Both mobs weren’t called that in ‘75 total BS
But it did happen so the name of the firms is really irrelevant
@@benjaminpullinger3567 it is relevant when it’s in the headline…
I was at that game. Not sure what the "writers" are talking about. First of all these firms were not called Headhunters or Seaburn Casuals back in 1975. Most away fans arrived by coach and parked up at the harbour/sea front. There appeared to be between 500 to 800 Chelsea fans in the Roker End, most of whom had been escorted by the police to the back of the Roker End. There was a good squad of Sunderland fans in the Roker End to greet the Chelsea lads, but it is bollox to say they were the Seaburn Casuals, we were from all over the NE. It did get a tad feisty in the Roker End, the police were not quite skilled up - primarily handbags - running at & back again - bit of nasty chanting, first game of the season and a good 2-1 win. Fantasy writing on football hooliganism rife for some !
70s went home and away following chelsea headhunters did not exist then came much later shed boys in those days still am chelsea loyal
Sorry too hear that,
They weren’t called the headhunters then 😂
Sunderland was a hell of a rough place to visit in the 70's. You needed a big mob to take them on but I can fully believe Chelsea did. They did similar in the league cup , midweek, in the 80's.
Nope. They didn't in 1974 and they didn't in 1985.... Oh, and in the 1992 league Cup midweek match, they got battered as well. Panic all over around Roker Baths Road.
Absolutely bollox poor fella lives in dream world 😂😂😂
This fella would be brilliant if they brought back jackanory,
Chelsea Headhunters didn't exist in 1975. In 1975 it would have been the Chelsea bootboys.
SAFC were the Vaux crew back then.
Beautiful ❤Channel!! Thanks!! From Northen Italy!! Hellas Verona Uber Alles!!
'Casuals' were the 80's not 1975.
Liverpool 77.
I'm now 68....I attended this match...the story has some truth...both Sunderland and Chelsea had moments....remembered well is that our few Chelsea broke into the home end pre match early....we got to the middle of the terrace pissed and singing Chelsea Chelsea....security came and chased us out...went into the away end when it first opened it's turnstiles...us few surrounded by Sunderland with us in the middle singing.....we are surrounded.....we are surrounded....then the lovely girls we messed with around seaburn way later....a good day
Never say nout about Boro Chelsea in play off when Boro walked few Hyde park 1000 lads Chelsea were locking them self s. In pubs walking up kings road round Chelsea seats smashed any one. Ho wanted took piss all day a lad from west ham showing Boro were to go. All Chelsea did get on pitch one book said it was biggest firm from north that's every came to Chelsea. Ha
So fucking what you mackerel, what happened in 78 at Ayesome Pk, not on the pitch there was we.@@RichardMcglade
@@RichardMcgladewhat a load of nonsense you talk taking the piss ? Walking through a park ? Wow that’s really taking the piss 😂 I was at the game all you done was walk down kings road so what 😂
I've been in the Holgate End 3 times, when we properly 'took' it (stay in all game). @@RichardMcglade
They got relegated to division 1? Fuck me , mate, the clue's in the name. Division 1 is now the PL. They were relegated FROM division 1 to division 2 - now called the championship.
You can't beat bit of fiction 😂😂😂
"Chelsea trying to get revenge at the return fixture" should give people a much better idea about what really happened overall that day. Let's deal with the coaches first as they weren't even mentioned on this video. In those days most away fans arrived by coach and parked along the seafront at Seaburn. This is where the majority of sunderland lads waited from early doors and Chelsea took a proper hiding before the game and scattered everywhere, some probably not even going to the ground as it was so on top and dangerous to go through those streets in small numbers. People say after the game they were shown no mercy but i disagree about that, many who ran were chased across the beach and only had to go into shallow water to escape. They were left alone after this but could've been chased further if there was hatred. As for the train lot i find it hard to believe there would be a huge sunderland mob up at the station before the game as its right out of the way and the Bluebell Pub they mention has never been a hooligan venue. They basically took the main/only route from the station to the ground and then got bundled down to the away (Roker) end by the Fulwell lads. Inside the ground there was lots of fighting (some of it shown on photos and videos). To be fair to chelsea although they definitely came off worse the ones in the away section did manage to stay there for the full game with a police barrier. After the match the train lot definitely came off second best as there was no element of surprise and mobs of sunderland were getting stuck in all the way back to the station. Again, very fair play to the few hundred chelsea who did limp back to the station but their heroic efforts would be in stark contrast to their train counterparts who got picked off/split up/battered. Anyway, unlike the majority of teams back then chelsea did turn up and although loads of them took a hiding their main firm were game but had nowhere near the numbers it would've taken to turn sunderland over at home back then. All good things come to an end though and the return fixture at Stamford Bridge(just a few days before Christmas) was every bit as on top for sunderland.
I smell bullsh*t as Chelsea got battered and brought nowhere near 2-3k
😂 1975 yeahhhh this never happened in 1975..😅...or anytime. We never ran, from ANYONE....🤬
Was it not Babs who delivered the Churchillian speech? Including the line 'they ain't even proper Geordies'.
No Mate It Was Hicky
@@georgemoore707 Correct, the then virtually unknown Hickmore made his name that day.
@@georgemoore707 ah, yes.
Babsy was and still is a man of very few words, doubt it was him.
True gentleman.

A FEKKIN MILE 😂YOU MAKE GINGER BOB SOUND LIKE A PRIEST 😂
Chased them for a mile !? As if 🙄
No casuals until the 80's.
Good Jackanory tail as we weren't the Headhunters then and i followed then in those days
you gt chelsea on speed dial
Chelsea were either Shed or North Stand boys North stand were dangerously mad with no fear. Shed more vocal egging North Stand on
North stand do your job 😁
Nope no Headhunters in '75
Jackanory pom pom
Lol the title made me laugh. Biggest firms i ever seen in the 80s and 90s were in there hundreds not thousands. KRO SOTV BCFC ZULU
What a funny fairytales. I thought english lads are more serious. Greetings from Croatia.
What exactly would you know
@@antoinemartin7729
For start HH didn't existed in 70's. Also numbers are exaggeration big time. So this old stories are more like fairetales for today kids. Firms with thousnds and thousnds lads ready for action back in old days and today most of them don't exist. Yea right, I will belivie in that old fairetales.
Went to Roker in 1978 with Brighton, needless to say they weren't very many of us
Won 2-0 and went top of the old division 2 that day
Wonderfully intimidating, my favourite all time ground
Remember Sunderland bringing loads to Brighton that season
The good old days
Did you? you should stop taking TH-cam accounts seriously, been to Zegrab a few times, seems you're one of the idiots.
@@philwise872 I was one of the SAFC mob who travelled down to Brighton that season. Plod must have been expecting bother as we were all searched before we got off the bus, then searched again outside the ground, then searched again as soon as we got through the turnstiles. A lad off our bus was wearing pit boots...with highly polished steel toe-caps. He had to remove them at the turnstile, and collect them after the match... but they'ed went missing!:) Good days!
Total bollock
Bullshit...
Absolute crap 😂😂
