Yes Stoke had beaten Man U in the previous round and were a very good side. Also Everton at Goodison in '70 ish Are you sure you're not confusing us with the 82ers as I'm sure they played at Elland Rd in the 70's? I went to Leeds,lost 4-1 i think,Joe Jordan elbowed Frankie Prince in the face other than that can't recall much else

we played a full strength leeds united team away from home in the 1970"s in the fa cup when they were in there pomp. also the stoke city team that beat us 4-2 at eastville after being 4-0 up at half time were very strong and won the league cup i think that year. Terry Coopers tackles on Bruce Bannister were all at least knee high. Dick Sheppard was MoTM or it would have been a lot worse. Against Stoke Gordon Banks was MoTM for Stoke, Dick Sheppard had the reverse of the Leeds game, Stoke seemed to score every time they had a corner.

Rovers lost 4-1 to the (then) mighty Leeds on 15th January 1972. www.ozwhitelufc.net.au/15-01-1972%20LUFC%20v%20Bristol%20Rovers. The Leeds team were supreme at getting away with niggling the opposition players and getting away with what are now termed professional fouls: Leeds players I had thought skilful were shown to be nothing more than niggling barstewards, Madeley, Reaney, and Eddie Gray come to mind. Having said that, I do not agree with HollyhillGas' view: Terry Cooper and Norman Hunter were in a different class, extremely hard but also fair in the tackle. Regarding the poo playing against Leeds in the 70s. That was also in the FA Cup. It was a replay, during the miners' strike, so was played during daytime, as there was a limit on power usage, i.e the 3 day week. I was actually employed by a company in Ashton Vale and was therefore surrounded by sheds (one being Harry Bamford's cousin). My manager was a shed but also pontificated on the mighty Leeds. So when he came storming through into my office shouting out that "We" had scored, I was genuinely confused and none the wiser for who "We" were (a point I voiced in no uncertain terms). It transpired that it was Donnie Gillies, later to become a Rovers player, who had won the game for them.

Yes I must be, I first started watching Rovers in 1974, odd both Bristol clubs played the great Leeds twice in a few years, given how rare playing one of the big Premiership teams are been in recent years.

I reckon the honours must go to Tottongham but the records show the 82 were a good side in the old 1st division and they did a number on us in the old Gloster cup ??

Did a number on us in the Anglo Scottish cup 6-1,but the 82ers have never been in the top flight,that was the old club that went bust.

They definitely had some very good players out there tonight. I do think if we'd started a bit more positively we might have even taken it to extra time. I don't mind a defensive shape but it has to draw the line on the 18 yard not two yards out. A very spirited performance though and with more attacking players and a more attacking shape we look very good. I'm not a fan of this 5-3-2 to be honest, two goals down early playing that way against Bolton and Chelsea, then we go more attzcking but it's too late by then. I really want to see us have a go a Swindle town on Saturday and not wait until we're 2- 0 down this time.

I think it was just nerves in the opening 20 minutes more than the formation that caused a slow start. (Plus Chelsea playing slick football) Cracking second half though!
