Chelsea v Everton 1970 Charity Shield

[@melvyns1975]

Kendall what a player,what a manager, what a man! Legend rip

[@hauntboy]

I remember watching this on MOTD and there was a big thing made at the start about Alan Ball and his new white boots. I think it was the 1st time anyone had been seen in anything but black.

[@Lord_Hillcrest]

Terry Cooper of Leeds wore them

[@garyfenlon5769]

Everton Manager's Goal, Joe Royle crosses for Howard Kendall to score!!!

[@darganx]

A coaches goal!

[@l1982echarg]

0:32 Alan Ball first White boots in history

[@stationers]

The game appears to have been played in colour whilst the crowd is mostly black and white.

[@vordman]

Haha, I think some techy has coloured this but couldn't be bothered to do the crowd.

[@soccer1970-f5f]

Its some weird technical glitch, but its definitely not ''colourised'' as suggested in another comment. This 4:55 is the only footage that exists of the match.

[@martinhowarth81]

My first ever football match ... 11 years old .. ( Spurs fan ) .. loved Alan Ball

[@Lord_Hillcrest]

How Peter Bonetti was Englands No:2 is beyond me .

[@roystonhesketh3987]

Easy. Going to walk the league again this season l thought as a 7 yr old boy....er 14th!

[@BarryCFCOK]

Not seen these goals since that season didn't know that the BBC still had the film, remember Chelsea doing a lap of honour with the cup before the match, ha good old days

[@peterscotland6393]

After the Chelsea goal the camera goes on the shed and it looks like some Everton lads not to happy with the Chelsea fans around them

[@cliveevans9948]

I was there - 16 years old and on my own all the way from Oxford. No worries!

[@vincentdriscoll3472]

My first game aged 7. Met Alan Ball briefly outside the dressing room afterwards.

[@hauntboy]

@azcargo His goals dried up after they became white though. He'd been scoring goals at the rate of a forward over the previous 4 seasons. Still don't think they should have sold him though. Great player!

[@frankhornby6873]

hauntboy ....yeah...Bally didn't want to leave Everton....but catterick wanted the Money...which was £220,000...twice what Everton paid for him!..£1million still wouldn't have been enough!!!....he was the greatest of them all....little curly Alan Ball......

[@Foul_Quince]

Who's the greatest of them all? Little curly haired Alan Ball!

[@JC-hu1wd]

I met Alan at a coaches dinner back in 2004 when he was guest speaker. The thing i remember was he mentioned there were two things crucial to his success.: 1 He had talent 2: He had backing . His father was very supportive of his ambition and career. I would add a third thing: his enthusiasm for the game!

My first EVER football match ..loved Alan ball .. spurs fan .. school friends dad took us .. aged 11

[@hauntboy]

After their exploits over the last few seasons, these 2 teams were being hailed as the "teams of the 70s", but for this Everton team it mysteriously all went wrong after this match, as they finished 14th in the league and didn't win their next trophy till 1984 when Kendall, who scores here, was their manager. Much was expected of Alan Whittle after his scoring spree at the end of the past season which helped Everton become champions. His goal here further fueled the expectations.

[@mrlister2000]

@fifthof Gordon Lee's era!

[@TheGiantKillers]

@fifthof They wen't closer in '75. The bookies had them something like 1/4 to win the title and they collapsed in the last few games.

[@philipjones3517]

the Mexico World Cup probably didn't help Everton, but it is one of the more surprising sudden declines in English football

[@MrJeepsters]

Leur élimination contre le Panatinaikos en 71 reste, pour moi, une énigme.

[@darganx]

Kenneth Wolstenholme fresh from his legendary work in Mexico a month or so earlier.. and it looks like Howard Kendall has been balding for the last 50 years! This was just when styles were about to go wild.. White boots (Alan Ball), tights (Keith Weller, not for a while yet!) and mutton chops (Alan Hudson)!

Bonetti showing some of his World cup form !

[@Trev359]

Blaming Bonetti for the World cup- that's original.

[@rogergreen9798]

It's true bonetti was a fucking disaster for england.

[@Ruda-n4h]

Peter was suffering from a crisis of confidence but managed to pull it around as the season went on. Some players haven't come back from similar circumstances.

Leeds should have been playing Leeds for this 1970 Shield...

[@Trev359]

still sore about losing after nearly 50 years?

[@TheGiantKillers]

Nobody who saw the 1969/70 season would ever suggest Everton weren't deserving Champions. They were given such a difficult start to the season that it raised questions at the Football League who suggested that from 1970/71 they would seed the teams for the fixture list. Then Everton saved them the bother by winning six of their opening seven games, winning at Arsenal, beating Manchester United and beating Leeds 3-2. By the end of the season, they'd beaten all twenty-one league opponents, something that remains rare in top-flight Football to this day. Easily one of the best teams over the course of a season I've ever seen.

[@evertins]

@@TheGiantKillers well said

[@chriscoates5427]

What tripe. How many points were Leeds behind Everton? Leeds pushed the rules under Revie. Dirty tactics, which were unnecessary from a team with so many skillful players.

[@converse91970]

Just out of interest, how was it decided which ground to play at in those days, before the match was moved to Wembley in 1974?

[@craiggerrard5117]

+converse91970 I don't think that there was any real rationale as to where the match was played - possibly just went to the team that was prepared to host it. This was the last Charity Shield to feature League v Cup winners untilo 1974 (the first Wembley year. 1970 was Leicester (promoted from 2nd Division) v Liverpool (Cup Finallists). 1972 was Leicester (Charity Shield holders) v Manchester City (no reason for them being picked at all really). The following year was City v Burnley I think.

[@converse91970]

+Craig Gerrard Thanks for the info!

[@YeOldeFootballChannel]

1972 was Aston Villa (the previous season in the 3rd Division!) vs Manchester City (perhaps the only team available at that time), and in '73, City vs Burnley at Maine Road.

[@mickcapewell6369]

@@YeOldeFootballChannel i was at that Villa vs Man City game. My uncle supported Villa and took me to watch them, and also to see Cloughie’s Derby too. From memory it was a very routine City victory. 2-0 was it? I think Colin Bell scored. He was the best player on the pitch by a distance.

[@beds139]

The convention was that the League champions hosted the FA Cup winners but this got diluted down in later years before the switch to Wembley. The first match at Wembley between arch rivals Leeds and Liverpool did not feature much charity.

[@vordman]

Can anybody tell me which stadium this is? The ends look like the old Wembley, but the crowd down the sides look closer than I remember. Seriously intrigued?

[@vordman]

@Jist CFC Thanks, so Chelsea were at home and still lost.

[@frankhornby6873]

vordman ....no shock there....EVERTON were awesome back then!.......

[@davek834]

Charity shield was played at Wembley from 1974 ,Leeds v Liverpool when Brenner and Keegan were sent off for fighting
