First, Bonetti punches a ball clear before Lorimer can attack it, then Chelsea counter at Leeds through Baldwin and Osgood, before the latter is crowded out. 91) Chelsea 2 Leeds 2. Leeds’ Scottish winger had given the Chelsea full-back an absolute chasing in the drawn final at Wembley that prompted the replay. Chelsea head out wearing a fantastic-looking red tracksuit top, with Leeds led out by Don Revie and captain Billy Bremner. Webb was switched to centre-back for the replay to get him away from Gray and give Harris the task of keeping the winger quiet, but fate drew the two back together almost immediately and gave the Chelsea man a chance to make his mark. “On the field he was an animal, but away from the football you won’t meet a nicer fella, a gentleman.”. We matched them in the physical side of things because we had our own players who were physical and that was probably why we were such big rivals.

His first touch in the 1970 replay - a throw-in - is conducted to a chorus of boos from the Chelsea fans. So unlucky! What an incredible spectacle of football that was! Don Revie’s side are on top at the moment. Houseman chips over a dangerous centre from the Chelsea right which Baldwin flicks towards goal and somehow, Sprake keeps it out with Osgood ready to pounce from a yard out. 120) Full-time: Chelsea 2 Leeds 2. In a game where Leeds were generally seen to have had the best of the play — with winger Eddie Gray in particular giving David Webb a torrid time — the Yorkshiremen took the lead after 20 minutes when Jack Charlton's downward header from a corner did not bounce in the muddy pitch, defending Chelsea player Eddie McCreadie mis-timed his attempted clearance and the ball rolled over the line. A nice break from Dave Sexton’s Chelsea just now, as Houseman sends Hutchinson racing away down the right but his cross searching for the unmarked Osgood in the box is collected by Sprake in the Leeds goal. Phew, we got away with that one to remain level! But David Webb has other ideas. Leeds hit the crossbar.

The replay was staged at Old Trafford and played on 29 April; after four hours of fiercely contested football, Chelsea eventually won 2–1. There were also individual scores to be settled, with one of the freshest that between Webb and Gray. That must surely be it as extra-time looms. Harris would more or less finish the job on Gray before the first half was out, catching the winger on the back of his left knee, leaving him with an injury that restricted him for the remainder of the game and crucially robbed Leeds of arguably their most talented attacking player.

6) Chelsea 0-0 Leeds. A let-off for the Blues there and you have to accept that Gray is giving a Webb a torrid time down that flank today. And there we have it, it ends all square and for the first time since 1912, we need an FA Cup final replay to settle these two sides. Leeds are knocking on the door at the moment but strong defending from the Blues allow us to clear through Hinton and then Webb. Leeds and Chelsea were two of England's top teams that season, having finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in the First Division. Bang.

Here is recaptured every moment from the teams emerging from the tunnel to the final lap of honour. COME ON! For Leeds it was an agonising near miss in a season full of them, coming in a month that saw a second successive league title slip from their grasp and a European Cup challenge end at the hands of Celtic in the semi-finals. On the stroke of half-time, the ball drops to Clarke who hammers the ball against the bar and away to safety. “Previous”. 43) Chelsea 1 Leeds 1. Great stop to deny the man with arguably the hardest shot in football! Come on you Blues, make this one count!

2) Chelsea 0-0 Leeds. His centre is met by the head of Houseman but he can only flash wide of the target. 106) Chelsea 2 Leeds 2. It was certainly not representative of the man - a warm, generous and beloved figure, the death of whom on 17 April was deeply felt not just at Leeds but across the football world. McCreadie is in the right place at the right time for Chelsea, stopping an effort from Giles from the edge of the area after the Irishman had latched onto a long throw from the left. 105) Half-time: Chelsea 2 Leeds 2.
