Buckwheat Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Talking about old players in the pub and I remember him scoring a couple of goals in a game against Leeds. Surprised to find out in the 7 years at Hillsborough he only played 23 games. Funny how the mind plays tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 the highlights we're on l**ds tv at 10-30pm... din't l**ds score first in the replay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I think they did. L××ds won the league that year so it was arguably our best result that season. 3-1 away win. Mind you we did beat the current European champs 5-4 at Hillsborough as well. Great days. Still don't know how we went down the following season.

Germanowl Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 That 5-4 against Man. Utd in 68/69 was one of my first games. Super hattrick from Jack Witham too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 My favourite moment in the game at Elland Road came as we were beginning to run the clock down. Their fans were becoming quite irritated by this, we were given a free kick that Peter Eustace took an age over. First off it took a discussion or two to decide who would be taking the kick about 35 yards out, eventually Eustace wiped his boots on the back of his socks a couple of times. As the referee was coming over Eustace commenced his run up and blasted the ball out of the ground. hOwled with laughter as the Leeds fans went crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickjj Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Out of all the matches I have seen between the two teams this one takes top billing. Still got the cuttings from the Star the next day with the "Wonderful Woodall" headlines. still remember Peter Eustace putting the ball over the stand to help run the clock down. We even got back home in time to watch the highlighta on TV. Sadly Brian Woodall is no longer with us but he is etched in Wednesday's folklore because of that night. This is a great article from a Weeds fan about the tie with lots of good photos and match reports http://www.ozwhitelufc.net.au/08-01-1969%20LUFC%20v%20Sheffield%20Wednesday.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
