Today is the 32nd anniversary of Leeds beating Southampton 7-0 and taking the piss on MOTD. There was a big game that day but I can't think what it was...

Yes, Joe, I think there was some sort of game against Chelsea on this day in '72. ;D ;D

Happy anniversary to the Class of 72. RIP - Waddo - the best man and the best manager we ever had.

The thing is I remember well the crowd at a game against Leicester chanting Waddington out. Of course he left on the Monday after.
Hindsights a wonderful thing ut would any of those chanting it, and there were thousands of them, admit to it now?

I remember the game as well Joe - and I wasn't one of the ones chanting. Waddo was delt a lousy hand by the board. He produced the goods on the pitch. They didn't do their bit off the pitch by insuring the Butler Street stand properly. From the day the roof blew off we, and he, were doomed.

No1 Stokie, it wasn't very nice actually. You didn't miss much.
Remember though we recovered from that relegation quite sharpish. We went back up after two years. We were a competent top flight side until the bloody bastard POMO. Thats thee thing we haven't recovered from.
