Seaside Gloom For Blues
Scarborough had been in the Football League only two years when they were drawn against Chelsea.
In the first leg they held the First Division side to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. In the return, at the Athletic Ground, the Seadogs claimed the biggest scalp in their history.
Martin Russell’s second-half penalty overturned a 2-0 League Cup deficit to win 3-2 on the night. The former Manchester United junior kept his head to slide the winning goal past Dave Beasant and carve his name and those of his team-mates into Scarborough history.
