- From the FA Cup 5th Round. Highlights of Orient v Chelsea and Bristol Rovers v Ipswich Town. Includes interviews with Jimmy Bloomfield (Orient manager), Ken Shellito (Chelsea manager), John Jackson (Orient), Ian Britton (Chelsea) and Brian Winston (Orient chairman)
A funny thing (compared to nowadays) neither Bristol Rovers or Ipswich Town have their badges on their kits...just the manufacturer logos.
When the thought of wearing a pair of gloves never crossed a players mind ✌️
I am amazed the game continued at Orient after two wall collapses.
I was at that match. Standing right next to the area where the wall collapsed. Whatr's more, I hadn't old my Mum/Dad that I went to the game., I was only 12.
That's a first for me. A switch-hitter corner-kick specialist. Bristol Rovers player (Bobby Gould) switches from left-foot to right-foot for various corner kicks.
Two walls collapse and people injured. Then within 10 minutes they have the game on again. Where was health and safety in 1978?😮
True, you've got to love the fact the Orient chairman was out there directing traffic and helping kids into a "safer" area of the ground
It seems there were an awful lot of Chelsea games being shown in The Big Match during 1977-78 season 😮
Probably because they were about to get promoted...shame,lol.
Glorious Eastville.
I second that 😊
A day before eigth birthday!
Good job Ipswich equalised otherwise they'd have never won the Cup that year!
Oh Ray Graydon....?
And an early appearance for a Cap-Less and Coiffured Tony Pulis
Orient chairman rushing over to do his bit knowing the walls were ROTTEN as you can see. Even told the media, Chelsea fans used welding tanks on the barriers 🙄 what a cnut 💙 I was in the main stand and walls went down same time. Probably 20,000 Chelsea exceeded the max attendance. Sardines in there. Remember some bill came in to make an arrest and got a proper spanking. Icky in the gorilla suit up the floodlight. Think there may of been a game on but not sure 🤔
