As a 16 year old travelling in from Bradford I used to go to all the home games. I was at this game, just above the Leeds crossbar in the cop end, we could have had ten that day. I was also at the Leeds 5 Man Utd 1 match too, we ran them ragged. What a team that was. MOT
Happy days! It has to be Leeds United's most memorable league game. Barry Davies commentary was superb. " Southampton just don't know what day it is, it's almost cruel!"
I was at this game. If I remember correctly, Leeds beat Southampton 7-0, Man Utd 5-1 and Notts Forest 6-1 in the same month, as a fan you just never expected they would lose. There will never be a Leeds team close to them and had they had a fair crack of the wip with refs and the FA they would have won much more. We naively thought only foreign refs were corrupt, but the Tinkler incident showed us otherwise.
That's OK we've since been beaten 9-0 twice in recent years. Gettin' used to it. Poor old Fry had a torrid game and paid the price - he never played for Saints again and was transferred. And Hassentaclue has still got his job.
Talk about pressing and winning the ball back to play forward again...This was total football Dutch style if you look at Bremner sitting in at CH whilst Madeley made inroads.... Interchangeable players always. Revie and the team- so much maligned- in some ways yes, but in others, what a set of players.
