    Me too, spent far too much money bidding for the photo as me and my mate thought we were right in line with it in the east - got the bloody thing and we both agreed that we were just out of shot! The folly of youth

    Jeezo, I’m getting goosebumps and a hint of vertigo from that terracing. What a thing of beauty it was.

    Anyone got pics of the stairs on the other side?

    Eddie Gray didn't play. Possibly Frank?

    The team was Shaw (Letheran); Reaney, Cherry; Bremner, Ellam, Yorath; Lorimer, Clarke, Jordan, Bates, F. Gray.

    7th November 1973

    Interesting piece from Peter Lorimer:-

    Peter Lorimer claimed that Leeds “wanted out” of the competition and fielded a team of young, mainly Scottish players together with himself and Billy Bremner, who appreciated the trip back home to Scotland. Hibs were quoted at odds of 3-1 and the Leeds players had clubbed together to put £500 on the hosts. He said of the game, “Billy was playing sweeper, that’s how seriously Don was taking it, and he was back-heeling it here, messing about there and joking his way through the game. Unfortunately young John in goal was wanting to make a name for himself. He was not in on the scam and was flinging himself about left and right, making fabulous saves, until he got injured and had to go off. He was replaced by an even younger lad, a Welsh kid called Glan Letheran, and we thought ‘we are in here, Glan will be nervous’. Sure enough he was just as agile as John had been and, come what may, Hibs could not get the ball in the net until, with ten minutes to go, they broke clear down the right, the cross came over and their inside-forward headed home. We gave each other a knowing look, winked and whispered ‘thank God for that’. But the linesman had put his flag up and, despite our protestations that it was all right, the goal was disallowed. At full time, with the scores level, we had done our money. All bets are settled, of course, on ninety minutes. It went to penalties and Don’s view was that, having come so far, we might as well do our best now to win it. Damned right! We needed to win the match to collect the bonuses to cover the bet! And win it we did.”

    I am utterly gobsmacked to read this!

    Presumably Lorimer's autobiography?

    Incidentally great thread.

    Bremner gave the best individual performance I have ever seen in that game at sweeper covering everything no way on this earth he wasnt trying as would have been so easy to throw the game if he wanted to.

    To check this I'm going to have to invest £3.31 on ebay for a used copy of that Lorimer Autobiog unless CropleyWG offers his??

    Surely cannot be true?
    Was Lorimer such as to make this sort of stuff up?Did he become an alkie and have to sell a book?

    Anyone?

    Save yourself the £3.31. I wouldn't believe a word anybody from that Leeds side said. Then again, a betting scam was right up their street, so you never know.

    I found it on this site, which seems to be an Australian fan site.

    I would be disappointed if it is true.... like many others, I've built up a mythology around that game. Part of that, of course, is that performance by Bremner.

    Yep. Horrible club at the time and managed by a cheat who'd give dodgy dave a run for his money.

    I was there and as an impressional youth back in the day I was a bit in awe of bremners all round performance. Imagine if he'd actually been trying

    Excellent, I was sure someone would come back and tell me that

    I’m gutted because I had a season ticket at the back of the next section along.

    How things have changed over the years...

    Me and my big brother went to the game on the bus, I was 7 and my brother was 12. My Dad was working back shift in the Post Office and said he would meet us there, just stand in the usual place!!!

    As you can see in the photo, ER was busting at the seems Lol it took my Dad half an hour to wade through the fans as he came in the Dunbar end but had to walk to the 2nd tier in line with the 18 yard box near the cave end (FF to you young ones).

    Bloody memories - Fantastic

    PS I loved standing right at the front of the 2nd tier where there was a walkway, I could see all the game as there was no one in front of me and I could also watch everyone fighting and chucking beer cans into the opposite supporters who were about 30 feet away!! Imagine that happening now?
