I remember being at a very foggy ER when the kop chanted 'South stand, south stand what's the score?' Apparently we beat Ferencvaros 3-0 that night, McQueen scoring. Think that was part of the European Cup run. And, of course, Cruijff and Barcelona in the semi

Mick Bates well done NW

2. In 1971 we drew twice in the Fairs Cup final scoring twice at Juventos and once at home to win on away goals.
Which 3 players scored our goals ?
Madeley & Bates in Turin and Clarke at ER

3. Who led the community singing prior to the 1972 FA Cup final (and what colour suit did he wear ) ?
Tommy Steele in a White Suit, remember the Leeds fans singing "Tommys dressed in White, E-i-addio Tommys dressed in White"

4. Who did we beat in the 1973 FA Cup Semi-Final and on which ground ?
It was Wolves at Maine Road, 1-0 Billy got it.

5. Started the season going a record (at the time) 29 league games unbeaten, Where did we lose our first game ?
Stoke 3-2

6. Which 4 teams did we beat to get to the 1975 European Cup Final ?

The other team we beat wasn't Ferencsvaros as MW suggest, right city though but it was their Budapest rivals Ujpest Dozsa.

7. Which 3rd division team put us out of the 1976 FA Cup at Elland Road ?
Crystal Palace with Malcolm Allison in charge in his big Fedora (song of the the day from the Leeds fans "8 gallon hat and a two pint head")

Well don Mr R all four correct Harris, Yorath, Stephenson & Thomas.

9. Who was our top scorer in the league in the 77/78 season (with 20 goals) ?
Ray Hankin :thumbup:

10. Which team did we play away twice in the FA Cup in 1979 ?
Was indeed West Brom drew 3-3 on the Tuesday had to go back on the Thursday (my boss at work wasn't happy), reason we had been ordered to play our home FA cup matches away due to crowd trouble the previous season versus Man City)
For the record we also played West Brom in the league the Saturday before.


11. Back in Europe in 1979 but which two teams did we play in the Uefa Cup ?
Again well done MR R, Valletta City & U Craiova

12. Which Year did the Scratching Shed get knocked down ?
1974 following our last home match v Ipswich so that historic stand finished on a high note as we were champions. Still had to travel to QPR to celebrate.

Luckily enough I knew 10, I didn't have much idea about the Scratching Shed and even though I NOW remember it was Tommy Steele, as I watched it on BBC telly that day, I'd forgotten it since.

BTW it's Stevenson, bud. Great quiz :D

Yes I realised afterwards it was Ujpest Dozsa, but my Hungarian spelling wasn't up to it :lol:

Was I really the only one on here that saw that game? You'd obviously remember the dense fog? Was anyone else on here at any of the games in that cup run?

Didn't miss many games back then and was there but I did miss the Anderlecht home game for some reason I can't recall.
Got to Paris for the final, was doing my apprenticeship at the time and was meant to be at college so just took the week off, my company fortunately didn't find out so I got paid :D
