Chelsea have a rich history in the FA Youth Cup and one of their strongest teams to ever lift the cup came back in 2012.
The Blues beat Blackburn Rovers over two legs in the cup final 4-1 on aggregate. The tie was all but over by the end of the first leg after a strong performance at Stamford Bridge that saw the Blues win 4-0 at home.
Rovers did win the second leg at Ewood Park but a 1-0 scoreline was not enough for them to mount a comeback and the Blues saw out the result, in what was the second time in three years that the Blues had won the competition.
With Chelsea’s youth team back in FA Cup action next week, we look back at the squad that lifted the trophy at Ewood Park and where their respective careers have taken them since.
There are some familar names in the squad as well as some interesting career choices!
