dunsbyowl Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It's nearly 98 years since Leeds made their 1st visit to Hillsborough - on 9th October 1920 for a 2nd Division league game - #SWFC won 2-0 with both goals by Johnny McIntyre. No mention of any attacks on goalkeepers or outrageous dives in the penalty box! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This report must be of the first meeting at Hillsborough after the reformation. Match report is a damn sight better than rubbish printed in modern news media.

When they went spectacularly bust in 2006/07, got relegated to League 1 and were punished with a 15 point deduction despite the FL classing them as a new entry.
