Re: Nostalgia
4th March 1972
Leeds United 7 Southampton 0
Two weeks earlier we had destroyed Scum in a truly epic game but little did we know the best was still to come. In the first couple of minutes Mick Channon had a shot saved by Gary Sprake but the rest of the game we were totally dominant absolutely superb what team what a performance, I was there to witness it. Despite this master class in football that Billy & the lads put on, the press were still critical of us for what they decided was “ show boating “ & being unsportsmanlike in victory. At one point Leeds put 39 passes together to a chorus of “ Ole, Ole “ against a devastated Saints team. “ It’s almost cruel “ winced Barry Davies in commentary. What a glorious day & probably this victory showed we weren’t just Dirty Leeds but a magnificent team.

Re: Nostalgia
Was a few other cracking matches around that time didn't we beat a very good Arsenal side 3-0 later that month, destroyed them in first half but took foot off the gas in the 2nd.
No easing up against Forest 6-1 if I recall.
In between we beat Spurs 2-1 in the cup which seems ordinary but would have been in double figures but for their goalie, a certain Pat Jennings if memory is correct.

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that Don was mates with the Saints boss & told the players seven goals was enough of a humiliation, hence that wonderful passing “ Ole,Ole”Selby White wrote:Was a few other cracking matches around that time didn't we beat a very good Arsenal side 3-0 later that month, destroyed them in first half but took foot off the gas in the 2nd.

The Bristol Rovers game had everything was an unbelievable atmosphere. Love this clip.

Not sure that this qualifies for this thread but I just remembered what I had for breakfast.
I once played against Don Revie.

Re: Nostalgia
My whole family went to this one, which meant three of us had to stand with Blades fans, but felt like I was in the lucky half as we were stood directly in line with Mel Sterland's thunderbolt! Happy days at 20 in my prime and The Stone Roses breaking https://youtu.be/_n5y6VvMNZ0
Re: Nostalgia
Just watched the slightly longer highlights of this game. Lorimer had a blinding game with the 3 goals. I noticed a faint chant during the game of You'll never walk alone? I'm presuming it was the Leeds fans. I never realised Leeds used to chant YNWA. Thank goodness for MOT!NottinghamWhite wrote:4th March 1972

Re: Nostalgia
Sang YNWA many times back in the day nothing better than the Gelderd with scarves & banners raised. It was a popular chant at many grounds. ( a little like We Are The Champions Of Europe is these days ) We probably started the chant after that incredible night at Anfield in 1969.Viduka Hits The Mark wrote:
