Emergency services are in attendance dealing with the situation. 'I thought beforehand I was coming to a top club. He took aim at the English pundits who wrote off Celtic, because the Scottish league was a supposedly weaker competition. There was one anxious moment in Leeds’ quest for the equaliser when Gray crashed a shot off the bar, but there was little to disturb the Scots’ composure. It was an amazing occasion.”. Two minutes into the second half, John Hughes drew Celtic level on the night, before ­Johnstone set up Bobby ­Murdoch for the winner, as the breathless tie ended 3-1 on aggregate amid deafening noise. Michael Hall was driving at almost 90mph when he lost control of his BMW and crashed into HGV driver Malcolm Easton, whose vehicle jack-knifed and plunged 40 metres down an embankment. The star witness was Gary Sprake. After Scotland beat England 2-1 in the annual Home Internationals fixture, many of the visitors' 30,000 followers invaded the Wembley pitch, ripping up turf, dancing around the penalty areas and snapping crossbars. It’s hard to believe it was 50 years ago.”.

That is well-documented, but what is not as well known is Madeley’s beginnings with Farsley Celtic in the early 1960s. My younger brother, Frank, was in the throes of coming down to join Leeds at the time but he was in the ground supporting Celtic that night at Hampden.

Leeds skipper Bremner was subbed for the last 20 minutes, suffering from concussion, and Celtic threw on Hughes for young hero Connolly.

Auld reckons the wee winger was simply unplayable as he led Leeds a merry dance. The crescendo had built-up ever since the draw was made in Rome, putting the champions of Scotland against the English champs. “But – and this is hard to explain – even when that went in, I still knew we were going to win that night.

Dougie claimed: “It was never a penalty and I will always believe that. A 2-0 defeat in Rome in November 1976 meant hopes were slim almost from the outset. But a look at their defence convinced him that pressure on their left flank, even though it was reckoned to be strongest defensively, would pay off. “But we were Celtic. But Revie's loyalty could reach a more sinister level. Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes. Although Farsley is where he was playing men’s football, it was playing for Leeds City under 18s that triggered his move to Elland Road. In the one corner, Don Revie’s all-conquering Leeds United. Stein wasn’t slow in firing the first shots. Dougie, now 71, insists United were hard done by and reckons minnows often got the thick end of refereeing decisions.

Barry Smith is a name only deep Leeds United historians will be able to recall, but in  September 1952, the 18-year-old made an impact comparable to Wayne Rooney’s Everton debut, with a ‘fairytale” goal in United’s 2-0 win over Fulham at Elland Road. The match saw the meeting of two of the top managers of the era – Jock Stein and Revie – and featured huge names like Billy McNeill, Jimmy Johnstone, Billy Bremner and Jack ­Charlton. Revie also sent weekly £100 bribes to Ball's home as part of his attempt to tap him up.

It was a high-tempo pressing game that suffocated opponents and overwhelmed those that tried to outpass them. George Connelly was a surprise starter for Celtic in Leeds and scored the winner in 40 seconds. “Sure enough Ally took over and signed me.

I remember looking across at big Jack Charlton and Norman Hunter, two hardy lads who could handle anything, and even they were raising their eyebrows. That season Revie saved Leeds from relegation. Leeds were considered favourites going into the tie but we never saw it that way.

'I know when we mixed with players from other clubs at internationals, none of them were doing the things we were. Whittaker would play only once for the Owls, but carved out a decent career with over 300 Football League appearances for sides such as Shrewsbury Town, Queens Park Rangers, Bradford (Park Avenue) and Oldham Athletic.

Paul was as much responsible for the successes over the years as anyone else was.” That was Don Revie summing up his Rolls-Royce’s contribution to the greatest period of Leeds history. With Leeds wearing ­English white with red socks, ­national pride, as well as a place in the final, was at stake. When Revie's time in the Middle East came to an end in 1983, he was only in his mid-fifties, but there was no way back into English football. Revie continued to make confident noises about his team’s chances of overturning the deficit in Glasgow, the match having been switched from Celtic Park to Hampden to maximise the attendance, and his optimism seemed to have substance when Bremner rattled in a 14th- minute opener from 20 yards.
