This is the FA Cup 5th round of 1978 at home.
This was a game I was at and remember for the collapsing walls. Maybe someone can tell me why Brian Moore has a telephone on his desk in the studio?
Anyway I hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks, good to see the old footage. I too was at the match, behind the goal at the Windsor Road end and got a spectacular view of Jackson's excellent save - what a great 'keeper he was for us. I also attended the replay, one of the most satisfying matches I've ever seen...

I didn’t go to the replay as my dad said it was too dangerous, I was too young and after what happened at our ground maybe he was right? I did ask him years later why he never took me and his reply was if it kicked off I need to protect you and when everyone potentially could be fighting that might be difficult. We all know what the late 70's early 80's were like with hooligans.

That’s very true Thor I went with my dad and two uncles who were both dockers at the time so I felt quite safe I actually thought the Chelsea fans took the defeat quite well on the night from what I can remember although we were parked very close to the ground and made a quick get away |

I was at the home tie with my Chelsea supporting brother and my 2 memories of the game are John Jackson's save and the wall collapsing (which was due to our ground being crap according to my brother).I went to Stamford Bridge on my own for the replay and it did look like it might get nasty at the final whistle. Always hated Chelsea - and I haven't spoken to that brother in years.

I think the telephone on Brian Moores desk was because the Big Match often went out live on a Sunday afternoon. In those days no ear peices to rely on if the tape of the game had a problem. I remember our FA Cup and league games against Chelsea in that era always had a horrible sinister atmosphere to them. I went to Chelsea on my own for the replay and managed to park five minutes from the ground without any issues, although a couple of blokes I knew who went by tube got a slap outside the station.

Went to all the home cup games that season inc the semi final at Stamford Bridge. As well as the wall vs Chelsea, anyone else remember the fighting behind the goal at the Norwich game? West Ham fans involved if i recall.

I was at the home game.The people I used to sit with went to the replay.They said they walked from the ground to their car grim faced.When they had driven some yards down the road they shouted and ranted with joy
I myself gave out a yell of delight at the result,laying on my bed with my heart pounding away leading up to the knowing the result.

I was there as a young kid. I remember the wall coming down at the start of the match and a Chelsea fan dressed as a Gorilla. 25,000 crowd I think.

The News programmes used to have phones on the desks as well. Reggie Bosanquet would answer it and say Yes, Yes, OK, OK.
