  1. They weren’t the tallest floodlights, those were at Boothferry Park, Hull. Leeds had 2 pylons they built at that height when they redeveloped Elland Road as Revie had been impressed when Leeds played Sunderland in a Cup replay at Boothferry Park.Man City equalled the height at Maine Road. But there were 6 pylons at Boothferry Park. They were the tallest pylons in Europe.

  2. Few years later the south bank was half and half when the hooligan element had properly kicked off by the end of the game it was 3/4 Wolves and the Leeds fans were coming out on stretchers they got absolutely battered don’t think they’ve ever forgot it

  3. Service crew in 1972???? There were no crews or firms back then, away fans just turned up in their thousands and entered whichever terrace turnstiles they wanted, policing football matches and crowd segregation was nothing like it is now back then, more often than not it was just weight of numbers when kops were taken, clashes were inevitable when this occurred at grounds up and down the country, been to matches back in the day when away fans were in the ground early on the home end and then the home fans turned up and fighting sometimes went on all throughout the match, it was not that uncommon for 100 to 200 arrests at big games and numerous fans injured!

  4. I was there as a Wolves fan in the North Bank. It was a. Incredible night – there was another four years later vs Ljverpool which was even worse!

  5. I was there 15 yr old with my dad..on the South Bank..my only recollection is quite a vivid memory of a big gate breaking open and people streaming in and of being in a big crushing crowd..can’t recall anything of the game itself
