Are you confusing 'good old Derek Noonon' (as Phil Cookson called him after the game) with 'good old Don Fox' as every Leeds fan called him in '68. |

I understand the story was something like the LT vote was taken around 10 mins before the end of the game, with Saints in front and looking likely to hang on to the victory.
Then a certain Mr Holmes and his mates decided they weren't going have any of that ....
And as you say, with the match in it's dying seconds there was a slip pass to Derek Noonan with the line beckoning, which would have won the game for Saints. He dropped the ball and the rest, as they say, was history ....
Hence George Nicholls being named Lance Todd winner on the losing side.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

An excellent piece.
As an regular attendee of the ex players annual dinner I met John several times and he was a true gentleman. I am sure this years dinner will be very poignant.

I was sat with john at the 'lions' annual dinner a couple of years ago when george nicholls was presented with an award, I mentioned the 78 lance todd and what an injustice it was, John told of how the press apologised to him afterwards, that was good enough for him, no regrets or hard feelings. A shrug of the shoulders.

Great peace! Remember john always having plenty of time for us as kids around the ground after alliance games, even though he had moved some what out of the lime light you would have never of known with regards to his effort and manor, and when I would see him play what were his last few games for the first team I was so exited!! Total legend a gent and leeds rlfc through and through! Genuinley moved by his passing and feel very privileged to see him play and to have pestered him to sign mi program and nick his tie ups.

I only met him as a kid in the 70s when he signed a few autographs for me which I dug out last night to look at. I was surprised to find I had no fewer than 38 of Roy Dickinson's. Roy used to be so keen to sign, it actually got to the point where I tried to avoid him as he left the dressing room. Good memories.
