I think the Wolves “ controversy “ may be about the allegations that Don Revie tried to bribe them to throw the match . This also led to Gary Sprake becoming persona non grata for the part he played in the affair . As I remember the FA did agree to a postponement provided that Leeds agreed to not field Hunter , Madeley or Clarke who had all been picked for England duty ( 2nd leg of European championship game versus West Germany )!
This is entirely new information to me.
Is there any proof ?
Ive heard "Leeds, dirty on and off the pitch", ive had that said to me before, but i always assumed it was the hooligan stuff

Jim Storrie badly injured but continued to stay on the pitch & hobbled around in much pain
I think Gerry Byrne was also injured early on in the game . The game was pretty dull by all accounts which Liverpool did deserve to win . Bremner’s equaliser was brilliant !

It was a dreadful game, Billy's goal the highlight of the game for this eleven year old at the time.
What a season after our promotion to Division One
Runners-up to Man U pipped on goal average & FA Cup finalists

Hi Leon , so near yet so far . I think Leeds lost at home to Manchester Utd ( having previously beaten them away and also knocked them out of the FA cup ) and drew their last game against Birmingham 3 - 3 away .

Yes mate that defeat at ER was a killer punch to our title hopes with just a few games remaining of the season. I was at the game & the semi-final at Hillsborough when I was hit on the head with a sharpened down coin. Mum refused me to allow our kid & I to go to the replay as it was a night game & we had school the next day.

Hi Cjay , it’s an allegation that’s done the rounds for years . It was never proven . The attached is a long read but gives you a flavour of it
