The real interesting statistic is when was the last time we had a league game result worse than this !!


Not only is the goal difference 7 but we also scored “0” …this means if we lost say 8-1 ….it is a 7 goal difference …but because we scored that result will be better than a 7-0 ie an 8-1 is better than 7-0.


When was it that we had worse ? That is the question !! In what division were we ?


Leeds United FC:

52 Years Saturday’s result against Cardiff City was our biggest league win since the 4th March 1972, when we defeated Southampton 7-0 at Elland Road

We lost 9-0 at Preston on the last game of the 65/66 season. I was a young boy and it was my first season. I believe we had saved ourselves from relegation the Wednesday before by beating Middlesboro 5-3 sending them down instead, my first and certainly not last experience of a Second Division/Championship relegation battle. Celebrations obviously went on for a very long time!!

Another question. What was unusual about the 3 Boro goals?

Dickie Rooks scored a Hattrick two of the goals were penalties, the other on 90 minutes.

The championship was formed in 2004 in that time of there have been two 8-0 results and seven 7-0 results so Saturdays hammering was in the top ten of biggest defeats in this division.

Yet again we go down in history for all the wrong reasons never mind it’s all part of being a city fan ps are all clubs like ours haha

Spot on. I thought it was unique because it was the first time a centre half had scored a sides all three goals. But apparently they were short of a forward so he played up front (or pushed him up front when they went behind). Whatever, what a way to get your one and only career hatrick. With relegation at the same time. A mixed night for him!!

It hurts now,but in time it will be forgotten and just become another statistic.
