McAllister equalised for Leicester then, with everyone else losing their heads, Stachan calmly scored the winner. My wife had always hated him till then (Strachan that is) but he stood head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch that day - not only in skill but in effort and drive and commitment and will to win.
In many ways it was like watching Billy Bremner again. Damian PS that was the last match my wife ever went to. She never was a football supporter, let alone Leeds but at least she stopped going on a high that nearly but not quite made up for the Birmingham match in 85.
