For the first time a Wembley FA Cup Final ended in a draw after extra-time, as Chelsea and Leeds United shared four goals on 11 April 1970. Twice Chelsea were behind at Wembley, to Leeds goals scored by Jack Charlton and Mick Jones but, twice Chelsea equalised, first through Peter Houseman and then through Ian Hutchinson’s diving header from a John Hollins cross. The 1970 Final was played on possibly the worst Wembley playing surface ever, and both teams shared a deserved lap of honour at the end of an energy sapping 120 minutes.

En- route to the Final, Peter Osgood scored in every round for Chelsea, and Ossies diving header from Charlie Cooke’s reverse pass, twelve minutes from time in the Cup Final Replay at Old Trafford on 29 April, kept up his record of scoring in every round - a feat not equalled since. Led by Ron Harris, Chelsea finally took the lead, for the first time in the Final, fourteen minutes into extra time in the Replay, when David Webb, headed the winning goal, after a long throw by Hutchinson had been helped on by Leeds centre half Jack Charlton, and after being behind three times in the FA Cup Final, Dave Sexton’s Chelsea won the club’s first FA Cup.

In celebration of the 1970 FA Cup win, Chelsea wore the distinctive commemorative 1970 FA Cup Winners shirt throughout the following 1970-71 season.

FA Cup holders Chelsea began the season hosting First Division Champions Everton at Stamford Bridge in the Charity Shield. A 1-2 victory for the visitors saw The Toffees lift the season's first domestic honour.

Chelsea finished 6th in the First Division, exited the League Cup away to Manchester United in the 4th Round when George Best scored one of the greatest individual solo goals ever seen at Old Trafford. Manchester City knocked Chelsea out of the FA Cup in the 4th Round 0-3 at Stamford Bridge.

Keith Weller, a £100,000 preseason signing from Millwall was the leading goal scorer with 14 goals in all competitions, and Blues legend John Hollins was Player of the Year for the second season running.

If domestically 1970-71 was underwhelming, Europe was a different matter, and if there's an iconic match involving Chelsea wearing the 1970 FA Cup Winners shirt, it took place at Stamford Bridge on the evening of Wednesday 24 March versus Club Brugge in the UEFA European Cup Winners Cup Quarter-Final 2nd-Leg.

45,558 were at Stamford Bridge to see if Chelsea could recover from losing 2-0 in the 1st-Leg. Peter Houseman scored at The Shed End after 22 minutes to halve the deficit, and Peter Osgood, brought the tie level in the 81st minute. In extra-time Osgood again, and Tommy Baldwin completed a 4-0 win on the night, and Chelsea were through 4-2 on aggregate, and were on their way to the 1971 UEFA European Cup Winners Cup Final in Athens where they'd meet and eventually overcome Real Madrid to win the club's first European trophy.
