The 1970 final (or replay) between the two is remembered as one of the most brutal games in English football history. A modern referee watched it recently and said he'd have given 11 red cards. At the time, there was only one card shown, and it was yellowSurprised there were no really serious injuries in the game. Remember it well.
That said the game is far too "soft" these days.
