I'm a millennial so was never blessed with seeing 70's football live, but I just love it. This is real football. The players kicking the shit out of each other on the field, with occasional punches being thrown now and then. It may have been dirty and gritty, but diving and efforts to fool the referee were rare. No concerted effort was made to get opponents sent off and at the end of the game they shake hands and get along. You could tell they respected eachother. That's all gone now, and it's a rot that goes all the way to the top. Messi and his countrymen vs. Holland in the World Cup is a prime example of this. Cheating is expected and widely understood as a part of the game. I wish we could go back to the old days.

Both goalkeepers in the replay went on to become postmen on remote Scottish islands (Peter Bonetti - Chelsea - Mull, David Harvey - Leeds - Sanday, Orkney). Gary Sprake (Leeds goalkeeper in the first game) had a very bad back injury which required many years of treatment and would have ruled him ineligible had he applied to the GPO for a job after his playing career had finished.

And after a few minutes of debate with the usual suspects being suggested, a craggy old hand entered the office and was asked for his opinion. He paused briefly and than said in a great East Belfast brogue "Easy. 1970 cup final replay. Fucken bloodbath" and left the scene. a few seconds of silence and then we all fell apart laughing.

Tomorrow nights match with Leeds Utd in the FA Cup 5th round 28/2/24 brought me here . I remember being the only Chelsea supporter at Thorpe Middle School in Idle, Bradford W.Yorkshire in 1970. Everybody, but everybody supported Leeds and nobody gave the Blues a chance that April night. I nearly cried when my hero Peter Osgood scored the equaliser with that diving header, and Dave Webb hit the winner. To me that was a greatest Chelsea side ever, even with the recent success of the Abramovich years, to me you cant beat the 1970s squad. Sadly we have lost Johnny Hollins and Tommy Baldwin in the recent months. Only Webb,Harris McCreadie, Dempsey, Cooke and Hinton survive from that great team. If only we could go back to those great days when football was football...... Also wish they would bring back the old Chelsea Badge like at the beginning of the team caption. Hate the present badge .

When I first went to Stamford Bridge in 1958 football was not the money-mad business it is now and was much more laid back. And cheaper. A match would cost you 10p which is equivalent to about £7 today. In those days Chelsea were very erratic, sometimes brilliant, sometimes awful and really a bit of a joke. Not a very serious football club. There was no kudos in being a Chelsea supporter but to me that didn't matter in the slightest. Now, thanks to that nice Mr Abramovich, Chelsea are big.

When Drogba stepped up for that final penalty I just knew he would score. So did the Bayern keeper and probably the whole Bayern team as well.

