I've just read this, and I believe that in todays game both teams back then would have finished with about 5 players each, its a good read

I'd just read this in the paper, interesting how it sets out how supposedly United players were telling him they were going to break his leg, then a bit further down Jack Charlton told his players to go and 'do' the blades players with his blessing...

As SPG says, with a modern day namby pamby referee, you'd probably have had it abandoned by half-time for not enough players left!

He obviously loved the thought of coins being thrown to him by United, given that he signed for them later...
