That memory will live with me forever Wolfy. They used to call Smith the Anfield Iron and I said at the time he must have metal fatigue.
Their pitch wasn't a patch on the Belle Vue bowling green either.

I was at both games and the one at Anfield in the third round sometime in the 60's when we lost 2-0

January 1969

The noise when Callaghan or Thompson got the ball out wide was something I always remember

Great performance by us - and also remember Tommy Smith going into Pancho Regan intent on "stopping" him ... but JR kept on going leaving Smithy writhing on Half way


60 mins I recall but time changes things!

I was in the end opposite the Kop singing you'll never walk Alone, we'll support you evermore etc. and wonder where the other 10,000 or so around me disappeared to over the next four seasons.

A bit similar to the extra 10,000 that went to Wembley then ?

there was no resting players then, it was the full Liverpool side we played at Anfield.
Well not quite. They fielded a couple of rookies in defence who never played for Liverpool again. For one poor sod it was his one and only appearance.

Extra 20000 as we had 27000 at Wembley.

I wonder how many of the 27000 Rovers tickets were bought by Leeds fans with Donny postcodes though because there were plenty of them in "our end".

At least we enjoyed our day more than they did theirs.🙂
I remember the relegation season when there were two clowns unfurling a Balby Whites flag at the end opposite thenLeeds Kop. They quietened down after Billy scored but I suppose they had the last laugh on the final day of the season. To be fair though I've lived in Bradford since 1978 and generally have only had respect from both Leeds and Bradford City fans for sticking with my team. They aren't all bad and a lot of Leeds fans over here don't class Donny Whites as proper Leeds fans.

And the turnout at Cardiff? And I meant the JPT not us who were there for the 7 goal mauling in THAT season.......

Saying that I have to say Ninnian was good especially Uttleys goal from the halfway, over the years apart from the disaster season Ninnian wasn't bad.....

Can remember that dentists must have been busy for replay - I think most of School boys in Donny had an appointment that day
The then head of Ridgewood Atkinson threatened any pupil absent on the replay afternoon with expulsion. He would have faced an empty school as the entire school walked out! I was a school governor at the time who thought him pompous and laughed my head off.
