The team was chasing a unique "treble" of League championship, FA Cup and European Cup with Gray in sparkling form.

Gray's marking full back was David Webb, a steady but undistinguished defender whom, for the 90 minutes and extra-time period, Gray would duly torment. Webb was, time and again, left on his backside or looking the wrong way as Gray ghosted past him on countless occasions. The game still ended 2-2 and a replay was required - Gray had taken the corner which had allowed Jack Charlton to open the scoring. In the replay, Chelsea changed tactics and put the more uncompromising Ron Harris on to Gray and as a result, Gray's danger was snuffed out through a series of deliberate fouls which went largely unpunished. Chelsea won 2-1 and, in a final ironic twist, it was Webb who scored the winner. Leeds lost the League championship race to Everton and the European Cup semi final to Celtic, thereby ended with nothing. dads ...