Its most certainly up there, with the very best , Its my most memorable, But have to say, being a Leeds fan at the time, I was gutted, but only until we finally won the cup in 72.
FA Cup is still my prestige event. League titles are bought, but any team can, potentially, win the cup.
Chelsea Leeds commentator sent me here
RIP Peter Bonnetti and Norman Hunter I can remember watching this match at home on the B&W television I was 9 and had started supporting Chelsea a year or so before and was the only Blue at School ! still support the Blues and now so do my kids.
I never tire of watching the Chelsea legend's of my childhood. Bless you all for the memories. COYB.
I'm a millennial so was never blessed with seeing 70's football live, but I just love it. This is real football. The players kicking the shit out of each other on the field, with occasional punches being thrown now and then. It may have been dirty and gritty, but diving and efforts to fool the referee were rare. No concerted effort was made to get opponents sent off and at the end of the game they shake hands and get along. You could tell they respected eachother. That's all gone now, and it's a rot that goes all the way to the top. Messi and his countrymen vs. Holland in the World Cup is a prime example of this. Cheating is expected and widely understood as a part of the game. I wish we could go back to the old days.
One of the great moments of my childhood was walking into school the next day.
Leeds or Chelsea fan?
My dad says the same
@@5am-yj5fw must be fan of the winning team... who won, then? 🤔😉
I came here after Peter Drury mentioned it in commentary in the Chelsea-Leeds game
Yeah same just now lmao
Here with you 😂
Ditto...
Good day. Thank you so much for the video. Enjoted and supported. Greetings and gratitude from me. Baku city
Hard as nails in those days, no screaming and rolling about like now! And at the end they all shook hands…..days long gone!!
Look at Chelsea in the Stretford - what a beautiful sight! What a beautiful night! tearing up at the memory of this! 💙
Both goalkeepers in the replay went on to become postmen on remote Scottish islands (Peter Bonetti - Chelsea - Mull, David Harvey - Leeds - Sanday, Orkney). Gary Sprake (Leeds goalkeeper in the first game) had a very bad back injury which required many years of treatment and would have ruled him ineligible had he applied to the GPO for a job after his playing career had finished.
This will never been beaten as the best match ever, I have seen my Chelsea win it all now being 62 years old it’s hard to remember as I was young at the time, but for me it will never be as good as this up the blues. .
Ossie's goal is my favourite goal of all time I bunked off school and got the cane for going to this game - so worth it!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
what a pass from charlie cooke..we used to think he played better after a few drinks!! absolute legend...
The season I started to support cfc before we won the cup and coming 3rd in the league . I was 12. Haven't seen this for ages. It was good to see the players swapping shirts. After both teams were kicking each other all over place. Notice that players didn't grab each other in the penalty area. When football was football. Great memories. 👍.😊
Modern day referees have watched this game & it's been said that, if played today, there'd be between 6 & 10 red cards night. It was a brutal game. Belting game of old school footy & was the first time that I'd ever wanted chelsea to win, coz I hated leeds so much.
Years ago in our office, we had a trivia nut who used to get us through boring Friday afternoons by throwing up a debate "Greatest pop song of all time?" "Greatest F1 driver?" And a fair few relating to females that would probably get a fella sacked in the 21st century too LOL. One day his topic was "Greatest Horror movie of all time?" And after a few minutes of debate with the usual suspects being suggested, a craggy old hand entered the office and was asked for his opinion. He paused briefly and than said in a great East Belfast brogue "Easy. 1970 cup final replay. Fucken bloodbath" and left the scene. a few seconds of silence and then we all fell apart laughing. One of those in the moment things that sticks with me over thirty years later.
😄
RIP Peter Bonetti 😭🙏
Watched it on TV ....terrific game...150% commitment and effort....plus a lot of skill !! Of course there were fouls, but it was a different era and both sides gave as good as they got. Wonderful stuff
What a night to remember, 9 years old stayed up late to watch, whole family Chelsea, used to go down to there training ground at Mitcham and watch there training sessions,
One of the most underrated rivalries in English Football
I was there as well. We had a great day out in Manchester and then the game, Brilliant I was just 15 years old. A truly great memory. .
Was at the Wembley Game , Best game I ever went to . Legendary . For both sets of fans . Was 13 @ the time Chels forever
What a goal from Osgood... Have never forgotten
My favourite goal of all time!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Felt like I'd hit my head on the roof of the Stretford at the time! What a night!
Cookie 's pass to The King was just perfect!
Hard to say on reflection who had the best tickets. To be in the Stretford End must have been fantastic but to witness /watch the Stetford End was amazing. When Webbs goal went in you can just spot the three of us doing our best to emulate you lot.....almost suicidal that night...but impossible to suppress!! We were up and to left of the right hand post surrounded by the most pissed off rival fans I've ever experienced.....just brilliant!!
Remember us kids all trying to do Windmill Arms Hutchinson throw ins for weeks after. 50 years ago.. Bloody hell. I could still name just about every player on the pitch - and I don't support either team!
I remember watching this friendly played in such good spirit
I met Charlie cook, I asked him about the final at Wembley, and he said when they walked onto the pitch his feet sunk into the mud due to them having the house of the year show there, smashing guy, signed fa cup final program for me.
Steve Goldsworthy Wonder Which house won.I bet it was a bungalow
Went to both games - outplayed at times, but never outfought!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙Ran Leeds everywhere at Wembley, didn't see any trouble at Old Trafford. We had the Stretford and outnumbered Leeds by miles oop North! The two best days of my life, apart from the days my kids were born 💙!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Here after Chelsea defeated Leeds 3-1
We were in the middle of 2 European Cup semis with Celtic, this replay after taking 3 games to beat United in the semi ( Chelsea got Watford ) and going for the league. No luck , no trophies and dead on our feet by the end of the season.
i RECALL lEEDS WERE GOING FOR 4 TROPHYS OR 3? AND WON NIL. CHELSEA TOOK CARE OF THE DOMESTIC CUPS LEAGUE CUP AND FA CUP.
good point, had never considered that. Revies Leeds were a great team that should’ve won 2 European Cups. They were that good, I can’t understand how they didn’t win more.
I just watched the full match. Yes it was feisty but mostly I noticed how they never stopped running. For stats fans, I made it 4 shots on target for Chelsea, to Leeds' 9.
This was the first football match that I saw. My parents allowed the 6 year old me to watch the game.
Tomorrow nights match with Leeds Utd in the FA Cup 5th round 28/2/24 brought me here . I remember being the only Chelsea supporter at Thorpe Middle School in Idle, Bradford W.Yorkshire in 1970. Everybody, but everybody supported Leeds and nobody gave the Blues a chance that April night. I nearly cried when my hero Peter Osgood scored the equaliser with that diving header, and Dave Webb hit the winner. To me that was a greatest Chelsea side ever, even with the recent success of the Abramovich years, to me you cant beat the 1970s squad. Sadly we have lost Johnny Hollins and Tommy Baldwin in the recent months. Only Webb,Harris McCreadie, Dempsey, Cooke and Hinton survive from that great team. If only we could go back to those great days when football was football...... Also wish they would bring back the old Chelsea Badge like at the beginning of the team caption. Hate the present badge . Anybody Agree with above ????
