The player for Leeds United was upset about the goal he missed as the…

Ahead of Wednesday night’s match between the bitter rivals Chelsea and Leeds at Stamford Bridge, former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has criticized Eric Jennings’ officiating in that notorious 1970 FA Cup Final replay.

The two illustrious clubs have competed in the beloved domestic league in the past, so tonight in London, feelings will likely run hot. Naturally, the Blues and Whites have faced off in the Premier League recently, but the hatred between them is unleashed in a new way during the FA Cup.

That certainly brings memories of that 1970 encounter, which is generally considered to be the dirtiest in British football history. After Chelsea and Leeds drew 2-2 at Old Trafford in the FA Cup final, a rematch was necessary for the first time since 1912. Then, on April 29, the second match took place at Old Trafford, with Chelsea emerging victorious 2-1. However, the match’s antics are what people remember more than the outcome.

Clattenburg sat down to rewatch the game and provide an updated referee’s analysis for the Daily Mail. The centerpiece of the debate, predictably, was Eddie McCreadie’s spectacular kick to take out Billy Bremner, a Chelsea player.

The incident occurred in the 85th minute and Leeds United might have won the game with a penalty. While expressing gratitude for allowing the game to proceed, Clattenburg contended that the referee had “decided the outcome of the match,” which is something officials try to avoid doing.

With a few minutes remaining, Leeds has the opportunity to lead 2-1 against 10 men thanks to a penalty and red card, declared the referee. They’ve been defrauded. No matter the year—2024 or 1970—that is a kung-fu kick to the skull.

“Even in 1970, he was letting too much go. The players realized that the standard even for a yellow was very high, let alone a red. There was a lot of backlash as a result. To their credit, though, they carried on without ever raising an objection and even continued to work while taking blows to the head. I don’t believe it ruined the game since, 54 years later, we were left with an amazing show to watch and discuss.”
