Blades 2 (Colquhoun, Dearden) Bolton 2 (Hulme, Phillips)

I remember the ref being Roy Capey who had hit the sports headline a month earlier for allowing a goal that wasnt to stand in the Chelsea v Ipswich game (see video below)



The ref's decisions that evening at Bramall Lane brought frustrations to the players and the crowd too. I remember Woody about to take a throw in, the ref blew his whistle and indicated that it was a throw in for the visitors, Woody's response was to throw the ball down in frustration and he got a talking to. The reaction by the fans in the BLUT showed a lot of anger when Addison got booked for dissent (I think) later in the game.

The only goal I remember was Bolton's 2nd equaliser and Len Badger falling on his knees putting both his hands on his face in horror as his backpass from his head went short for Hodgy and Phillips took advantage to score. It was a big disappointment that we had dropped a home point to a poor side.