This is not the original commentary this was added afterwards.
Peter Bonetti, Ron Harris, Charlie Cooke, Peter Osgood, LEGENDS!
The following year we got Arsenal v Liverpool. Arguably the two greatest FA cup finals of all time.
great Game and great goals from osgood and jones wonder wot the modern plebs would think about the assists by cook and clarke be wetting their nickers for sure!!!!
Proper football.
Is the game that jack charlton flattens the guy on the touchline coming bark on the pitch?
Back when a punch bag was part of your training equipment
An odd mixture of things going on here - BBC TV coverage with overdubbed commentary from ITV's Brian Moore. But not Moore's original 1970 commentary. It Sounds as if it was done in the 1990s. Also, there's something not right about the crowd noise. I can only assume that ITV lost (wiped) their original coverage of the entire match.
I thought that about the "Here we go" chant. I don't remember that back in those days.
How can you tell the commentary was recorded in 1990s?
I was 13 years old and persuaded my dad to get tickets ,, he got 2 seats , all I wanted to do was be in the Chelsea end behind the goal ,, so my dad allowed me to change my ticket with a lucky spiv ,,, What a wonderful night ,,, and all the team were British
I was there for both finals, 14 years old, I did two paper rounds to pay for my tickets. One of the greatest nights of my life, tears of joy. Magnificent atmosphere. When the F.A. cup was the greatest event. Proper loyal footballers who would be my heroes for many years.
Not sure two paper rounds would pay for an FA cup final these days.😢
Was Osgood not offùside there for his goal? Video a bit grainy, but he looked offside to me. 😮
They then went on to win the European cup against Real Madrid the next year went to a replay to we had a fantastic team
cup winners' cup, great days
Fantastic
An all-british affair
Jack Charlton has always looked like an old man
Bobby started claiming his pension when he was still in school....
Notice right at the beginning when teams are walking out. A single Blue Balloon. Certainly won it for Chelsea the balloon did. Revie tried to bribe the balloon and failed. Ive seen The Blues numerous times all over Europe but wasnt here this night. Isnt it ironic though that when Chelsea won the first ever FA Cup 1970 i was born!. CMON THE CHELS.
American Chelsea fan here - watching this makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn’t alive and a place I’ve only visited once.
70 years old now, I was in the Stretford and, and yes it's false dubbing, because as the hutch was taking that throw, the whole of us in that end plus around were just chanting Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, check out the original BBC Archive, Great night though, got back to London about 5.30 in the morning,
One day before we play leads let’s win again
Can't beat toilet paper being thrown on the pitch. And the magic sponge 🧽😂
The Beatles had just broken up the week before.
Back when teams spent more time moving toward the opposing goal than away from it.
Back pass was also allowed 😃
I have an official DVD of the Wembley final and the Old Trafford replay. The replay is sadly overdubbed with Moore's reflective commentary and with non original crowd sounds and this all serves to rob what was a fantastic and (at that time) unique occasion of all its original atmosphere. Fun facts; 1970 FA Cup, Osgood scored in every round; 1970 World Cup, Jairzinho scored in every round.
How do you know its not original commentary?
Osgood should have played v Brazil and West Germany
It's well documented that for some reason (copyright? damaged film or video tape stock?) the original commentary and crowd sounds were absent from the DVD. There's also a short excerpt in the tunnel during the half time break, when there's a sudden change in the commentary team voices and the crowd sounds which sound much more realistic and "real time".
The crowd noise is suspicious.
Peter Drury directed me here.
No fouls?
I was sent here by Peter drury
Why wasn't it played at wembley
This is pre-seating old Wembley, so just stands and standing only... How many people were in there?
It's Old Trafford m8.
@@andreroswell1561 sorry... Still interested in crowd size pre-seating, that's a lot of bodies in there. 😀
What about the fouls???
not one member of both teams sang the anthem , only one player tapped the ball in time .
Here because Suggs mentioned it.
2 great teams, 2 great games, Leeds a tad unlucky not to lift the cup.
Brutality carnage ...
back then it was not known that half a century later the world and sports would change because of a pandemic
Never mind back then. Forty nine years later it was not known
The big fraud
Mostly outplayed but fought Leeds to a standstill!
WHO WAS THE CHELSEA PLAYER WHO DEAD LEGGED JACK CHARLTON WHICH STOPPED HIM FROM STOPPING OSGOOD GETTING THE BALL
Who is here in 2020 December?
Super chelsea
When football was football
An absolute robbery. Leeds dominated. Chelsea goalkeeper kept them in it. Congratulations though
Certainly Leeds dominated but it was not a robbery. Leeds were beaten mentally by a Chelsea team that would simply not give up and had a few players such as Osgood and Cooke who were as good as anything Leeds had, if not better. I sensed this as the match went on when I saw it on telly at the age of 27. Leeds were a good side but could not match Chelsea's determination and ended up still looking a good side but their spirit had gone. Now aged 77 and a Chelsea supporter for 63 years. Come on you Blues!
Rosie6857 hello. Thank you for your honest assessment of the game which I believe as I’ve never seen it and am 30 years old. Chelsea certainly showed greater spirit and the goalkeeper was leaping around like a cat. Great to know you’ve supported Chelsea for so many years. I always wonder what times were like in those days when you were growing up as I’ve only seen life after the 90s. All the best.
@@Rosie6857 Chelsea somehow wins without convincing, I'm a Bayern fan & I can't believe the results of 2012 13 UCL final, it was a day light robbery
@@abubakerrawat7240 Hi! Don't be misled by my name; I am a fellow with a beard, now grey, alas. The name has a complicated derivation. When I first went to Stamford Bridge in 1958 football was not the money-mad business it is now and was much more laid back. And cheaper. A match would cost you 10p which is equivalent to about £7 today. In those days Chelsea were very erratic, sometimes brilliant, sometimes awful and really a bit of a joke. Not a very serious football club. There was no kudos in being a Chelsea supporter but to me that didn't matter in the slightest. Now, thanks to that nice Mr Abramovich, Chelsea are big. It all seems just a bit unreal and in some ways slightly embarrassing but I think I can put up with it.
@@Professor3141 The prize is to win, not to be convincing. Chelsea were not lucky - they just did the important things right. Drogba's header near the end for the equaliser was one of the most stunning bits of skill and bravery I have ever seen even allowing for my natural bias. When Drogba stepped up for that final penalty I just knew he would score. So did the Bayern keeper and probably the whole Bayern team as well. Just as with the 1970 Cup Final replay Chelsea's opponents could not deal with their spirit and sheer will to win.
Chelsea were very poor in this replay ... very lucky to have won , it was all Leeds
Seems like there was only a substitute allowed then
Who’s here from Peter Drury?
I’m here Still can’t see the tackles he was talking about
@@aliyubabahconteh76 yeah because this is the highlights bro, they wouldn’t show just a tackle in a highlight reel
😂😂😂Chelsea Leeds commentator anybody????😂😂😂

