Bit closer to home this one as when I had a season ticket at United back in the late 70's, Gordon McQueen and Martin Buchan were the centre half pairing.

@andyc and the poor fella was robbed of a European Cup medal.

As with most of your posts, I was unaware of that and had to research it.

McQueen scored 3 times in the 1974/75 European Cup campaign but was suspended for the Final. Are you implying Leeds would have beaten Bayern with McQueen in the side ? Or his suspension was not justified ?

@andyc
Sorry, this was a snide reference to the final being, in all likelihood, influenced by the corrupt official.

I've only ever seen a tape of the final, but given how they played, I can only imagine the suspension was justified.
