We did well out of VAR there. Great goal by Mick Jones.

Mick Jones - my first (of many) Blades heartbreaks

Two goal scorers. Mick Jones and Allan Clarke. Wonder if Don Revie could see the potential at this match.

I never was a huge fan of Tony Wagstaff but each clip I've seen of matches of that era he's played some useful football.

Punton looked as though he was struggling.

That defence was still experimental after the break up of Coldwell, Shaw(s), Summers and Richardson.

My dad said Tony Wagstaff showed a lot of promise when he was a teenager but wasnt as good two or three years later

Yes, scored twice. We wore all white again in the replay and Fulham all red.

Interesting to note there were no action replays so it was virtually impossible to question a refereeing decision.

It was also good to hear the old classic chant "who's your father, who's your father etc, etc". Not heard that for years!
