I was thinking Frank Worthington for a minute, had forgotten about Nigel. Jeez, Pemberton and Tinkler. Reminds me of when I went semi regularly and played the mid/late versions of championship manager when we had Rush and a faded Yeboah. It just needed Willem Korsten and Pierre Laurent to give me a proper flashback. Big Bobby Molenaar and Robert Hiden. Alan Maybury and George Graham’s dogs of war. 30-07-95: Benfica (n) 0-0 (Leeds lost 5-6 on penalties) (HT 0-0) Crowd (?) Shirt No. Player Name Goals Scored 1. Beeney, Mark 2. Kelly, Gary 3. Worthington, Nigel 4. Tinkler, Mark 5. Pemberton, John 6. Wetherall, David 7. Wallace, Rod 8. Deane, Brian 9. Yeboah, Tony 10. McAllister, Gary 11. Speed, Gary Andy Gray replaced Mark Tinkler at Right Half and Noel Whelan came on for Rod Wallace at Outside Right. John Lukic, Phil Masinga, Lee Sharpe and Andy Couzens were the unused substitutes for Leeds. David Wetherall received his marching orders in the second half, which made United's already difficult task, even harder. The game went to penalties and both teams converted the first five but after a long delay Noel Whelan hit United's sixth attempt against the crossbar. In the final Mamelodi Sundowns beat Kaiser Chiefs 3-0.
