When Eddie Niedzwiecki was forced into early retirement due to injury at the age of 28, Chelsea gathered around and showed their support by holding a benefit match on Tuesday 16 May 1989.
A team of players drawn up from the Division 2 champions of 1983-84 played members of the current Chelsea team at Stamford Bridge, who had just won the Division 2 title themselves.
