Robert Smith of The Cure.

Come on boys, clearly I've been inspired by Garnacho's back tattoo.
