 Leeds United 1966-67 No.0095 |
|
Description:
Another first for Don Revie's Leeds United in the season 1966-67 when The Whites fought their way to the Inter City Fairs Cup final. United eventually lost the final over two legs on goal difference to Croation side Dinamo Zagreb. A record crowd of 57,892 which still stands today at Elland Road saw United beat Sunderland in a FA Cup 5th Round replay and Leeds Marched On to the Semi Final of the competition that season only to be controversially knocked out by Chelsea at Villa Park. Referee K.H. Burns disallowed a perfectly good goal for Leeds, the goal coming from a Johny Giles free-kick who rolled the ball to Peter Lorimer, Lorimer smashed it home but the referee astonishingly ordered the free kick to be taken again because the Chelsea wall was not ten yards from the ball. United finished a decent 4th in the league with a notable 3-1 win over eventual Champions Manchester United at Elland Road with goals from Reaney, Lorimer and Madeley.
