Easily the MOTM by a long way. Lost count of how many times he skinned the defence when he took them on! And Terry Cooper caused massive problems down that left side also. And Billy was the usual nachine! After playing 3 semi finals, another replay (and extra time) was always going to be tough. It was one that got away for sure, but tremendous performance that really made me feel proud to be Leeds.
Agree Rev about state of pitches one of biggest changes these days is the consistent quality of the pitches.
