Great moment in Chelsea FC history: Scott Minto's Triumph at the 1997 FA Cup Final This iconic photograph captures the elation and triumph on the face of Scott Minto as he lifts the FA Cup aloft following Chelsea's hard-fought victory over Middlesbrough at Wembley Stadium on May 3,1997. The FA Cup Final was a highly anticipated match, with both teams giving their all in a thrilling and tense encounter. Middlesbrough, managed by Bryan Robson, had shocked the footballing world by reaching the final, having finished the season in 11th place in the Premier League. Chelsea, on the other hand, had finished in a respectable 6th place under the management of Ruud Gullit. However, on this day, the underdogs were not to be underestimated, and the match went to extra time with the score locked at 1-1. The decisive moment came in the 116th minute when Chelsea's Dan Petrescu crossed the ball into the box, and Minto, who had come on as a substitute, rose above the Middlesbrough defense to head the ball home and secure a 2-1 victory for the Blues. The FA Cup triumph was Chelsea's first major trophy since 1990 and marked the start of a new era for the club. The photograph by Francis Glibbery perfectly encapsulates the emotion and excitement of the moment, with Minto's jubilant expression reflecting the relief and joy felt by Chelsea fans after years of waiting for a trophy. The image has become a cherished memory in the history of Chelsea Football Club and serves as a reminder of the team's resilience and determination to succeed.
