What do we think?
The victory against Ipswich left Leeds on the brink of regaining the league title in the 1973/74 season, something that was achieved four days later without playing another game, as Liverpool lost to Arsenal.
And, from their comments, it is clear to see how the footage has brought back many happy memories to the Leeds fans who were lucky enough to witness the victory, in addition to the spectacular strike by Lorimer.
