Just what is the problem ? The club has never shaken off this image.

Merry Christmas !!! 
Got a dvd of this game and the replay, plenty of hard bone crunching and violent tackles from both sides in both games,, in the days of only one sub, Chelsea goalkeeper Peter bonetti could hardly stand up even after8 minutes of treatment with the magic sponge after one clash with a Leeds striker!,, If you enjoy those games that you can hear the crowd "wooooor-ing" when the tackles are going in with mud and blood, it's well worth watching!!

Remember watching this. Wasn't there 2 replays?

Didn’t David Ellery ‘ referee’ a tv recording of the replay, and would have booked all but one player, and sent off 6ish?
Proper football, for proper men.

I was a Leeds fan then, and middle brother Chelsea (he still sort of is). I was disappointed. To say the least.
I love the way the action replay was of the shot a minute later, not the assault.
The only reason there weren't broken legs and necks every week was because the players were too slow and unfit (and small and light - 6 foot and 12 stone was a Big Lad) to cause the sort of damage you'd see today with 1970s mores.

No just the draw at Wembley on a pitch ripped up by the Horse of the Year Show not long before then the replay at Old Trafford.

I was a Leeds fan too as a kid and I was devastated at this result....and the Sunderland cup final.....and the European Cup final. They had a great team but never quite reached the heights of subsequent champions - Liverpool, Man U, Man C.
