- Callaghan, who had been injured for five weeks, made the bench.
- Tommy Smith: "The other thing I remember about that drawn cup derby was Joe Fagan pulling me aside afterwards and mentioning something that happened with Duncan McKenzie.

“Won’t happen again, will it?” he frowned.
It didn’t.
A nice early tackle in the replay saw to that!"
