Played for Chelsea in this game and remember it well. Well done to Stoke but for Gordon Banks we would have beaten them. Great memories of a great era of great players. John Dempsey ex Chelsea Player
Hi John and best wishes to you-nice to hear from you again on CZcams. Unfortunately not one of your better days in League Cup vs Stoke but commiserations on your defeat. As you rightly say some fine saves by Gordon Banks-still you were a fine side and gave great entertainment. Anyway hope you are keeping well in these troubled times.
I was there as an excited eleven year old. Seen this game so many times but last five minutes still gets my heart racing, thank god for Gordon Banks!!!!"We'll be with you...." GOOOOOOOOAAAAAARN STOKE!!!!!
My first memory of Chelsea as an 8 year old. Ossie scoring on the big occasion as he always did and a great piece of skill on the floor. His was, is and always will be the epitome of Chelsea and the King's Road swagger.
I was lucky to see all of these tremendous players having watched Everton since 1960. It Everton would have had Peter Osgood and Jimmy Greenhoff into their team 1970 onwards they may have won the key games that win trophy's. I remember they signed a Scottish striker Joe Harper from Aberdeen in 1972 for a big fee who never delivered. Mike Bernard and Mke Pejic later joined Everton and did well. Having recently watched overseas players at Goodison unable to make a forward pass, or take a decent corner kick, I despair when i recall these great games and players that shame the overrated Premier League.
Gordon Banks a difendere la Porta! Peter Osgood, ad attaccarla! Nel Tempio dei Templi del Calcio: Wembley (dove ora sorge un moderno Stadio.....). Tra meno di un Secolo, quando saranno scomparsi tutti quelli che hanno amato questa fascinosa struttura che fu l' Empire Stadium, i posteri potranno innamorarsene attraverso le tante gare immortalate. Ma mi chiedo: chi oserebbe abbattere la "Fenice" di Venezia, per costruirci sopra un teatro supermoderno? Allora, il quesito diventa: il Calcio va considerato "bene di consumo" (la deriva pare questa....) o gli va riconosciuta una qualche "valenza artistica"? Come fu per il Cinema: da stramberia, a "Settima Arte"! Quali, i canoni per definire una gara "Opera d'Arte da tramandare"? La ripresa televisiva, l'atmosfera, il commento, i colori in campo, il susseguirsi dei gol ecc. Allora, Italia-Germania 4-3; come pure Liverpool- Saint Etienne del 1977, lo sarebbero!
You can see from the names that indeed they were close as teams skill and physical level. I dont think Sexton was the best manager in the League, Waddington was a workhorse manager rather than a superstar and suited Stoke City well for the time.
It seems hard to believe that the greatest goalkeeper of all time only won this trophy at club level. No disrespect to Stoke but they wouldn't stand a cat in hells chance of signing him today
Looking at this now, stoke would have had to play with 10 men after 10 mins now with that foul Used to like their kit and had a good side in them days, funny around this time year before millwall knocked stoke out of the league cup , recall many wall fans being dissapointed as Banks never played (injured) and farmer played instead
Surely three of the scrappiest goals ever scored on the hallowed turf! all in the one match as well! and look at the peeling paint on the stair into the mass bath right at the end of this video, wouldn't get that these days.
Football was so much more attractive in those days....look at the players, all in black boots....compare them to today's players, in red, blue, green boots, goalkeepers in short sleeves, strange haircuts, tattoos....simply ugly, ugh!
@@aidenhorton18 No - am not Souness. Am a long time football fan who watched so very many games starting in the mid sixties and enjoyed very much the style of play and the players back then, but not anymore.
Arsenal were formed in 1886 weren't they (I know they changed their names a few times...they were the MK Dons of their day after all so hardly surprising)? And they won their first trophy in 1930 (although you say it was 1929 so maybe I'm wrong...I presume you know the facts about your own club right?). I make that 44 years...whatever way you dress it up. Either way...why can't you answer my question? Would Arsenal have achieved their historical success without the financial input of Henry Norris? It really isn't a difficult question. A yes or no answer will suffice. Finally, Chelsea did finish fourth and qualify for the CL the season before Roman arrived. That has been Arsenal's main objective for the past few years.
Bloor would have been sent off these days for that professional foul. And Stoke were pretty crude in some of their challenges - but football was like that in those days.
Looks like Stoke resorted to the timely use of a foul to interrupt when Chelsea were flowing, and Chelsea's set pieces not good enough. Overall the better team on the day won.
Pourquoi Gordon Banks n'a t-il pas été recruté par des clubs comme MU, Liverpool ou Arsenal (ces clubs avaient des gardiens très moyen) ? Passer de Leicester à Stocke est un étrange choix.
On dirait que Liverpool était après Banks, mais il n'y en avait jamais eu. L'un des problèmes était que les clubs avaient un contrôle presque complet sur le contrat d'un joueur, alors je soupçonne que Leicester a peut-être hésité à le vendre à un club supérieur.
Bill Shankly, Liverpool manager, wanted to buy Gordon Banks but the owner’s of Liverpool refused to give Shankly the money. They told Shankly that Banks did not score any goals, but Shankly told them he would save 20 goals a season!
I wouldn’t say Stoke were favourites but they were a respected team who were doing well in the 70s. I think most people in football back then would say they should have gone on and won more trophies
When football had a soul, Stoke fans singing ynwa is unreal Football was awful, those two teams would be lucky to play in the npl today, the pace of the game is a million times quicker
No. That came in October 1972 after a game against Liverpool at Anfield. He made numerous goal-stopping saves throughout the match. The score stood at 1-1 until the 90th minute when Ian Callaghan finally blasted a shot into the roof of the net which Banks just failed to reach. The next day, he had been receiving treatment at Stoke's ground for a small injury he had suffered at Anfield. It was while driving home from there that he was involved in the car crash in which he received injuries and tragically lost an eye, bringing his football career to and end. Those of us at Anfield that day were shocked to learn that we had seen Banks play his last ever game. A truly great goal keeper.
@@gary1961 he did play in the USA for a while after that and wasn't too bad with only one eye but the standard of play there did leave a lot to be desired

I am a Stoke fan, but Chelsea's kit was gorgeous in those days.

AEK Fans,
Thanks for providing coverage of this exciting League Cup Final from Wembley!
Mike Pejic opened a greengrocers in my home town of Biddulph in the 80s. He managed the local team Knypersley Victoria for one season.
My first memory of Chelsea as an 8 year old. Ossie scoring on the big occasion as he always did and a great piece of skill on the floor. His was, is and always will be the epitome of Chelsea and the King's Road swagger.
Stoke's Dennis Smith having broken so many bones during his playing career bespeaks a player who gives 100% every time he pulls on the jersey .
Great, great match, Cooke, Hudson and Osgood in my mind some of the greatest players of there generation.
And still Chelsea's greatest team....
absolutely

Greenhoff played this game with a dislocated shoulder. A player goes off for a potential dead leg now.
The save at 38:50 of this clip: With the League Cup on the line.
So Cool. Clutch. Balls to The Wall Agressive.

I was 9 watching this an a Chelsea fan for 2 years. This was the realisation that Chelsea were fallible but also declining. A painful few years ahead.
Two Great sides with so much brilliant Flair. None of these players were earning £250,000 a week. How things change, not always for the better. 😉
2023 and our late queen Elizabeth sadly moved on and so has gordon banks and both shall be missed greatly may the both rest in peace
some cracking footie
It seems hard to believe that the greatest goalkeeper of all time only won this trophy at club level. No disrespect to Stoke but they wouldn't stand a cat in hells chance of signing him today
Always remember Bonetti brilliantly getting down to parry that shot...only for Eastham to net the rebound!
I had an Action Man with a Chelsea kit around this time. Pity it weren't a Stoke outfit!
Love the stoke strip ✌
Love to see Banks v Bonetti -- from Japan
Looking at this now, stoke would have had to play with 10 men after 10 mins now with that foul
Used to like their kit and had a good side in them days, funny around this time year before millwall knocked stoke out of the league cup , recall many wall fans being dissapointed as Banks never played (injured) and farmer played instead

Stoke City What A Great Day Nice 👍 One Stoke We'll Be With You. Winners At Last.
Quite apt really watching this video in the same town as the referee came from

went there for my 9th birthday - another disappointing day out watching Chelsea! Osgood was good though!

Can you imagine keepers today not wearing gloves
Didn't the long coat and shop do well that weekend?
Never walk alone at 20:30? Who was winging?
50 years ago today. 4/3/2022.
Up The Potters. 🔴⚪
And here's another thing; why do Chelsea still proudly use 'Blue Is The Colour', their song especially written for this final, when they lost?????

Stoke city were a big club at the time

How much of a shock was this at the time?

News flash. You get more views not showing the final score
most clubs fans sung it at one point
When football had a soul, Stoke fans singing ynwa is unreal

Wasn't this banks last match before the car crash that ended his career

come on stoke
chelsea wearing yellow socks
Banks could have saved Osgoods shot easily !!!!!
Cant see that right in the corner
Wish England had a goalkeeper now even remotely as good as Banksie, greatest ever
money talks
