Help The Oldies : Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:35 am  
Hoping you guys night be able to help ?? My brother and I are in our 40's and started watching Leeds after the 1978 wembley cup final....all through those barren subsequent frustrating years. You young uns don't know how lucky you are to have such a brilliant winning team. lol.
Basically for the life of us we can't remember who played loose forward in that final ?? Can't find anything on google. Help ! Dave Heron definitely came later we remember. My bro thinks Neil Hague...I say rubbish.

Off the top of my head the pack that day consisted of.

Mick Harrison, David Ward, Steve Pitchford
Graham Eccles, Phil Cookson, Roy Dickinson.

Backs were (again off the top of my head)

Willie Oulton, David Smith, John Atkinson, Neil Hague, Les Dyl, Sammy Sanderson (or was it Kevin Dick), John Holmes.

Doesnt really help I guess.

You're right, and when jam-packed into the standing areas behind the goals at Wembley you also had the advantage that you both couldn't get out of the crowd to use the toilets nor did you have to as everyone just p1ssed where they stood :lol:

We sat down in 77 right on the halfway line, two nights in the Strand Palace and the best seats in the house - thats why the Queenswood Club trip was so popular :lol:
