Even at that game there were crowd problems at the Leppings Lane end. It was the first semi--final to be played at Hillisborough since the infamous Spurs v Wolves game six years before, when serious overcrowding at Leppings Lane resulted in about 40 spectators being injured. It would later prove that those warning signs should have been addressed.
Im a Liverpool fan and I remember this being a cracking game. Coventry deserved the Cup that year, played some good stuff and knocked out United at Old Trafford. Classic days.
That leppings lane end looks scary
Great semi final
When the fa cup meant something! I loved cup final day,the hotels players relaxing before the big match ,now it's on same day as a premier league game 😮 shocking
I was there as a Boro fan, but supporting Cov.
was a great day even though my team were beaten, Coventry deserved their success that year.
I was in the cop behind the goal with 20,000 City fans no seats back then..an amazing atmosphere and great day.. 👍 PUSB
one of the greatest semifinals. just not the greatest result for us
What a year and what a team,Regis on another day could have bagged at least 4 on his own 💙
I was there with the Leeds boys and enjoying every minute of it as a young 12 year old lad
Coventry's name was on the cup that year, great performance vs Leeds and even better in the final vs red hot favourite , Glenn Hoddle inspired Spurs.

Beat my dads team in the semi and my uncles in the final.... quality!! Championship here we come......
Queued overnight at Elland Road to get tickets for what was a truly memorable day even though we lost. I was in the Leppings Lane end about 15-20 yards behind the goal but I got in early and bagged myself a barrier. I just thought of it as a big day, big crowd and went with the ebb and flow of the fans without a thought that it would be the scene of a major tragedy two years later.
Ita such a shame the Hillsborough disaster wasnt avoid by adding more safety to the ground , what a magnificent stadium for big games , the noise is unreal
How Leeds lost that is beyond belief, should have been 3 up before coventry got going
with defending like that, Leeds ought to have conceded at least 25
Micky Gynn. So unsung.
I was the York City fan who got to Keith Houchen first at the end of our FA Cup win over Arsenal with Keith's very late Penalty and stuck a big silly happy kiss on his cheek feeling totally delirious we then drew Liverpool (European Champions at the time)at home in the 5th round when he held them to a 1-1 draw we lost the replay 7-0 at Anfield we were robbed 🫣🤣 bizarre coincidence was that we again drew Liverpool in the following seasons 5th round tie at home and again we drew 1-1's each but this time we should have won the replay it was 1-1 but then our legendary Big striker Keith Walwyn put the ball in the net only for the linesman to disallow it even the Liverpool players said it should have stood anyway it went to extra time when the Reds scored 2 more goals. Our keeper Andy Leaning had an incredible match making many world class saves most in front of the Kop....
