28th May 1975 - European Cup Final in Paris remains etched in Leeds United fans' memories. Being robbed of our rightful trophy that night means I will never forgive or forget. WACCOE - We are the Champions, Champions of Europe!
i never saw any fighting at all but we stayed near the ground until midnight. The only reason we left the cafe then was because we heard there were some French I think going around stabbing Leeds fans do went back to our hotel. I also didn’t see any damage anywhere only what has been shown on the tv since. We were talking to a policeman the day after who came to talk to us saying his unlucky Leeds had been. It made me think things had been blown all out of proportion because surely he wouldn’t have wanted to know us?
I remember crying in front of the tv as a young boy watching this. My youngest son, for reasons i don't fully understand, has taken to German football and considers himself a bayern fan I'm sure he'll grow out of it.... he'd better
I think he needs to support Dortmund instead as Supporting them should never have been entertained!! Get it sorted lol!
Two things I remember from that night: Being robbed of victory by the cheating Germans, and my mum getting a phone call from her sister who told her she’d left my uncle and run off with an Egyptian saxophonist ffs Proper family scandal Why I remember that phone call is anyone’s guess
I originally didn't get a ticket from Leeds despite Paris being my 70th game that season!! eventually ended up with two as my friend had a season ticket and let me have her spare one. We then travelled with the club as we had done to Barcelona the previous round and found out we were allocated another ticket! I sold that at face value to someone I knew outside the ground.
