Last days of December, 1976. I was on my way out of the Platt Lane stand, walking along the front of the stand towards the exit tunnel at the corner with the Main Stand when that back header went in from Dave. That, along with Bell's injury the previous month,cost us the league (as you said).Yep that one goal in the very last minute meant that the twats beat us by one point to the League that season.If only Dave ... if only.
Strangely enough I was in the Platt Lane End as well and had just left my seat to go down the tunnel between Platt Lane and the right hand corner of the Main Stand,when I heard a shout and realised it wasn`t loud enough for a City goal but those thieving fuckers who somehow nicked a point.Last days of December, 1976.

Yes that game was before we had the under soil heating,I was at Leeds two days before 2-0 win Kidd with both goals,Bell was a big miss that season but it was November 75 when he got injured not 76.Last days of December, 1976.

I remember it well Oakie. Big Joe, Donachie, Watson, Doyle, Owen, Asa, Barnes, Tueart, Royle. RB would have been Kenny Clements, wouldn't it (before Ranson's time, I think).
Dave Watson hit 'em harder with his head.
Yeah he could hit them alright, always pops up in lists of players with the hardest shots but I've never seen a speed given.I remember a Michael Tarnat free kick that seemed pretty rapid.
Nah, he shinned it.
