Nostalgia: June 1971: FA declares '˜one televised match per week is enough' and refuses to sanction screening of LUFC's win against Juventus

The thinking back in 1971 from the FA was that there was enough televised football that week. The BBC was already showing the European Cup Final and said it would screen another programme if there was a rematch at Hillsborough.

An FA spokesman said: “A second application will not alter that decision. We have told Leeds of our decision and that is final. Also, there will be no highlights of the match televised.”

He went on to say that the thinking at the time was that one live football match on TV per week was quire enough for the general public.

The decision was a blow for Leeds, who had reached a £10,000 agreement with the BBC. Leeds went on to win the match and are pictured here at , Elland Road on June 3.
