We won the Fairs cup against them - the second time we won it and the last season of that competition. We won on away goals. It was an unusual break of good luck for Leeds because we were doing well holding them to a 0-0 draw in the first game AWAY, but the match was abandoned in the second half because of torrential rain flooding the pitch. We felt vey hard done by. The match was replayed a couple of days later and we drew 2-2. The second leg at E Rd was a 1-1- draw with the most expensive player in the world at that time in their lineup. (Anastasi ?) So we won the final on away goals. If we had managed the 0-0 draw in the first leg then we would have lost the cup on away goals. Lucky Leeds eh ?
We went on to play Barcelona at the Nou Camp to see who would get to keep the trophy permanently and lost 2-1 . ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Murray To: Rick Duniec Cc: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2014 1:08 PM Subject: Re: [LU] new leeds manager?
