This song is fifty years old now and look, we are the world champions and have completed football. What a time to be alive!

I come from the future. Everything has gone downhill from there.

​@@MikeC8738 Fear not my brethren! In those fifty years, we have been way worse than before. Relegated, Save The Bridge, one pound purchase and in deep debt. Today, maybe we are still looking for ourself. But tomorrow, we will beat those who hate us: English Media English Government The Premier League Board The Referees Group (PGMOL) The FA The "Pundits" Those who undermine us All Accounts that is actively hating our trendemous achievements We will rise like a phoenix. We will silence those people, we will bring the hegemony back to the bridge!

My Lord, it gives me a chills! I'm so happy to became Chelsea's supporter since i was eleven (now i'm 23). I know our history not greater than some others club, but we are making our history now. Ans wait, is that The Beatles on this video? Lol

[@terrybeddows9439]

this should be the national anthem

[@brucedowney9164]

Fantastic CFC anthem still sounds brilliant 52 years later. We Are Chelsea from boyhood to death ⚰️

[@mrsmith3930]

I am an Arsenal fan by fate because I was born in Islington and went to school in Bethnal Green and remember this song and all the Players because when Arsenal played away I would go with Chelsea mates to watch them. I will always have a soft spot for the Blues they have fantastic supporters and in 2001 working in the game I met Peter Bonneti which was nice.

[@scsutton1]

If you met Peter Bonetti in 2021, you were most likely doing so via séance. He died on April 12th, 2020.

This was released in my first season as a regular at the Bridge, back when 50p pocket money covered fares, programme, admission and a bag of chips on the way home. One error though, this was released prior to the League Cup final in March 1972.

[@7hungary]

I started going to the Bridge in 1972 aged 13. Return train from Wembley Park 20p. Programme 5p. Admission Shed 25p. Total 50p. A few extras on the way home. Evening News / Standard for the classified football results and chips. Such happy days. Up the Blues! 😀

[@lovelove-hc6wg]

Wow amazing do you guys still go to bridge for watching football?

[@Oldgit60]

@@lovelove-hc6wg Not nearly as much as I used to, they’ll always be my team, bit it doesn’t feel like it’s my club anymore.

[@davidpollard4051]

Thought I recognised Kember and Garland who weren't at Chelsea in 1970.

[@patrickglennon7058]

I never heard that second song before, nice tune to it.

[@chrisdonaghey5749]

Bob Dylan wished he could write lyrics like this

[@merseydave1]

Even though I have never been a Chelsea fan, I can remember singing it as a 5 year old in 1970 and my brothers discouraging me... looking back its one of the best FA cup songs and Never mentions the FA cup??? good song though.

[@TheEctomorph]

I noticed that Mr David Webb (one of the burly Chelsea defenders of the late 1960s/early 1970s) used the colloquial phrase "no way" during an interview at the beginning of that footage [above]. That surprised me somewhat, to be honest; I had not realized that, that phrase was in fashion as far back as 1970! One modern colloquial term that definitely was NOT used in those days was "24/7". Nowadays, however (in the second decade of the 21st century), one cannot go for 24 hours without hearing the term "24/7"; it is almost as over-used as that annoying little word "issues"! Incidentally, the song 'Blue Is The Colour' (performed by the Chelsea Football Team) reached number 4 in the British charts in March 1972 - although it may have been recorded in 1970.

[@TheEctomorph]

Big Peter Osgood's sideburns were well impressive back in the early 1970's; they were somewhat reminiscent of Ray Dorset's!

[@merseydave1]

@@TheEctomorph They re-released it again, as they got to The 1972 Football League Cup Final ... they lost 1 - 2 to Stoke City!.

[@jonathantafler58]

Wonderful

[@paulgriggs6236]

I remember this coming out I've been a Chelsea fan for 53 years FA cup 1970 the most brutal replay ever against Leeds we won 2/1 they thought Chelsea were soft but we showed them and eurapean glory in 1971 against Real Madrid another replay then blue is the colour came out in 1972 and we lost against Stoke in the league cup final that's when players were players when you got talked by defenders you didn't get up wheather you played for Chelsea, Leeds, Man United, those teams all had there hard men there was no messing with those players

[@cloughey1]

Was Chelseas song for 1972 league cup final against Stoke city. Chelsea lost 2-1

[@PaulOHanlon-xc3ld]

Can hear the kids in the playground singing 'what a load of rubbish '. But then they were recording the song in Arsenal country. Great club song though.
