23 February 1974 - Stoke City 3 Leeds United 2


United had gone 29 games unbeaten from the start of the season when they visited the Potteries and were looking to equal a record set fifty years before but Stoke brought them back down to earth

Alan Hudson: "Everyone hated Leeds then, no matter what club you were playing for at the time. So, whenever you beat them, it was party time… They were the team everyone wanted to beat that season, even more than usual… After the game, we were celebrating in the dressing room when one of the apprentices came in and said, 'Leeds are smashing up their dressing room.' He would then keep us updated with things like, 'The door is damaged now,' and, 'The table's gone over.' But all we did was cheer that bit louder. That day at Stoke proved Alex Ferguson and his tea cup smashing had nothing on Leeds under Revie."
