Dirty Leeds 10:31 - Apr 27 with 776 views | Oldsmoker | Eeeee, when I wus a lad, Leeds were known as 'dirty' Leeds as they kept kicking their opponents. With no subs back then, they figured that if the other side went down to 10 men they'd win the match. They usually achieved this within the first few minutes of a game as the ref was always reluctant to send anyone off for their first foul. Fast forward to today and guess who's bottom of the Fair Play league? It's Leeds, 486 fouls in 33 matches. 93 yellows. https://www.football365.com/news/feature-premier-league-most-fouls-fair-play-tab | |

Dirty Leeds on 14:48 - Apr 27 with 499 views | Churchman | They’ll always be dirty Leeds to me, as I constantly remind an LUFC supporting chum of mine. This article on the 1970 Cup Final replay is worth a read. There is film out there of this game. Brutal doesn’t really cover it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52416192 [Post edited 27 Apr 2022 15:04]
