I would love it if Pellers sparks a pipe up on the bench tonight, like the Leeds manager on that clip.

It was revenge for the cup defeat the season before.
At the end of the match the City fans were kept inside and while we were waiting inside the gate Leeds fans outside were chucking bricks and bottles over the wall.
Once out of the ground the walk back to the city centre was uneventful.
Leeds fans were always more bark than bite.
Hi Colin or anyone else who can remember. I’m discussing the Jan Cup 78 Cup tie at Elland Road on another forum. I’ve told the Leeds fans that the guy Joe Corrigan rugby tackled was a Blue. Can anyone remember if that’s true and do you have any more details. I seem to think the Blue was from Cheetham Hill or Prestwich but I could well be wrong. ThanksWhat a day that was! I'd gone over with some friends but was meeting two other mates who lived in Leeds. One was a Leeds fan and the other a blue so we had seats together in the main stand. Afterwards, the City fans were kept in which just gave the Leeds fans time to get round from their end.
I had to walk back to the car so took my time as I didn't want to get caught on the car park on my own. I had my scarf well concealed round my waist under my jumper so wasn't bothered. As I walked past the City end, there was a hail of missiles going both ways and I just kept my head down and kept walking. A few minutes later they let the City fans out and there was a huge charge. The Leeds fans ran in the same direction I was going and behind them there were hundreds of Blues chasing them. The Leeds fans all ran past me but then I realised I was likely to get a kicking from the Blues. So I quickly had to retrieve my scarf and waved it around as the Blue horde got to me.
Just a normal away trip to Leeds.
