1968:
Drew 1-1 with Liverpool (Home) on the Saturday.
6th Round Replay at Anfield on the Tuesday (drew 1-1)
Went to the 2nd Replay on the Thursday at Maine Rd (won 2-1). 15,000 Albion fans.
Leeds Away a day and a half later (Saturday). Albion absoluteley knackered (so was I, after getting home 3am Fri morning) - lost 3-1. But Leeds fans were unusually great that day. Clapped us onto the pitch, singing "Ee Aye Adio, Liverpool's out the Cup"! (Only about 300 of us, but unusually no trouble).
That's the only time I've ever not hated Leeds, due to their usually horrible fans. Hope the coppers look after us tonight, 50 years later, after we give them another 4-1 hiding.
