67, there were running battles between Spurs and Chelsea fans in the 60’s and 70’s which has carried on to a lesser extent even niw.I think that’s where all the animosity has come from and it’s handed down to all the newer fans.
“We hate Tottenham” has been chanted by Chelsea fans for decades.
The 67 Cup Final was smack bang in the middle of it all too and didn’t help.
Losing that Cup Final was a massive disappointment to Chelsea fans having lost two consecutive Semi Finals previously and that didn’t help the relationship.
Losing Osgood to a broken leg that season was a massive loss with his silky skills and whilst Tony Hateley as his replacement always looked like he had 2 left feet to be fair he did head the goal that beat Leeds in the Semi Finals and he was incredible in the air.
White Hart Lane was a very dangerous place to go during that period especially if you wore colours. Cheers 9’s
