The Elland Road CC replay was quite an experience. Brilliant night obviously but I remember standing at the Kop end (Don Revie Stand now) packed in pens and you literally couldn't move which was scary. Tragically a prelude of what was to happen a few years later at Hillsborough.
Seem to remember it was a Fordyke organised coach trip which was lively on the way back as you can imagine. I didn't over indulge I only had 5 cans as I was only 14 and had school the following morning.
Amazing night!
I got the afternoon off school and me and my Dad where one if the first in the ground. Stood on The Kop. However, due to the roadworks, fans were still coming in at half time. There must have been over 30,000 from Hull there that night and a great atmosphere. We scored two tries in three minutes with the same runaround move from Kemble and Topliss (you don’t see teams do that type of move anymore). Then Crooksie side stepping in from dummy half to clinch it!
