Coincidence ?
1955-56 and the 3 rd round of the FA Cup. Leeds United v Cardiff City .
1956-57 and the 3 rd round of the FA Cup, Leeds United v Cardiff City .
1957-58 and the 3 rd round of the FA Cup, Leeds United v Cardiff City .
This was extraordinary to say the least, with the chances of it happening something like one in two million. It gets better ...
1955-56 and Cardiff beat Leeds 2-1 after a goalless first half.
1956-57 and Cardiff beat Leeds 2-1 after a goalless first half.
1957-58 and, although the first half wasn’t goalless, with a minute to go the score was… 2-1 to Cardiff . Wilbur Cash was brought down and Leeds appealed for a penalty. Not given, and Cardiff win 2-1 in the same fixture for the third season running.
