I vaguely remember this game was in doubt due to some snow, or heavy frost in morning, but apart from Tambling scoring four I do remember for some reason Sunderland playing in all red, rather than their usual strip. (This sort of kit change was very unusual in the days before replica kits)
Up 1-0 at half time, Brichenall scoring off the underside of the bar, before Bobby scored a 9 minute hat trick in the second half, firstly from an Ossie backheel after 56 minutes, then a tap in after Montgomery (their 1973 Cup Final hero ) saved well from Houseman, and then converting a Charlie Cooke pass to make it 4-0. Colin Suggett pulled one back before Tambling completed the scoring with a 74th minute header from a Houseman cross.
Final result ; Chelsea 5 Sunderland 1
Ossie had a knee strapped at end, but expected to be fit for next week's FA Cup Quarter Final home tie v West Brom.
