EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the intense moment during the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Leeds United, which took place on May 5,1970. The image was taken by the renowned Scottish photographer, Eddie McCreadie, during the historic match at Wembley Stadium. McCreadie, who passed away in 2014, was known for his exceptional ability to capture the raw emotion and energy of football matches, making him a favorite among football fans and clubs. In this image, we see Eddie McCreadie's focus on Chelsea's Eddie McCreadie, who is in the midst of a fierce challenge against Leeds United's Billy Bremner. McCreadie's determination and grit are evident as he lunges towards the ball, while Bremner tries to shield it with his body. The tension between the two players is palpable, with their expressions revealing the intensity of the competition. The FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Leeds United was a highly anticipated match, with both teams having strong squads and a passion for victory. Chelsea, led by manager Tommy Docherty, had reached the final for the first time in 27 years, while Leeds United, managed by Don Revie, were defending champions. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, and the replay took place just three days later at Old Trafford, where Chelsea emerged as the victors with a 2-1 win. This photograph is a testament to the passion, skill, and determination that define football, and it continues to be a favorite among Chelsea fans and football enthusiasts alike. The image transports us back to the 1970s, a time when football was played with a raw energy and passion that is often missing in today's game. Eddie McCreadie's photograph captures the essence of that era, and it remains an important part of Chelsea's rich history.
