'Great St Mary's Robbery' - Memories of a Leeds United heist

It was an unlikely comeback win dubbed by the travelling faithful as the 'Great St Mary's Robbery'.

The Whites found themselves 3-0 down at St Mary's in November 2005 after a close-range header from Marian Pahars and a brace from Nigel Quashie put Southampton in complete control. But the introduction of striker David Healy with 20 minutes remaining sparked an incredible turnaround as a four-goal blitz inspired Leeds United to a memorable comeback win. "Unbelievable, I don't know what to say. One of the worst results of my career," reflected Saints manager Harry Redknapp afterwards. "With 20 minutes to go I couldn't see Leeds scoring one, let alone four." READ MORE: 16 of the most iconic Leeds United photos of all time LOVE LEEDS? LOVE NOSTALGIA? Join Leeds Retro on facebook
