Customer Reviews

Memories are made of this......
As a 20 year old at the time I was one of just millions around the country who wanted the 'underdogs' Sunderland to win against the mighty Leeds but realistically you thought that the senior; Division one side would eventually blow away the plucky 2nd Division outfit but no! from the outset Sunderland took the game to Leeds, it was a time when fooballers were real men and there was tough tackling but nothing dirty, there was no feighing injury, no disputing referee's decisions, just end to end great football for 90 minutes and a fairy tale ending, I have watched this game on numerous occasions and still get the same pleasure as I did in 1973.
