Hope the news gets to the Leeds fans or they'll probably spend tomorrow afternoon singing 'Champions of Europe' or something equally absurd. Imagine that.

No such problems a couple of years later though.
Really enjoyed that clip, Boston. I've never seen the extended highlights before - brilliant team to watch, though obviously poignant when we all know what happened ten days later.
I was five then and we'd just moved back to Ireland for the first time. My Dad and I listened to a dodgy reception of the World Service as Wolves beat Liverpool...all to fifteen minutes as Liverpool overtook them and us. We both cried, my Dad and I, me because I didn't know the world could be so cruel, he because he knew it could.

I do remember as a nipper watching the Bayern Leeds game and thinking something was a bit awry with the officiating but reading about it recently Leeds should've been down to 10 men after 5 minutes when Terry Yorath put a German in hospital with a two-footer. Should've been a straight red. A case of swings roundabouts and broken stadium seats.
Champions of Europe my ar.se. Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Abba. But not Leeds.

Supporting any English team in Europe seemed to be the norm in those days. However my eleven year old self was delighted that the Bavarians beat Leeds that night. One of only two games in which I have wanted Bayern Munich to win.

You're right DP, they should have been down to 10 after 3 minutes. Uli Hoeness called Terry Yorath's tackle 'the most brutal foul I've ever seen'. Judge for yourself here. It's seen more clearly in the reverse angle slo mo at 0:49
No doubt though they were robbed of a penalty towards the end of the first half (44:24)
The offside 'goal' by Lorimer when the score was still 0-0 twenty minutes into the second half is also marginal at best (20:35)
Not sure whether karma has been at play but every time since then Bayern have played an English team in a European Cup final they have lost them in fairly dramatic circumstances (1982, 1999 and cough, splutter, spit 2012).
