Lost this game but won all nine out of the ten remaining games as Villa got promotion. Returned to the Promised Land after eight years away from the top flight. Fantastic achievement for both club and manager Ron Saunders.
laurie cunningham played for real madrid in the euro cup final v LFC in 1981, only six years after this. he was sadly killed a car crash in Spain. · On the morning of July 15, 1989, Cunningham was involved in a fatal car accident at the age of just 33.
Proper footy on a quagmire of a pitch that gives you drama. Today's perfect pitches are too perfect, taking the grittiness out of football. Yes pitches had to improve & they did & by the 1990s you had good pitches made out of purely turf on a bed of earth still giving normal football & yes the football, that ping pong ball they use now is too fast & made tackling extinct. Get rid of that too.
That was a good interview with Ricky Heppolette there.
I love how they read everyone’s addresses out on the letters. Data Protection was not even a glint….
Laurie Cunningham was taken too soon. He was brilliant!
The back pass rule was the greatest change to football. A pity it was not brought in much earlier.

One of the great musical intros in tv history.
Ofcourse I've heard of Laurie Cunningham but never knew he played for the Orient....what a star he became 👍👍👍
A shocking result for Leeds United away to Luton Town. Well done to the Hatters.
A great Burnley team of yday
Brisbane Road ground - still there in Apr - 2023. 48 years later!

And Leeds were in the semi final of the European cup going on to knock Barca out.

Overpaid and overrated players too, today.
Loved how Brian Moore made the game seem more exciting than it was 😅
Luton-Leeds beach-grass football!
was that Mr Tinkler causing a bit of controversy at WHL ?? ( Salvador Dali on 18.15 !! )
That intro music ! My youth in a nutshell
Why was grealish wearing no 2 when he was left back ? I thought no 2 was right back in those days !
Was Ricky Heppolette the only Asian footballer in the football league at that time?
What’s that green stuff around the edge of the pitch?
They were just testing some seedlings out too see if it would grow. They declined.
Disgraceful abuse of Cunningham by the Villa fans.
Where?
This is just before Leeds got robbed in the final of the European cup..And wasn’t Man U languishing in the second division..? Then were the days 😂
Where are Leeds now?
Didn’t know Jimmy Rimmer played for Manchester United, great games. Great haircuts those days.
Jimmy Rimmer was second keeper to Alex Stepney, then Arsenal again second keeper to Bob Wilson & when Bob left he took over.
