i believe its the legendary 1970 FA Cup replay between Leeds and Chelsea

Quote:
The replay at Old Trafford, watched by a television audience of 28 million, a record for an FA Cup final, became one of the most notorious matches in English football. Modern day referee David Elleray "replayed" the match years later, and concluded that the sides should have received six red cards and twenty yellow cards between them. Not long into the match, Ron Harris caught Eddie Gray with a kick to the back of the knee, an action which virtually immobilised the Scot. Charlton kneed and headbutted Peter Osgood and Chelsea's goalkeeper Peter Bonetti was injured after being bundled into the net by Leeds' Jones, who minutes later rounded the limping immobile Bonetti and scored the opener. Norman Hunter and Ian Hutchinson traded punches while McCreadie and Johnny Giles lunged at opposition players.
