Walsall's one victory came at Stamford Bridge, on Saturday, 30th March 1963. The match, which was in League Division Two, ended one-nil to the Saddlers.

The last time the two sides met was on 7th October, 1992, where Kenny Hibbitt's Walsall lost 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Second Round of the 1992/93 Coca Cola League Cup, with Robert Fleck scoring the winner for the Blues.

The Saddlers lost the match 4-0 aggregate as Chelsea had won the First Leg by three-goals-to-nil with goals from Dennis Wise, Eddie Newton and Andy Townsend securing the win.
