Ian Hutchinson, what a player from that era ..

[@1958david1]

What a lion heart he was for us. Gone, but never forgotten: RIP Hutch.

[@gunternetzer9621]

Absolutely - my dad thought he walked on water and such a nice, unassuming bloke here.

[@ysgol3]

Hutch was so fearless on the field, and seems such a nice bloke here. So so unfair that he died at 54.

[@gunternetzer9621]

Took too many painkillers over many years to get through games and it ruined his stomach.

[@FranzSausage]

The old Stamford Bridge was a unique stadium.

[@mizofan]

A potentially great career ruined by injuries, and a life cut short. He had a big heart

[@Farmlandsfallfan]

RIP Clough, Huchinson & Moore

[@Farerets]

Great throw-inns by Ian Hutchinson… no wonder Stoke signed Peter Shilton shortly after that.

[@drahcirnevarc9152]

Clough being very pleasant towards Ian Hutchinson.

[@mohdazmi10]

Imagine Ian Hutchinson and Rory Delap playing in this match. Waiting for John Dempsey comment.

[@tomthomas9708]

Hutchinson was a tough lad. He bullied Bremner mercilessly in the 1970 Cup Final and Bremner didn't like it one little bit!

[@WilliamPightling]

I was at that game, in the shed.

[@carpediem4290]

Full and pure football, like ever...thank you.

[@robertnicholasrobinson9407]

RIP Sean Haslegrave, lovely fella and talented footballer.

[@philipryan3195]

worked with john dempsey.. lived near ian hutchinson..new malden surrey 70,s

[@juliagriggs8256]

Two good strips here, No shin pads (S Kember) Looked a good game!

[@Keithbarber]

the east stand made the old north stand look like it was built from scrap metal

[@Chelsea2012goals]

What an epic game! Go Blues!

[@YeOldeFootballChannel]

Rory Delap (ironically a Stoke City player)'s loong throws are not as good as Hutchinson's. Ian was marvellous on that.

[@gregod806]

Huddy took great delight celebrating the 1st goal, Dempsey looks very much like Max Wall @ 3.29 and WTF was the keeper doing for Hutch's equaliser?

[@stephenclapham2519]

Noticed Hudson celebrated that first goal big time IMO he’s a traitor. Hutch completely the opposite great guy may he Rest In Peace.

[@robertwhittle1929]

Sean Haslegrave is my tutor at Newman College. Always brags about this goal. Terrible marking hahah

[@squonkharold9251]

Remember him playing with knee pads ,the guy was fearless,always gave 100%

[@HHM706]

Why did Hudson go to Stoke????

[@nearlysteviedan1275]

Master stroke singing by Tony Waddington. Had the privilege of watching Hudson for a couple of years, when he was one of the best midfielders in the world . . .

[@peterrandall9523]

Alan Hudson, magic player for Stoke. He could totally control a game. Chatted to him last season in The Glebe, prior to a game. There were great players in every team in those days.

[@rogermoore-gd9do]

Because he wanted go to Stoke.

[@gunternetzer9621]

The financial crises caused by the stand.

[@Keithbarber]

old north stand

[@billybob7ful]

anything London clubs did in those days was spun in a positive light.

[@Bern1mark]

A Chelsea player takes a long throw - it's an art. Stoke player - it's cheating!

[@peterrandall9523]

Post match analysis seems to have forgotten that there were two teams on the pitch. Great game though. What a team City had in the early seventies, a joy to watch.

[@gunternetzer9621]

Of course, this is SW6 not the smoke.

[@traceyhudson2463]

Looking back Stamford Bridge really was a dog hole of ground - in the away game at Cov I counted about 12 Chelsea fans in the away end - they musthave come in a mini bus.

[@ShellysAshes]

From my experience cov fans have a habit of talking utter waffles. Odd people.
