Cork in the 1980's

[Herbert]

They played Celtic at Bishopstown AND Musgrave Park over the space of a couple of years
Played Chelsea at Bishopstown and a few of the Chelsea players went out in the city that night and were involved in a horrific car accident. Le Saux and Eddie Newton were 2 of those involved.

I do remember the Chelsea game but I must not have been at that celtic game at bishopstown . Just the one at musgrave Park and later on played them again at turner's Cross.

Couldn't have a good Saturday night without ending up there after a rake of pints and getting one. Mind you I ended up wearing as much as I'd eat.

Sloppy b..t..d!

Plenty going on during Cork 800 in 1985. Good vibe around the city.

That was at Bishopstown I think. Celtic were less than impressed with the fact that they were playing on a building site.

Thought that was down in Musgrave Park alright though for some reason I thought it was a 1-0 defeat for Celtic - Gerry McCabe (the bull - formerly of hamilton accies I think) featured for CCFC and either set up or scored the goal.

I remember going to Chelsea game bt I thought it was TC ? Maybe that was a different game and can’t remember anything about that accident. I’m definitely losing memory . I remember the Chelsea game and think Elliot centre half was Chelsea captain as only thing I remember from game was he going ballistic after a bad tackle on a Chelsea player but it was definitely TC not sure what year .

Definitly Played them in bishopstown as I remember the Chelsea fans were a bit mouthy . I don't remember them out in the cross but it's possible as I went off going to friendlies for a few years.

See previous page for video highlights of the wonderfully gerry mccabe setting up second goal.

Paul Elliot was Chelsea captain from 91/94 (just googled it ) so I’m away ahead of time . They definitely played TC but early 90s as I was at it .
