The Le Coq Sportif 1983-85 Chelsea home shirt reminds me of golden age at Blues

The Le Coq Sportif shirts remind me of a golden age at Chelsea.

We won the Division Two title in 1983-84 and then finished sixth in our first season in the top flight.

John Neal made some great signings, it was a brilliant team and I was starting to make a name for myself, scoring a few goals and playing my part.

I got a hat-trick in a 6-1 win against Swansea in this shirt. I loved the yellow away shirt too.

It gives me fond memories of the 1985 League Cup quarter-final replay in the mud at Sheffield Wednesday.

We were 3-0 down when I came on at half-time. I scored the first inside 11 seconds and the fourth to put us 4-3 up.

I was sure it was the winner then they equalised in the last minute. But we won the second replay back at Stamford Bridge.
