Careless Hands: The Forgotten Truth of Gary Sprake # eBook « T7XERCW1GN Careless Hands: Th e Forgotten Truth of Gary Sprake By Stuart Sprake, Tim Johnson The History Press Ltd. Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Careless Hands: The Forgotten Truth of Gary Sprake, Stuart Sprake, Tim Johnson, The goalkeeper of Don Revie's triumphant Leeds United team of the late 1960s and early '70s, Gary Sprake made over 500 appearances for the club in a career that saw him win domestic and European honours and make 37 appearances for Wales - yet for many people he will always be remembered as the man who threw the ball into his own net in a game against Liverpool. A handful of high-profile errors, and the resultant reputation as something of a liability, have taken precedence over the view held by many contemporary players and commentators that he was one of the best 'keepers of his generation. His heroics won many matches for Leeds, including the 1965 FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United and the 1968 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final against Ferencvaros - yet still the one time 'Hero of Budapest' is more often remembered as 'Careless Hands', his name associated with the goalkeeping gaffes and with the infamous Revie match-fixing scandal while teammates have taken the plaudits for the side's tremendous achievements on the pitch.

Matches – 19 October 1968
Matches – 19 October 1968 – Burnley 5 Leeds United 1 First Division – Turf Moor – 26,423 Scorers: Bremner 23 min Burnley: Thomson, Smith, Latcham, Dobson, Waldron, Blant, Thomas, Murray, Casper, Coates, Kindon Leeds United: Sprake, Reaney, Cooper (Lorimer 70), Bremner, Charlton, Hunter, O‟Grady, Giles, Jones, Madeley, Gray In a season when Leeds United finally realised the rich potential they had hinted at for five years, one particular game stood out like a sore thumb, a very, very sore thumb, indeed. Their campaign was founded on ruthless efficiency and leaving the minimum to chance, but it was punctuated by the most extraordinary of calamities one Saturday afternoon towards the end of October. United were sitting atop the Division One table as they travelled to Turf Moor to face a promising young Burnley team. They had dropped just four points in 13 games and came into the game on the back of three successive clean sheets in the League. Their only Division One reverse had come the month before, away to reigning champions Manchester City, though during the week they had bowed out The Yorkshire Evening Post of 19 October 1968 carries the news of the 5- of the League Cup after losing 2-1 at Second 1 defeat at Turf Moor Division Crystal Palace. It was clear, though, that United had treated the defence of the trophy they had won in March less than seriously. Terry Lofthouse in the Yorkshire Evening Post: “When the final reckoning is made at the end of the season, Leeds United‟s 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the League Cup may have been a blessing in disguise.

That’s 46 years of incredible loyalty. In fact he’s only missed one friendly and that was through no fault of his own. An air traffic control strike prevented him from boarding a flight to Toronto – he had a match ticket and a flight ticket. Brian Clough lasted 44 days. Jock Stein lasted 44 days. Another 19 managers have come and gone (20 if you include Eddie Gray twice – although he’s far from gone, given his role as commentator on Yorkshire Radio with the brilliant Thom Kirwin, hospitality stuff and complete and utter devotion to Leeds United) and Brian McDermott is the latest man to depart Elland Road.

Cricket and boxing have traditionally been the sports deemed worthy of literary attention, with soccer rarely seen as an appropriate topic for serious writers, this despite some fine writing on the back pages of daily newspapers.

Matches – 31 March 1965 – Manchester U 0 Leeds United 1
Matches – 31 March 1965 – Manchester U 0 Leeds United 1 First Division – City Ground, Nottingham – 46,300 Scorers: Bremner Manchester United: P Dunne, Brennan, A Dunne, Crerand, Foulkes, Stiles, Connelly, R Charlton, Herd, Law, Best Leeds United: Sprake, Reaney, Bell, Bremner, J Charlton, Hunter, Giles, Storrie, Peacock, Collins, Cooper The first clash between Manchester United and Leeds United in the FA Cup semi final of 1965 had ended in a bitter and rancorous goalless draw, with both sides more intent on kicking opponents than seizing the chance of a Wembley place. As Eric Stanger reported in the Yorkshire Post: “Perhaps it is as well there is a replay at Nottingham on Wednesday. At least it will give both sides opportunity to show that they can play good football and redeem themselves for a shabby, bitter FA Cup semi final at Hillsborough on Saturday. There were no goals but there were 24 free kicks for fouls given against Manchester United and 10 against Leeds. Two Manchester players, Stiles and Law, had their names taken and altogether too many players on both sides behaved like a pack of dogs snapping and snarling at each other over a bone.” Leeds manager Don Revie chose to paper over the controversy, saying: “We shall do better on Wednesday now we know what it is all about. Remember this is our first semi final. I was a bit worried at half time but we played much better against the wind and I am sure we can win the replay and get to Wembley.” Despite many fitness doubts on both sides following the bruising encounter, the only change to either team was Denis Law shows the effects of battle after the first game Terry Cooper replacing the injured South African Albert Johanneson on the Leeds left wing.

After a formidable showing on their return to the First Division, the Whites dropped a point in a 3-3 draw at relegated Birmingham City while Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-1 at Old Trafford to settle matters, with Leeds finishing runners up by dint of a much inferior goal average. The Yorkshiremen retained one final chance of silverware, having won their way through to an FA Cup final appearance on May 1 against reigning League champions Liverpool. It was the first time that United had come near a sniff of FA Cup glory, and, with the Anfield club never having won the Cup, it was certain there would be a new name on the famous trophy. Liverpool had surrendered their League title quite meekly, trailing in a disappointing 7th, 17 points behind Leeds, but they had done well in their European Cup debut season. They beat FC Cologne on the toss of a coin in a quarter final play off, and now faced mighty Inter Milan at Anfield three days after the FA Cup final. Under legendary manager Bill Shankly, the Anfield club were emerging as one of the new powers of The Leeds United team for the 1965 Cup final - Back: Hunter, Charlton, Sprake, the English game and would be stern Reaney, Bell - Front: Giles, Storrie, Peacock, Don Revie, Collins, Johanneson, Bremner opponents.

Clarke first sprang to notice with local club Walsall, but was sold to Fulham for £35,000. In two season his value had soared to £150,000 and, in a year at Leicester, he made his first FA Cup final appearance. He went on England´s 1969 summer trip to South America, playing in an unofficial international against Mexico, and came back home to begin a new career with Leeds as their top scorer with 17 goals.
