One of the teams that dominated the 1960s and '70s, Leeds United's great style of football culminated in a 1972 FA Cup Final victory.
One of those players that helped them win, Mick Jones, had quite a different memory to his other teammates once the final whistle had been blown.
Jones made 307 starts for Leeds, scoring 111 goals in the process and would win two league titles with the Whites in 1968-69 and 1973-74. However, in their 1-0 victory over Manchester United for their solitary FA Cup win,

Following Allan Clarke's goal in the 53rd minute, the rest of the game had all but played out. In the final minute of play, Jones suffered a dislocated shoulder after falling on the Wembley grass.
"I've been asked about it so many times, I did it in the very last minute and I just can't describe the pain," said Mick.
"Les Cocker came over and said you'll stretch it off, and he wouldn't let anyone touch me. Jeff Barnett told me to get up and then he realised I was badly injured and he asked them for a stretcher, but I said I'm not going on any stretcher, I'm here now and I want to go up those steps.
"I went over and I thought I was going to collapse to be quite honest, everybody's arms were around me as I went up to the Queen and she said "I've nothing to give you, how are you" (Mick Bates had already collected his medal for him). I said I was as well as anybody else. I just shook her hands and the national anthem started playing and I just thought I was going to keel over because obviously shock sets in when you're injured."
When meeting the Queen, Jones remembered how teammate and centre-back Norman Hunter held him up the steps but he was in so much pain that he could hardly move.
"It was just me and Norman [Hunter] after everyone else. I saw my wife and she was crying. The Duke of Edinburgh asked if it was my arm. Norman whispered, ‘Is he f***ing joking?’ Then the Queen asked, ‘Are you in pain?’ I said, ‘Yes Ma’am, a little.’
"I managed to get down to the bottom of the stairs and then they put me on a stretcher, when I got in the dressing room I was laid there for about three-quarters of an hour and I didn't know what was happening.
"Apparently why I was waiting was because one doctor couldn't do anything, they needed four doctors, two on one side and two on another to pull it back in. When they did pull it back in I thought I was going to go through the twin towers."
"I was physically sick for the next four hours. Then I went to the hotel and I was sick all night.”
Leeds and Jones had to skip the traditional dinner after the match as they had to head back up North to face Wolverhampton Wanderers, needing just a single point to win the double.
Jones, watching from the sidelines, had to see his side lose 2-1 and miss out on the title to Derby County by a single point.
