...thinking this might be the 1970 Charity Shield game at Stamford Bridge. We won the game 2-1 and both our scorers (Whittle and Kendal are visible in this picture).

Hahaha yes, although the offside rule meant you needed 3 defenders including goalkeeper between you and the goal.

That's correct Eggs. I liked our away kit that day too, a real classic that.

v Forrest in 1970/71 season, a game we lost 3-2. Mick Lyons and Billy Kenny made their League Debuts for us

when did the rule change to the current one?...and was 'you cannot be offside in your own half' applicable back then?

The rule (3 defenders including goal keeper) came into force in 1866, prior to that you were offside if you were ahead of the ball.

It was in 1907 that the rule relating to being offside only in the opponents half came into play.

Must have played havoc with your goal hanging when the new law came in in 1907 esklol
