WEMBLEY FINAL.
In a game where Leeds were generally seen to have had the best of the play — with winger Eddie Gray in particular giving David Webb a torrid time — the Yorkshiremen took the lead after 20 minutes when Jack Charlton's downward header from a corner did not bounce in the muddy pitch, defending Chelsea player Eddie McCreadie mis-timed his attempted clearance and the ball rolled over the line. Towards the end of the first half, Chelsea's Peter Houseman drove a low shot from 20 yards (18 m), which goalkeeper Gary Sprake fumbled, and it, too, rolled over the line for the equaliser. Leeds appeared to have secured the game six minutes from full-time when an Allan Clarke header hit the post and Mick Jones reacted first to put the ball into the net, but two minutes later Ian Hutchinson headed in the equaliser from John Hollins' cross. There were no more goals scored during the 30-minute extra time and the two squads took a joint lap of honour. The Wembley pitch, after the game, was in such dire condition that the Football Association decided to stage the replay at Manchester's Old Trafford stadium.

REPLAY AT OLD TRAFFORD.
The replay at Old Trafford, watched by a television audience of 28 million, a record for an FA Cup final, became one of the most notorious clashes in English football for the harshness of play, which exceeded the previous game at Wembley. The referee in charge of both games, 47-year-old Eric Jennings from Stourbridge, in his last season as a Football League referee, allowed rough play by both sides throughout, playing the advantage to its full extent. He booked only one player, Ian Hutchinson of Chelsea, during the game. Modern-day referee David Elleray reviewed the match in 1997, and concluded that the sides would have received six red cards and twenty yellow cards between them, in the modern era of football.[7] Tommy Baldwin and Terry Cooper, admittedly two of the quieter men in the two sides, were kicking lumps out of one another, as the battle began. Not long into the game, Chelsea's Ron Harris caught winger Eddie Gray with a kick to the back of the knee, an action which neutralised the Scottish winger for the rest of the game. Norman Hunter and Ian Hutchinson traded punches while McCreadie and Johnny Giles lunged at opposition players... (source : wikipedia)

En cette fin de saison 1969/70 Leeds United est en course pour réaliser un triplé historique : Coupe des Champions , Championnat et Cup que seul le Celtic Glasgow a réussi avant lui en 1967 . Le calendrier des Anglais est carrément démentiel puisqu'il faut finir la saison au plus tôt pour permettre à l'équipe d'Angleterre de se préparer dans les meilleures conditions pour défendre son titre de Champion du Monde à la Coupe du Monde qui débute le 31 mai . En 1 mois du 1er avril au 29 les joueurs de Don Revie vont disputer pas moins de 8 matchs soit un tous les trois jours en moyenne (bonjour la récup !) Le 1er ils disputent leur demi-finale aller de C1 à Elland Road contre le Celtic 0-1 . Ahurissant ils jouent le lendemain un match en retard de championnat contre West-Ham à Londres (2-2) . On remet ça deux jours plus tard à domicile contre Burnley (2-1) . Une semaine plus tard arrive la finale de la Cup à Wembley contre Chelsea . Il faut dire que pour arriver là les Whites ont sorti Manchester United en demies au bout de 3 matchs ! les 14 , 23 et 26 mars . La finale est l'une des meilleures de l'histoire Leeds croyant bien tenir sa 1ere Cup après le but de Mick Jones à 6 minutes de la fin . Hélas Ian Hutchinson égalise deux minutes plus tard . Prolongation qui ne donne rien on rejouera donc mais pas tout de suite Leeds ayant encore des matchs de championnat et sa demi retour de C1 qu'il dispute donc à Hampden Park le 15 avril . A ce moment là ils sont toujours en course pour ce fameux triplé (ils sont 2e au championnat à 2 points d'Everton) . Hélas malgré l'ouverture du score par leur capitaine écossais Billy Bremner les Peacocks perdent ce match retour 1-2 . Reste donc le doublé pour se consoler . 3 jours après match en retard contre Manchester City à Elland Road et là ça commence sérieusement à coincer (1-3) . 3 jours plus tard on fini le championnat à Portman Road à Ipswich avec une nouvelle défaite 2-3 . C'est fini Everton est sacré Champion d'Angleterre . Reste cette 2e finale de Cup jouée à Old Trafford (le terrain de Wembley étant impraticable) et une nouvelle fois les joueurs de Leeds pensent tenir leur 1ere Cup jusqu'à 12 minutes de la fin quand Peter Osgood égalise avant que Webb ne donne la victoire à Chelsea . Leeds pouvait tout gagner il a tout perdu (fors l'honneur) . Il faut dire aussi que Don Revie s'appuyait sur un noyau de joueurs clé qu'il ne changeait pratiquement jamais . Ils n'ont jamais rien lâché se battant comme des lions (three pour certains d'ailleurs) . 4 d'entre eux feront du rab au Mexique : Allan Clarke (qui connaîtra sa 1ere cape contre la Tchecoslovaquie) , Terry Cooper , Norman Hunter et Jack Charlton le frère de Bobby .
