I was there that day as the used the side Turnstile to take Gwladys street - Got in the paddock to see the bloodbath as knives & weapons were in use - ST John's Ambulance men with stretchers with blood dripping through the canvas running past me towards the park end - I think 2 or 3 Millwall fans died .... we got beat 2-0 in the FA Cup that day - awful scenes from the travelling fans - v the Gwladys street - a non contest .....
When we had title winning sides we could not win at Elland road - we put up great performances, but they just kicked bits out of us - The referees were always ignorant to stop it - Giles & hunter were disgusting ....
Bremner was the worst.
Out of the 11 - 5-7 were bad or disgusting - The Catts fault letting Bobby Collins go there in the first place .....
My old man still harks on about Leeds being our bogey team from those days
Recall the second attempt, I also think Robson was a perfect fit for us too, shame Moore's couldn't be more discreet.
I think until Rooney scored in that 1-0 win at Elland Road we hadn’t won there since a 2-1 win when we were in the second division, Dave Hickson got one of the goals. We were not in the same division for a lot of those years I must add!!
I think 1951 was when we had our last league win at that toilet pre that Rooney game.
He hated Elland Road but he was a bit of "lad" in his day and he said going there was a guaranteed beef somewhere but never a win on the pitch. To see him now hard to believe he liked to throw a few haymakers
I have got memories of Leeds battering Southampton 7-0 and Leeds knocking the ball around the pitch
I think this game is available on YouTube they defo knew how to play too.
I recall taking my spec in the Paddock and as I came onto the terrace all I saw was a trail of Londoners being led up the pathway alongside the pitch by St. John's Ambulance volunteers and they were all swathed in bloodstained bandages and towels.
