Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal 1972-73

The form book for this match pointed towards an Arsenal win - the Gunners had the best defensive record in the whole of the Football League (only 25 goals conceded in 27 games), they were unbeaten in their last nine fixtures in league and cup and had not lost to another London side during the season. Brian Moore is the commentator.

Ray Kennedy and Peter Houseman both died young! God bless them! And now Ray Wilkins!

ray Kennedy is NOT dead. he was one of the best players of the 70's

[@converse91970]

Indeed Ray Kennedy is still very much alive but has been suffering with Parkinson’s Disease for the last 30 years or so. He lives in his native North East nowadays.

Wow the salty bitterness of Arse fans on the comments is unreal ... just enjoy this victory will you

[@lewisgreen1633]

Lovely shirts and colours they had back then..

What great commentary by Brian Moore. No uneccesary co commentator to state the obvious and no female pundit to spout rubbish.
Those were the days!

I don' t think that Chelsea deserved to lose. But knock out football is like that - you play very well but you don't score, you make just one mistake and you've had it.

why is this at night?

[@simonlilley]

Not at night, match was played in the afternoon on 20 Jan 1973, so would have been almost dark when game kicked off.

Bullshit-Before Roman arrived Chelsea final league positions since 1999 was always in the top 6. Every season without fail so dont know what your on about. Before Roman arrived we won 2 fa cups, ecwc cup in 8 years. Roman arriving was the final touch we needed that was all.
