Out of the Cup, and 8 points behind Arsenal in the days when only the Champions, and current holders, qualified for the European Cup, and only one team from any city could qualify for the UEFA Cup, and a league win was only worth 2 points. Basically our season all but ended on March 1st.
It was no surprise that our home game v Stoke, a mere 21 days after the classic 3-2 FA Cup 5th round tie, was an absolutely dismal, dire affair. Yes even teams with Ossie and Cooke in their prime could play their part in dreadful games, and this one still stands out in the memory today.
David Webb headed the winner in the 69th minute, and headed against the crossbar in the 90th, apart from that nothing happened.
Chelsea 1 Stoke City 0 (attendance 19,836 hardy souls)
