Product Description

Upsets don't come much bigger than this. After defeating Arsenal in the Centenary Cup final of 1972 and, already in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup, Leeds were now chasing their second Wembley triumph in successive seasons, and the pundits didn't give Bob Stokoe's second division Sunderland a prayer. But Sunderland got their tactics spot on. Tackling defiantly with an unremitting determination, Leeds looked edgy, and the match itself was decided by two crucial moments that would be talked about for years to come. The first came on 31 minutes, when Ian Porterfield swept home a sweet volley fromthe edge of the area to open the scoring and send the Sunderland fans into raptures.
