However, he missed the Blues emerge victorious in an extraordinary 4-1 victory against his beloved Spurs after falling ill before kick off.
That is according to Mail Sport, who state that the ex-Northern Ireland great “was assessed by stadium medics in North London before being taken to a local hospital”.
Fortunately, the same report did add that Jennings was “said to be feeling better later on in the night”.
Jennings made more than 450 appearances for Tottenham after joining them from Watford in 1964.
During that period he helped them to lift the League Cup twice and the FA Cup.
And he was also in the side that won the 1972 Uefa Cup.
Jennings also famously SCORED against Manchester United in the 1967 Charity Shield – now known as the Community Shield.
The 119-capped Northern Ireland international left Tottenham after 13 years in 1977 – but he did not go far.
Remarkably, he joined North London rivals Arsenal and went on to achieve iconic status there too despite his past with Spurs.
