Just slightly before the timeline of this thread one of the greatest away victories is 45 years old this week and has its own thread.

Leeds Vs Man City FA Cup Jan. 7th. 1978

Was just surfing through Youtube looking for something else (not porn honest) when this popped up You tend to forget football used to be like this - Gordon McQueen takes out Peter Barnes - No Penalty! Then McQueen punches his own keeper! - cue stern talking to from Ref Oh, and a full scale...

Absolute carnage that game. Stood just inside the turnstiles with my dad and lumps of concrete coming over the wall from the Leeds fans outside.
Seem to remember quite a few Blues coming out of their Kop and running over to the City end when it all kicked off.

Didn’t Stoke set fire to Shakespeare pub?

Yes, it was a common trick they used when the police would lock them in a pub, to set fire to the curtains.

Also the day the United fan spoken about on this thread ended up doing a hefty stretch for.

Funnily enough I was talking to the landlord of that place at the time about a month ago. He’s long gone now but I don’t think they’ve let anyone in there who looks remotely like a football fan ever since.

Was only thinking about Bulldog yesterday as I drove past his old restaurant in Javea, Spain.

A good lad was Bulldog

RIP

Was Kano still running it then? Think he might have gone before that time
