That was a proper Derby, but Stiles on Alan Oakes for the rags goal was definitely a foul. He books George Best and they still get the free kick, these days there would have been at least three reds and a shed full of yellows. recommended watching for the younger members of what a proper derby match was all about.
 
Tony Book had to hold back Mike Doyle, otherwise he would've torn Best apart limb by limb.
It was a shocker by Best, and Pardoe came close to losing his leg. It effectively finished his career. The start of a theme in derby games during that period.
