Ah but don't forget we did WIN a cup final - the Whyte and Mackay Trophy v Hibs in 2004 with goals from Michael Ricketts (2) and Frazer Richardson. Mind you the Scotch (sic) police did not allow the team to pick up the trophy until all the fans had left the stadium !! By my reckoning it is the most important home game since 1987 play off final second leg v Charlton where a 2 0 win (instead of 1-0) would have put us back in the top flight. Whilst we have had games that have been bigger in a way (European games, home games on the way to the title in 92 etc) none of them have actually counted for anything in themselves - just a chance to play another game. This one gets us promotion. Both our promotion of 89 and title in 92 were won away from home as was the 74 title so this may be the first time in my football going lifetime that we have actually achieved something tangible at Elland Road !
Dave Does that include the Makita tournament of 1992, when we lost to Sampdoria in the final at Elland Road.?
