And I'm too old to remember lol

Ferguson went over one of our defenders backs and came down head first, doctors on and ages before it restarted. I remember thinking f*** me this is serious. I cannot remember the opposition or who went in goal though for the life of me

I was right... Watford Hammer remembers it better than I do in another thread....

Yes I do. If I remember rightly Ferguson came out to collect a high through ball and went over one of our defenders - not sure who and he just landed smack on the back of his neck. The ground went silent and he just lay there and we all though he had beroken his neck.
The ball bounced loose and a Leeds striker (Mick Jones?) tried to score but another defender cleared it off the line. I don't think the whistle went until the ball went out of play.
There was a really long delay and Bobby was stretchered off and being the days before the internet no-one knew how he was for several days afterwards.

I'll give it a while longer then mail again. It's amazing how the record drifts, I'll wager that there's many kits on there from the early days that didn't exist. The one they've got listed 1897-99 did exist but only the goalkeeper wore the red sash shown, it was to differentiate him from the rest of the team in the days before keepers jerseys. I wonder if we should put together a KUMB archive ?
I think UTJ is aiming to do something similar, starting with scanning all our programmes online.
I think we should you know.
I would also like to see a report of every single game we have ever played, that will take some work though.
Westham stats have them going back a few years but there are huge gaps.

Yes, that was the league cup second replay.
Clyde was meant to go in goal but the occasion got to him.
Clyde went in goal when Fergie was injured in the Leeds match(I think).

It shouldn't be too difficult to catalogue the kits, Historical Kits and a few other sites have basically already done it. It would be a case of using one of their compilations and throwing it open for people here to challenge it with evidence that a certain kits wrong and should be removed, or with evidence for a kit that's not there which should be included....

The beauty of it would be that we would have control of it so it wouldn't drift, I'm always contacting Historical Kits where somethings drifted. Anything taken out would need to be proven wrong with good evidence and anything added would also need good evidence...

Unlike the early stuff that we struggled with there are colour photo's of later stuff so most of it is straightforward and not arguable....

It would need somebody good with graphics though like the guy who does the header to CHs daily news thread, somebody who could produce graphics of the kits...

I wonder what the boss might think ?

The Stoke replay was when Bobby Moore went in goal, saved the penalty but it was put in on the rebound. I remember that quite clearly. I should remember the game when Ferguson was knocked out by one of our defenders but I only remember the incident, not the opposition or who went in goal. The Boleyn went eerily silent, people thought he'd broken his neck or worse....

Are you thinking of the Leeds game where Ferguson made the most ugliest of landings and looked like he had broke his neck, but the dirty Leeds players under Don Revie kept playing on. They wondered why everyone hated them!

I think it must be as you're the second bloke to say Leeds and it's Leeds in the photo of Clyde Best in goal.

He got injured against Stoke at Old Trafford mate when bobby moore went in goal,i'm pretty certain he got a clattering during the leeds game at the Boleyn in 78 when it looked like he'd broken his neck,interestingly it was Derek Hales last game for us.
