Wrong and dangerous: England vs Scotland, April '67
For now, to Wolstenholme, Jack Charlton was "That brave, limping, England hero," but England were still 2-1 down with less than five minutes left.

I always used to look below the ball, to where John Lukic lies, because as far as I knew when I was nine he was Leeds United's goalkeeper
If modern goalkeeping is a matter of passing the ball accurately until you concede a goal to either an unstoppable shot or through either your own or someone else's error and then looking like you don't care, there seems to be nothing to lose.
The question for Leeds United is, how to exist in hell? To sign the players we want, win the games we want, sing the songs we want? It's what Marching on Together means — a turn inward to ourselves. We can't escape hell, but we can turn our backs on it.
Leeds and West Brom are on the same side of the fighting against the teams below. As such you could take this match as pure sport, a game to decide nothing except who has the better team.
This was Leeds United's first ever 5-4 win, but when I go to live on my eternal island alone, let me take a videotape of the Nordic broadcast of 1991's 5-4 defeat to Liverpool instead. Not this. I loved this and my team won, but I wouldn't know what to do with me and a tape of this game forever.
We looked at the league table as if seeing it properly for the first time. Leeds United in 1st place. Secure in the automatic promotion places by eleven points. I said last season it was going to be fascinating to see how Leeds messed it up and, well, I was right. This season?
Luke Ayling dragged Klich to the ground for a celebratory pile-on as if he's been missing those long-range Klichers as much as Mateusz. They should enjoy them, too.
What we do, as fans of football or music, is strange. It's getting stranger. And it's amazing how often it isn't what we want. Some fans want a new Rihanna album and some want Leeds United to win the league, but we'll all settle, in the meantime, for thinking about what they're both wearing.
We've been preoccupied with sexy this season. And a point in Sheffield ain't that.
