EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a memorable moment from the 1970-71 football season, as the Chelsea Football Club's League Cup finalists gathered at Wessex Sound Studios to record their anthemic song "Blue is the Colour." The team, dressed in their blue and white striped jerseys, are seen in high spirits as they prepare to lay down the iconic track. From left to right in the front row, we have Steve Kember, Tommy Baldwin, Ron Harris, Mickey Droy, John Dempsey, Alan Hudson, and John Phillips. In the back row are Paddy Mulligan, Charlie Cooke, John Hollins, Marvin Hinton, David Webb, Peter Osgood, Chris Garland, and Eddie McCreadie. The team's charisma and camaraderie are palpable in this image, as they came together to express their collective pride and passion for their beloved club. The League Cup final, which took place on April 21, 1971, saw Chelsea face off against Leeds United at Wembley Stadium. Despite a valiant effort, they ultimately lost 2-1, but the recording of "Blue is the Colour" became a source of inspiration and unity for the team and their fans. The song went on to become a staple of Chelsea's history and a symbol of their unwavering spirit, encapsulating the essence of their blue identity. This photograph serves as a testament to the team's resilience and the power of music in fostering a sense of community and solidarity. It is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in Chelsea Football Club's history, and a reminder of the enduring passion that drives the beautiful game.
