Rest in peace, Kevin.
👮♂️👮♀️On this day 1975. Leeds were robbed by a ref in a European Cup final.
This is why fans still sing "we are champions, champions of Europe" at games.

39 - Leeds United have reached their first FA Cup semi-final since 1986-87 (39 years ago); the biggest gap between semi-final appearances since Leicester City in 2020-21 (also 39), who went on to lift the trophy that campaign. Dream.
Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’.
Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport?
If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.
Magnifique! 🤩

On This Day: In 2000, 5,000 Leeds fans travelled to Rome to witness a Nigel Martyn masterclass.
