I attended these five games.

Villa Final was a massive disappointment, even Yeboah & McAllister couldn't save our blushes, Radebe & Speed were in that team.

Got to be “Square It Hadi”

I thought you might go for Sacko.

Three goals in sixty appreances.

[Chilli D]

Paddy Kisnorbo was excellent defender. So unlucky with injuries.
I remember the "You'll never beat Kisnorbo" chants

Gordon Strachan made his debut

Strachan would be in my all-time best Leeds squad.

On the bench, as there is no way getting in ahead of Bremner, Giles or Lorimer.

W Leeds 3-0 Arsenal - Division One (1972, 54 years ago)

Ooh, the years when the boot was on the other foot & we used to thrash Arsenal, some great away displays at Highbury too.

And of course, both our cup final victories was against the Gooners at Wembley.

We often used to win in London in those days.

[1964white]

We won 42% of our matches on this date.

Today’s blast from the past, Casper Sloth

A stunning signing

My favourite memory from that list was Billy scoring the winning goal vs Scum in the replay at Burnden Park on route to Wembley.
