Sinopse

The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Tony Glover to look back at the 1977-78 season.Chelsea was back where they belong, in Division One, but they would start the season without the manager who got them back there, Eddie McCreadie. McCreadie had surprisingly left the club during the summer and was replaced by Ken Shellito.It was to be an infuriating return the top division though, with Chelsea typically mercurial. Winning away at Man Utd (now managed by former Chelsea boss Dave Sexton) and beating Forest, the eventual Champions only to lose 6-2 to City, 5-1 to Coventry and 6-0 to Everton. In between there were mad 5-3 and 5-4 victories over Ipswich and Birmingham.But the season is remembered for one game in particular. The FA Cup third round match against Liverpool, European Champions at the time. Clive Walker ran rings round them that day and Chelsea won 4-2. Chelsea
