THE "L" DERBY

17th April 1971 Hooliganism was an ever-present problem in the 70s with one particularly bad incident at Elland Road in April 1971. Leeds were involved in a tight battle with Arsenal for the League title and in a crucial match against WBA, referee Ray Tinkler allowed a clearly off-side goal. The ref was jostled during a pitch invasion which followed. Leeds lost the match 1-2 and were pipped by a point by Arsenal for the title. Their punishment for the incident was a four-match banishment from Elland Road at the start of the 1971/72 season.

BUT if all games were like this one......!!!
