55 years ago

Yes, I'd have guessed around then. I think Trevor Hockey was on the left wing for City, before he became a tough tackling midfielder and played at quite a high level. Died very young.

Can you get the teams anywhere? I rather doubt it, although the clubs should have records.

Mitchell Downie was probably in goal for City. Remember him?

LEEDS UNITED 4, LIVERPOOL 5
April 13, 1991

LEEDS UNITED: Lukic, Sterland, Whitlow, Batty, Fairclough, Whyte, Strachan, Shutt, Chapman, McAllister, Speed.
LIVERPOOL: Hooper, Hysen, Staunton, Nicol, Molby, Burrows, Beardsley, Houghton, Rush, Barnes, Speedie.

That was shortly after the break up of an excellent Leeds side.

Still a few there that won the title.

or was it the same season that they won the League?

Not many foreigners either. Went full cycle.

Just before Kenny. Leeds won the last old title before the advent of the Premier League which would have been the 92/93 season I think.

I remember the 5-4 Bradford defeat at West Ham. Enough for Di Canio to have a complete paddy, throw his toys out of the pram, then decide to have another go and promptly open his autobiography about the entire match.

What a midfield that was. Batty, Strachan, McAllister and Speed.

From game report :

United and Liverpool were meeting at Elland Road for the first time in nine years and what a humdinger the contest, played in front of a crowd of 31,640 turned out to be.

Nine goals, some stunning football and a staggering second half fight-back that featured a remarkable hat-trick from Lee Chapman, stamped this as the game that had everything - except, in United's case, any league points.

Add to that the great spirit in which the game was played, oustanding ability, great vision, awareness, intelligence, bravery, arrogance and, yes, embarrassment were all in evidence in one of the most extraordinary matches I have seen.

United, in their first season back in the top flight, were more than holding their own. In fact they were in the top four at the time of this game.

That's right Eternal'. It's coming back to me now, was the last time I attended Elland Road around then.

Yet Rangers saw it off both home and away.

My memory is very hazy around that time

No.....I don't remember it....maybe it never happened?

The past doesn't exist....or the future.....it is always now !
