50 years ago this weekend, 03/01/1970 we were robbed once again by absolutely shite refereeing decisions which denied us of a memorable FA Cup giant killing.
Leeds United: Sprake; Reaney, Cooper; Bremner, Charlton, Hunter; Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, Giles, Madeley. Unused Sub: Yorath.
Swansea Town: Millington; Lawrence, Gomersall; Slee, Nurse, Thomas; L. Allchurch Screen, H. Williams, Gwyther, B. Evans. Unused Sub: Rosser.
Referee: Mr D.A. Corbett (Wolverhampton).
A wonderful day out, great match (despite the result) and a brilliant trip back on the train with goalkeeper Tony Millington. 😇
I just wish the excitement of the FA Cup that was alive and well 50 years ago was still here today. |  |

More than memorable, it would have sent shockwaves through football like Colchester did a year later and Hereford did against the geordies. In those days it was the equivalent of winning the league. In fact, maybe more so, as the cup final day eclipsed any other in the football calendar. Ruined by money. |  |

A great, long, day. Obviously the result was against us but we played well considering the team they put out against us. As we’ve seen so many times since, the decisions go with the bigger clubs. If we’d had VAR that day the penalty would not have been given, and Clarke would have been sent off too. The joys of watching the Swans all these years eh. |  | | |
