    Receipts were £5,384.85. Lot of money in those days.

    CAFC 2 Chelsea 4. Treacy and Hunt for Charlton.

    I was there.

    KP nutmeged Chopper Harris and then wisely moved to the other wing at the suggestion of Charlie 'Barcardy' cook.

    Osgood curled a great shot just passed the upright, repeated the shot the following Saturday and match of the day were speculating if it was meant.

    Great to watch one of the greatest footballing teams play. KP must have been highly respected throughout football as a player for a team like that to turn up and play a full team.

    Yes, Seth, Brian Moore was listed in the programme as famous visitors. Along with Jimmy Hill and a few others.

    I went to this game and had been labouring for many years under the misapprehension that this was Brian Kinsey's testimonial match. On reading this thread, I initially thought that Brian's match was in 1970 and that we lost 2-0, although the programmes which are on sale online confirm that it was in April 1969.

    The 4-2 was a thoroughly entertaining game, with real star quality on show, including players like Osgood, Cooke and Hudson. Chelsea were a big draw in those days, having beaten Leeds in the classic replayed 1970 FA Cup Final and Real Madrid in the 1971 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, also after a replay, just two days after a 1-1 draw (Jose would certainly have had something to say about that).

    I recall that Peter Burrowes' headline in the 'Kentish Independent' neatly summed it up the game at the Valley - "Football From Another Planet."
