Having done extremely well just to reach the semi-final stage of the Luxembourg Cup in the 1970-71 season, Jeunesse Hautcharage faced a tough draw against newly crowned national champions Union Luxembourg. Jeunesse Esch had five full Luxembourg internationals in their team but the Hautcharage players proved stronger and fitter. A couple of the Hautcharage players were electricians by trade and performed the installation work themselves. Most of the Chelsea team seemed happy to play at training-ground pace with, unfortunately for the visitors, star striker Osgood the exception. Yet yet it doesn’t do justice to the brave efforts of a Hautcharage team who were playing so far above their natural level.
