One of my most vivid football memories is the 1987 FA Cup semi final between Leeds and Coventry at Hillsborough. I was there, standing in the Leppings Lane end. Coventry were in the top flight while Leeds were in the old second division and very much the underdogs.
It was a tremendous match with Leeds taking the lead in the first half. With 20 minutes ago they seemed to be coping comfortably with everything Coventry could throw at them. But then the Leeds centre half, Brendon Ormsby tried to shepherd a harmless looking ball out of play. David Bennett nipped in and crossed for Micky Gynn to equalise. Coventry then added another and that seemed to be that. With a few minutes to go however the Leeds substitute Keith Edwards rose to head in a glorious equaliser right in front of us. Cue ecstatic celebrations. A bloke standing next to me tipped his drink over my head and I couldn't care less. The game went into extra time but it was not to be. David Bennett got the winner for Coventry.
Coventry went on to win the FA cup by beating Spurs in the final. Leeds went on to reach the inaugural play-off final but again fell short, losing to Charlton.
