That's Tommy Smith at Liverpool not Arsenal
Classic!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DiZUJyzO8msWas looking for footage of the old muddy Baseball Ground when I found this.
Ace pic here of Bremner getting involved, and Dave Hill of Slade also seems to have got on the pitch There wasn't any afters in the tunnel though Lee did slam his physio against a wall and knock the doctor flying as he tried to stitch his busted lip.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2647645/My-role-Franny-Lees-minder-great-Norman-Hunter-punch-up.html
Leeds were disliked as much or more for negative rather than dirty play.Usually when they went one up they closed up shop and won.That as much as anything upset people as it made for a poor game.

They both took off their shirts as they walked off after being dismissed.Here's one from the undercard, so to speak. Johnny Giles landing one on Keegan and getting off with a booking! Unlike Bremner, whose bark was much worse than his bite, Giles was a nasty bas**rd.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2BWAL7ADsi0
The best punch I have seen on a pitch was by Kevin Noteman,a short right cross to the chin, and the other player was spark out. After the game I am sure it came to light he had been unbeaten as an amateur boxer before taking up football.
