Astle, already in my bad books for Wembley 1968 cemented himself further into my hate list by missing a sitter against Brazil in 1970. He got a bit of a reprieve by scoring a debatable goal against Leeds at Elland Road which let us open a gap on our way to the title that year.
Bad day that!!Viv bloody Busby!!
No reprieve for Jeff really Tommy as that game was the following 70-71 season so didn't assist us at all!!
Really? I'm off to check. I've had it in my mind that Astle scored a dubious goal beating Leeds 3-1 putting paid to Leeds keeping the pressure on us.
Think it was the one where he stopped thinking he was offside, then carried on to score at Elland Road,Leeds went mental!!
Stand corrected. That was the goal I'm thinking of but was 70/71 season.
No need whatsoever to apologise Tommy,it was a long,long time ago mate!!
That game was on the big match revisiited do they only have us on when we play rubbish ....?
