OK, so a holy grail of mine for all you older yellows.
The Leeds 5 - 2 game in November 194 was on Match of the Day. Unless I had a really vivid dream I remember my dad letting me stay up late (I was only 8!) to watch Sportsnight one night in probably December 1984.
Sportsnight had an Oxford feature which included a camera sitting with Jim and Maxwell as they sat in the directors box during the first half. I think that Jim often watched the first half in the stand and then came to touchline second half, but I may be wrong in that. I especially remember it as having gone 2-0 down in the first half we got one back, which led to Maxwell standing and clapping, then sitting down and asking Jim who scored, to be met with a very curt "BRIGGS".
There must have been more to the piece than that - I'm guessing more interaction between manager and chairman, maybe some dressing room footage - but don't remember anything other than the exchange in the directors box.
Does anyone remember seeing this - or even better - know where a copy lives online?
Here you go. I've just uploaded it to YouTube for you, @Jonny G
