No one under say 35 to 40 years of age can really understand what an FA Cup giantkilling like that really meant back in the 70s. This was Leeds with their full team really trying. No half measures. This was Leeds biggest game of the season as well as Colchester because back then every FA cup game for every club was the biggest game of the season.
