Old school humble fellas who did not earn a fortune in there day like footballers today but lived comfortably in there day god bless them many passed away still Heroes to us old proper fans luv them x
this should be the national anthem
Happy 50th Anniversary Blue is the Colour
Fantastic CFC anthem still sounds brilliant 52 years later. We Are Chelsea from boyhood to death ⚰️
Bob Dylan wished he could write lyrics like this
I am an Arsenal fan by fate because I was born in Islington and went to school in Bethnal Green and remember this song and all the Players because when Arsenal played away I would go with Chelsea mates to watch them. I will always have a soft spot for the Blues they have fantastic supporters and in 2001 working in the game I met Peter Bonneti which was nice.

If you met Peter Bonetti in 2021, you were most likely doing so via séance. He died on April 12th, 2020.
I was around the age of those children in the schoolyard when this came out. Iam 6 again! Thanks for the memories!
This was released in my first season as a regular at the Bridge, back when 50p pocket money covered fares, programme, admission and a bag of chips on the way home. One error though, this was released prior to the League Cup final in March 1972.

I started going to the Bridge in 1972 aged 13. Return train from Wembley Park 20p. Programme 5p. Admission Shed 25p. Total 50p. A few extras on the way home. Evening News / Standard for the classified football results and chips. Such happy days. Up the Blues! 😀

Thought I recognised Kember and Garland who weren't at Chelsea in 1970.
Amazingly done .
My Lord, it gives me a chills! I'm so happy to became Chelsea's supporter since i was eleven (now i'm 23). I know our history not greater than some others club, but we are making our history now. Ans wait, is that The Beatles on this video? Lol
Even though I have never been a Chelsea fan, I can remember singing it as a 5 year old in 1970 and my brothers discouraging me... looking back its one of the best FA cup songs and Never mentions the FA cup??? good song though.

I noticed that Mr David Webb (one of the burly Chelsea defenders of the late 1960s/early 1970s) used the colloquial phrase "no way" during an interview at the beginning of that footage [above]. That surprised me somewhat, to be honest; I had not realized that, that phrase was in fashion as far back as 1970! One modern colloquial term that definitely was NOT used in those days was "24/7". Nowadays, however (in the second decade of the 21st century), one cannot go for 24 hours without hearing the term "24/7"; it is almost as over-used as that annoying little word "issues"! Incidentally, the song 'Blue Is The Colour' (performed by the Chelsea Football Team) reached number 4 in the British charts in March 1972 - although it may have been recorded in 1970.

Big Peter Osgood's sideburns were well impressive back in the early 1970's; they were somewhat reminiscent of Ray Dorset's!

I remember this coming out I've been a Chelsea fan for 53 years FA cup 1970 the most brutal replay ever against Leeds we won 2/1 they thought Chelsea were soft but we showed them and eurapean glory in 1971 against Real Madrid another replay then blue is the colour came out in 1972 and we lost against Stoke in the league cup final that's when players were players when you got talked by defenders you didn't get up wheather you played for Chelsea, Leeds, Man United, those teams all had there hard men there was no messing with those players

I never heard that second song before, nice tune to it.
1972 LEAGUE CUP FINAL AGAINST STOKE NOT 1970
I sang this in my infant school talent show . I didnt win , i didnt even support Chelsea i supported Leeds . 1970 but it seemed like yesterday .
Love this song love this club chelsea loyal 55 years
Was Chelseas song for 1972 league cup final against Stoke city. Chelsea lost 2-1
Not a Blues fan,but back then they had some tremendous players,Osgood,Cook,Hollins and that song was def one of the better ones!
isn't it 1972? instead of 1970?
omg kids sang this on my school bus...😂
just wow, KTBFFH
1972
Where's the cat ?...peter bonetti
Can hear the kids in the playground singing 'what a load of rubbish '. But then they were recording the song in Arsenal country. Great club song though.
Do I have to be the one to point out that this song was for the 72 League cup final against Stoke? Im still trying to find thr actual 1970 one, by a group called Stamford Bridge. Needle in a haystack, thanks to their group name!
1972 actually (not 1970)
Nice
The B side was good too. "We All Sing Together"
Is that Esther Ranson?
1972 released. Get your facts right
who is peter osgood? which one?
Didn't they really make use of the Leeds tune ''Marching on.....'' and put their own Chelsea lyrics to it .....so as to wind up the Elland road lot?
The club anthem was composed 50y ago, we have no history. 😉
anybody in 2024 👇