😂 This is the game Chopper Harris claimed he won, by nailing Eddie Gray early on. Gray had terrorised Chelsea in the first Final...
This game is more interesting than the Chelsea Leeds game being playedtonight
This was war .
No atmosphere coz there is no original crowd noise from the match , BBC pictures itv commentary, bizarre !!.fak3 noise, BBC Kenneth Wolstenholme version fantastic real authentic atmosphere
Kees
Peter Clutch Osgood
Great game.Went there by car with a few friends.Was only 16. Hoping Leeds would win after dominating the Wembley match. My brother was at the opposite end of the ground as a Chelsea supporter. Fair play to Chelsea for coming from behind in both games to lift the trophy. For me, John Holland was the man of the match, in which all players were excellent. Sad night for me and my fellow Leeds fans, but glad my brother went back to London a happy man.
John Hollins,durr!
Players are literally and brutally kicking each other. Commentator: "referee saw nothing wrong there". 😆
Why did they dive so weirdly?
They weren't diving - they were falling over. You must have got so used to seeing diving in the modern game that you have forgotten what "not-diving" looks like.
Rosie6857 😂😂😂 I don’t know why I wrote this comment now that I think of it
Ahhh a game with English people, a time to never return
Alot of scots too.
A country with English people ... ditto!
Leeds were the Better team
