It is an old Chestnut thread but what a match decent actual player's on both sides but they really did not like each other and Tippy Tappy Dave Sexton gave ugly football a lesson by matching them so much so that Leeds 'style' of football has never gone away.

Referee David Elleray reviewed the replay in 1997, and concluded that the sides would have received six red cards and twenty yellow cards in the modern era.
The original ref ,Eric Jennings only booked one player , Peter Houseman, in what has been described as the most brutal FA Cup game of all time.

A proper Kickathon, Ron Harris vs Norman Hunter would have been a decent Boxing Bout...
