Fair fucks to the autograph hunter. I wonder if he got Stuart Hall’s too? Stuart Hall and The Lawman sounds faintly prophetic...

Brilliant, enjoyed that.
Terry Dyson trying to repair a vacuum cleaner, had a back to the future feeling about that!
The disallowed Spurs goal in that footage, by the way, comes when Spurs were awarded a penalty right at the end of the first half and Cliff Jones had his spot kick saved by Bert Trautmann. Jones knocked in the rebound but because the ref had already extended the opening period to allow the penalty to be taken, he blew his whistle for half time as soon as Trautmann made the initial save and the goal didn't count.
It was a controversial moment for Spurs, though. They finished third in the league that year, a point behind Wolves and two behind eventual champions Burnley, but they had the best goal average of the three. So had the penalty rebound stood and if they'd gone on to beat us rather than having a blank first half then succumbing to Clive Colbridge's late goal, they'd have been the champions that year. Somehow I doubt they'll gain much sympathy on here!
EDIT - That Spurs game took place on 16 April 1960, exactly 4 weeks after Law's debut at Elland Road, but the yellow away shorts and socks with maroon trim plus white shorts seems to be a completely different away strip from the one we wore at Leeds.

Saw that a few years ago but had lost the link. Thanks for posting.
One of the narrator's comments made me nostalgic. The idea that you could be in a city, miles away from the actual stadium and yet hear the roar of the crowd when there had been an incident or a goal had been scored. You had absolutely no way of knowing what had happened until later that evening. Such very different days.
