The 1970–71 season is most notable for Colchester's famous [[FA Cup]] run. In the first round, the U's disposed of [[Non-League football|non-League]] [[Ringmer F.C.|Ringmer]] courtesy of a Ray Crawford [[hat-trick]]. They then completed a cup double over [[Cambridge United F.C.|Cambridge United]], beating them 5–0 in the first round of the [[EFL Cup|League Cup]] and then 3–0 in the second round of the FA Cup. Colchester defeated further non-League opposition in the third round, winning against [[Barnet F.C.|Barnet]] at [[Underhill Stadium]]. The U's trailed 3–1 with five minutes remaining of their fourth round tie with [[Rochdale A.F.C.|Rochdale]] before staging a late comeback to earn a 3–3 draw and a [[Layer Road]] replay, where they thrashed Rochdale 5–0. This earned them a home tie against [[Football League First Division|First Division]] side [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]], a side top of the League and who boasted ten internationals in their side.<ref name="hist">{{cite web |url=https://www.cu-fc.com/news/2012/july/the-1970s-and-1980s/ |title=The 1970s and 1980s |last=Hudson |first=Matt |date=11 July 2012 |publisher=Colchester United FC | |

Leeds United were at the time one of the best teams in the country. However, Dick Graham's side set out to frustrate Leeds by suppressing their usual wing play and playing direct football instead. Chairs and other obstacles were placed by the sidelines to produce an illusion of a narrow playing surface. Colchester found themselves 3–0 ahead after two goals from Ray Crawford and one from Dave Simmons. However, Leeds began to fight back, pulling back two goals with 17-minutes remaining, before Colchester [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]] [[Graham Smith (footballer, born 1947)|Graham Smith]] produced a phenomenal save to deny [[Mick Jones (footballer, born 1945)|Mick Jones]] with the score at 3–2. Colchester held on to record a famous victory and one of the most notable FA Cup giant-killings.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.espn.co.uk/facupstories/sport/story/124299.html |title=The harder they fall |date=2 December 2011 |publisher=ESPN | |

The 1970–71 season was Colchester United's 29th season in their history and their third successive season in the fourth tier of English football, the Fourth Division. Alongside competing in the Fourth Division, the club also participated in the FA Cup and the League Cup.
Colchester reached the FA Cup quarter-final, famously beating First Division Leeds United 3–2 at Layer Road in the fifth round. They had already defeated Ringmer, Cambridge United, Barnet and Rochdale along the way, before being defeated 5–0 by Everton at Goodison Park. Owing to their cup run, Colchester's league form stuttered, ending the campaign in sixth place, while they suffered a second round exit in the League Cup after being beaten by Birmingham City following a replay.
Season overview
[edit]During the summer of 1970, manager Dick Graham increased the average age of his Colchester squad by signing a number of ageing players, including ex-England international Ray Crawford, Brian Garvey, John Kurila, Mick Mahon and Brian Owen. During the season, both Owen and Roy Massey suffered serious or career ending injuries, forcing Graham into signing Brian Lewis and Dave Simmons.
The 1970–71 season is most notable for Colchester's famous FA Cup run. In the first round, the U's disposed of non-League Ringmer courtesy of a Ray Crawford hat-trick. They then completed a cup double over Cambridge United, beating them 5–0 in the first round of the League Cup and then 3–0 in the second round of the FA Cup. Colchester defeated further non-League opposition in the third round, winning against Barnet at Underhill Stadium. The U's trailed 3–1 with five minutes remaining of their fourth round tie with Rochdale before staging a late comeback to earn a 3–3 draw and a Layer Road replay, where they thrashed Rochdale 5–0. This earned them a home tie against First Division side Leeds United, a side top of the League and who boasted ten internationals in their side.[5]
Leeds United were at the time one of the best teams in the country. However, Dick Graham's side set out to frustrate Leeds by suppressing their usual wing play and playing direct football instead. Chairs and other obstacles were placed by the sidelines to produce an illusion of a narrow playing surface. Colchester found themselves 3–0 ahead after two goals from Ray Crawford and one from Dave Simmons. However, Leeds began to fight back, pulling back two goals with 17-minutes remaining, before Colchester goalkeeper Graham Smith produced a phenomenal save to deny Mick Jones with the score at 3–2. Colchester held on to record a famous victory and one of the most notable FA Cup giant-killings.[6]
With the U's in the quarter-finals, they were drawn against Everton at Goodison Park. Dick Graham's Grandad's Army finally succumbed to defeated by a 5–0 scoreline in front of a crowd of 53,028.
Colchester's cup run had a negative impact on their league form. With fixtures backing up, a run of 17 league games following their cup exit until the end of the season proved too much as they finished the campaign in sixth position, two points shy of promotion.[5]
