Hudson found himself in a Chelsea side noted for its flair & skill, complete with equally flamboyant footballers such as Peter Osgood and Charlie Cooke. It was during the 1969-70 season that he established himself as the team's playmaker, in the midfield of a 4-2-4 formation alongside John Hollins who was more defensive, creating goals for Osgood & Ian Hutchinson, & enabling Chelsea to finish 3rd in the First Division. He played in every match in Chelsea's run to the FA Cup final in 1970, but missed the final itself due to another injury when they beat Leeds United 2-1 in a replay at Old Trafford, having drawn 2-2 at Wembley. He did, however, play a major role in Chelsea's replayed European Cup Winners' Cup final win against Real Madrid in Athens a year later.
