EE AYE ADDIO, WE'VE WON THE CUP!

Today is the 50th anniversary of Chelsea's epic FA Cup Final replay victory over Leeds United.

The match inspired a whole generation of fans, and became one of the most infamous games ever played in the country.

Insane tackles, fights and aggro ensued, and under today's rules around 11 players would've been sent off ...
But on the night there was only ONE booking, great days!!

Incredibly, 28.5 million people watched this match, which is still the 5th highest ever TV audience.

The pic shown is Peter Osgood scoring a diving header to rescue the game for Chelsea.
David Webb famously bundled in the winner in extra-time.



It will always remain one of the most iconic moments in Chelsea's history.
