Poor Charlie Cook must have felt like a pensioner amongst all those youngsters. Interesting to note the players who had gone a few years later ... Ossie went to Southampton and Alan Hudson went to Stoke after a fall out with Dave Sexton and other players were sold off because of that East stand which was rarely even half full and relegation which plunged the club into financial crisis. Those days of the mid 70's to mid 80's were dark times for Chelsea in contrast to the way the club bounced back and then took off. It's hard to get a ticket to the Bridge these days but I remember how miffed we were when they put the price up to £4 for the Liverpool FA Cup game. lol I think they may have kept it at that price afterwards too. You could get into Old Trafford for less than £2 ... 🤣
Everyone forgets though, the east stand was the first part of a ground redevelopment plan, planned in the very early 70’s when we started to win trophy’s. As you rightly say the rising cost of building the east nearly bankrupt the club. Also just to say the team we watch here was being rebuilt. Eddie Mcreadie bought Players like Gary Stanley, Clive Walker, Tommy Langley and got us promoted in 1977. Mcreadie then left and as you say we didn’t recover until the Dixon, speedie, Nevin era.
It's basically their home strip shorts down and away yellow top. Normally the away shorts would've been the same blue as worn by Chelsea but...clash. The socks would've normally been yellow. Anorak information brought to you by a Carlisle lad who watched them in the First Division:)
@@trevortaylor1348 Didn’t Carlisle win at Chelsea the first day of the season the year before in Division One & go top of the League after 2 or 3 games??
Oh yes, in those days the keepers were often the first line of attack as they occasionally still are. Nowadays sides like to retain possession which is understandable if you have a reasonable passing game and leaves it a lot less to chance. Crystal Palace used to use that tactic of long throws from the keeper under Ian Dowie to great effect with Wayne Routledge being the winger and Andy Johnson being the ultimate target man. A bit old fashioned though but occasionally devastating.
@@neilpeace7734 Wow, he must have thrown it 70 yards or so? A lot play from the back these days Neil, there was a lad called Delap at Stoke with huge throw-ins, also Hutchinson at Chelsea was well known for his long throw ins. Modern football doesn’t light my fire like the 70’s - 90’s footy used to, maybe it’s my age, but I much preferred old-school footy. Great comment mate.
@@YeOldeFootballChannel I'm sure I've seen it maybe on a compilation....I recall a mob of Oldham fans behind the goal celebrating their goal,...who knows maybe it was this 1-4 game after all,...thanks though.
What a lovely lad Ray Wilkins was and so mature and responsible. RIP . Chelsea were so different from the massive club they are today.
Thanks a lot for those wonderful seventies memories. From Ole in Denmark.
I remember this match on the telly, mainly because of those two magnificent long range goals.
Wilkins was pure class we really miss the guy , I loved this team really bounced back after being relegated
ray wilkins was such a classy guy who died so early thanks to share these vids bro
Rare sighting of Ray Wilkins with hair 😉
Ray was right in the first place,both Sunderland & WBA did go up

Sadly Cooke was well past his best then we collapsed like a pack of cards

Curious Carlisle United away strip
Funny seeing Steve Sherwood in goal for Chelsea before being associated with Watford in the 80s.

Ray Wilkins needs to be careful. He could put somebody’s eye out with those pointy collars

Wilkins seemed such a nice level headed chap. Shame about the alcohol problem!
Thats what kept his head level .
That’s what you call a “ crunching tackle “ 20:00 in 👍👍
Great to see Tony Parkes scoring in his prime.
4:45 huge throw out by the Carlisle keeper 😮, unless it was an edit of a kick-out?? 🤔

Carlisle with 10 outfield Scottish goalkeepers.
Do you have Blackburn 0 Oldham 1 from 2nd March, 1974?
Not that I know...
