The game was nearing half-time when the Portsmouth centre-half (in those days you had two full-backs, three half-backs, two wingers and three forwards), Jimmy Dickinson put through his own goal.
Two minutes into the second half the Chelsea centre-half, John Mortimore, did exactly the same!! As the players made their way back to the centre circle for the restart Jimmy Dickinson ran the length of the pitch and shook hands with John Mortimore!! I wonder if that would happen today?
The match itself ended 7-4, with a certain Jimmy Greaves scoring four. His first hat-trick for Chelsea. A game to remember.
