That the FA Cup final ‘showpiece’ was played on such a disgusting pitch was an utter disgrace. On the other hand, that both sets of players displayed so much skill, and produced such a great match in those conditions is truly remarkable!
The conditions were lousy but these two great teams still managed to stage a great contest. The first F.A cup final I ever saw and still one of the best.
Great match. Note that Sprake made superb saves but is remembered for his error in the match. A very underrated goalie. The replay had one of the biggest ever TV audiences in Britain.
I like pitches that has life in it. Some of the best matches had terrible pitches but you saw great skill & adaptation & no complaints. Now pitches are like a video game, utterly perfect & utterly boring with lightweight players. Larry Lloyd weight equals 2 players of 2020's
Leeds not diving or trying to con the ref? Are you from this planet? (then the fact of both teams kicking shit out of each other. How is that good football?)
@@wildbill6826 Thing is, Ron, despite his reputation, was a good footballer. He'd previously captained England at youth level and was also the youngest ever captain of a Cup Final team, three years before this. And in a 20 year plus playing career, he was never sent off in a league game. That seems amazing but he played in a era where they didn't hold back and it wasn't just defenders. That Leeds team could mix it and there were forwards like Joe Jordan, Bob Latchford, Ron Davies, Joe Royle who gave as good as they got. Ron could certainly dish it out but he was getting whacked too. The irony is that he was limping badly before extra-time in this match and was substituted. In the replay, the injury was aggravated in another challenge but he made it to the end. No complaints from him. Just got on with it.
I remember this game well. A real blood-and-thunder final. I went to the semi-final replay when we lost to Leeds at Burnden Park and Best missed a sitter from six yards out. We hated Leeds but there's no denying they were a bloody formidable team who never lay down. They had some terrible luck down the years, culminating in the robbery in Paris five years after this.
"Spring is here and Leeds play Chelsea tomorrow and Ringo and John and George and Paul are alive and well and full of hope. The world is still spinning and so are we and so are you. When the spinning stops - that'll be the time to worry." 10 April 1970
Eddie Gray played out of his skin that day. Deserved better. Anyway, good to see how British football used to be played before the Premier League snuffed it out.
Horse of the Year Show had a part to play for the pitch condition.This Cup Final took place a month early in April rather than traditional mid-May so to allow England more time to aclimatise in Mexico for the 1970 World Cup.
No diving, no wrestling in the box at corners, no trying to persuade the ref to book an opposing player, no multiple substitutions in the last couple of minutes to waste time, no enormous, athletic giants with no skill or ability, managers who sit on the bench rather than prancing up and down the touchline like spoiled children, just two teams doing their best to score more goals than their opponents. Watching this game shows you how far football has fallen since the creation of the Premier League.
Watching it pumped for this Saturday. been a long time since we played Chelsea as we know. Leeds-Chelsea was a fierce rivalry back then dont think the new generation of Chelsea fans will understand but i imagine a lot of older Chelsea fans will still hate Leeds. hopefully another Saturdays game will be half as good as this one.
Back then Wembley on the weekend before the FA Cup Final always hosted the show jumping Horse of the Year show & the pitch got ruined for a footy game, still at least the greyhounds didn't shit on it!
Bill Buchan Unbelievable then, now the poor little prima donnas are sure to make sure they get pink or luminous green boots, in those days a mans game played by real men!
Bonetti was brilliant, Sprake made a costly mistake but that may well have been due to the mud- like Charlton's goal- and he also made some superb saves.
Yes, but even in those days the WEMBLEY pitch was normally impeccable. The deep, green, turf that used to suck the players' stamina and induce crippling cramp.

@@GavinOCo Also the players back then were all from England and Scotland and from the time they were kids they dreamt about playing in the FA Cup Final. Not so much the case today when most of the players aren't even British.
This was the 1970 FA Cup final between Leeds United and Chelsea that went into a replay after the first final had been drawn 2-2.Chelsea won the replay 2-1 and goalkeeper Peter Bonetti was the hero.But in the World Cup finals in Mexico the following month Bonetti would be harshly critized as the culprit responsible for England's 3-2 defeat to West Germany in extra time in the World Cup quarterfinal clash at Leon.
these highlights make the match look more even than it was, but with respect to Chelsea, Leeds totally outclassed them on the day, had it been played on a proper surface there would only have been one winner
right, on a good surface Chelsea would have played much better, Osgood and Cooke would have run rings round Leeds and Charlton's goal would have been cleared off the line

Thanks for sharing. I've never watched it until now, knowing who won in the end. Leeds should have won this. Woodwork and sitters missed. It's a wonder either team could string any passes together on this rugby league pitch!
Amazing and vibrating authentic football. By the way, it shock me so much the habit of forwarders in premier league to press goalkeeper once has the ball...
This is a joke right? I keep getting told by fans of other clubs that Chelsea doesn't have any history. Think you will also find that the following year Chelsea won their first European trophy before Liverpool won their first European trophy 🤔
Leeds were cheats and thugs, the most hated team in Britain. They were a disgrace to football, it was great to see Chelsea kick the shit out of them AND beat them.
Interesting that you say that, as Ron 'Chopper' Harris boasted in his book that he made the biggest single contribution to Chelsea winning the replay when he crippled Eddie Gray.
Everton were well ahead of them in the league, Celtic were simply too good for them in the European cup, and Chelsea, even with Bonetti injured in the replay and Hudson missing, made sure they won nothing :) As befits such a dirty team
@@mizofan I suggest that you watch the whole of the 1970 final and the replay, and then have a rethink. Little point though, as you probably have a closed mind, clouded by hatred, third hand opinions and selective memory. Actually, I have edited this because I realise that I am wrong. You are actually a wind up merchant. Fair enough. I have just read your comments on the video of McCreadie's unpunished assault on Bremner, and they are actually much more balanced.
One of my favourite football moments is Hutchinson making a momkey of Charlton to score the second equaliser - and the horrible Charlton then fruitlessly looking for someone else to blame.
24 of the best players in the country on show and every one of em could dish it out. Can you imagine the likes of Jack Grealish playing against these lads. Chopper Harris and bites yer legs Hunter would have him for breakfast
Yes, doesn't look too friendly does it? You can see Charlton giving him an earful for the first goal, too, perhaps with some justification, but Sprake does well to keep this one out and still gets it with both barrels. Who'd be a goalkeeper?
Leeds were deemed to be the "away" team so had to change their socks. In the replay Chelsea were deemed to be the "away" tram so played in yellow socks. Great days. Great players.
@@craiggerrard5117 ah! Thanks Craig. I couldn't figure it. In those days other pitches could be a tip, but not Wembley, which was always immaculate.

I'm sadly getting on in years now, but looking at the pitches they play on these days, I can scarcely believe my eyes. They look like billiards tables or bowling greens. I really don't know how they turn them out like that, week after week. New techniques of drainage and grass technology or something. I used to go and watch Southampton play at The Dell. What an amazing little stadium that was. The pitch might look all right for the first few matches, but then it would all cut up, and both penalty areas, and beyond, would look more like Bournemouth beach. Many other grounds weren't much better though. Some were worse. Was watching on here just yesterday a programme about Brian Clough. The pitch at the Baseball Ground was literally a mud heap. Not a blade of grass to be seen. You wondered how they could play on it. Probably wouldn't even be legal nowadays!

Not a blade of grass to be seen. You wondered how they could play on it. Probably wouldn't even be legal nowadays!
Hutchinson was a good player but the rest of the Chelsea side were average players
The pitch was a joke .
That pitch would scare todays’ new forest pony riders 🙄
Did they play this match in a freshly plowed potato field?
