Leeds Utd v City - 1976/77 FA Cup

Who was there when City took over at Sheff U which started what the police called 'The Battle of Bramall Lane'.

It ended up looking like Pilkingtons factory there was that much glass about. The bar at the back was cleared of every full & empty bottle which were used as missiles.

There was a lot of claret about that day !!

I think it was a well known City lad called Johnny Khan who was fighting with McQueen ?.....Scary time going to Leeds in the 70s especially on the train. Went to both those Cup games by train and a long walk back. Thanks for the footage PB not seen that before. How the fashion changed a couple of years later and flares were well and truly binned!

I think it was earlier than that '73/74. Easter Monday game ?

The air was just full of glass,but it was all happening in a very calm way,like it was the most normal thing to do.

Dozens laid out round the pitch getting treatment.

Keeper couldn't take goal kicks.

You are right, it was Johnny K. A right evil looking fecker he was. Me and him hitched it Back from West Ham in the 70's, and he came back to mine to get a cab about 7-30 sun morning. My old man went for a piss and Johnny came out of the bog and scared my old man shitless ha ha

The cops were a fucking joke at that Newcastle Cup tie. The segregation "barrier" was a line of "do not cross" ribbon and a few cops. Just before KO some Geordies broke through it and it all kicked off, the cops started arresting City fans almost at random. Some Blues went down onto the concourse and then the cops wouldn't let them back up to the terracing when the trouble died down. Then after Joe Royle(?) scored our opening goal there was more scrapping and some fans spilled onto the pitch to get away from it. It was a nice warm-up for a trip to Elland Rd in the next round!

A friend of mine used to hire the Godfrey Abbot United bus for some away games....not sure if anyone remembers but I'm sure it had United emblazoned on the side of the coach.....so it had to prk miles away from the ground.....didn't like the advertising on the bus....but we thought we were important travelling to a match with tables on the coach!

The biggest ever away following at Elland rd ,,,,,, and yet we have no fans or history ?
 
Never forget this game, I am sure a Leeds fan ran across the pitch at one point from their end and started goading city fans behind the goal and because he wasn't wearing
colours a copper didn't realise he was Leeds got a grip of him and threw him in to the blues !!
Talk about being thrown to the lions ! does anyone remember this ?
Sweet revenge the game a season after won 2 1
