ashton_fan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The oldies like me will remember one of our best Cup runs in relatively recent years was when we beat Leeds (who were unbeaten in all comps and top fo Div 1 at the time) in the 5th round after a replay at Elland Road which had to be played on a Tuesday afternoon because of strike action by electricity workers (it was still sold out and people left outside because the ground was full), the first game had been featured on MOTD. The next game after that replay on the following Saturday was away to West Brom in the league and of course thousands went up on the back of the cup performances. I remember it was a good game, the result? 2-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
