I was in the paddock a Man United fan surrounded by Leeds fans plenty of banter but no trouble the 70s were a better time to be a football fan ( especially if you support Leeds!)

The first goal commentator shouts i think the ball had already gone in, how dose he work that one out. Top match tho.

Giles was twice the player billy was

I agree but Bremner was a massive reason why Leeds were successful.

Absolutely such a shame though all these are Legends.

Giles was double the player bremmner was no idea why people ignore this assume cause billy is dead

Don’t forget charlton

haha yes. i remember that too

Although he did shout 'Yes!' when Man Utd pulled one back

Sounded like David Coleman.. but you're right. Barry Davies.

Better than Premier league shyte

@@alecsuchi3293 when football was football Today's football doesn't have the same atmosphere

Bobby Charlton is the Keith Richards of football, probably live forever 😂

Underachievers. Should have won Treble in 1970. Double in '72. Just failed at the final hurdle a number of times. The swansong for the team was the corrupt European Cup Final in '75 when the MIB were 'payed off' so that an unfashionable English team didn't win it against one of Europe's creme de la crème.

With respect , the football era you think of so fondly died at Hillsborough

I used to go to the Wolves games in the 70's. We had a great team then (not so bad now either), but it was a different game then. Phil Parkes, Derek Dougan, Dave Wagstaffe, Mick Bailey, Derek Parkin, John McHalle, Frank Munroe et al.

Present day footballers are on £100,000 per week . Managers like Mourinho are on 10 million plus a year who even when they fail get paid out 10 million for the final year of their contract. The whole thing is a joke.

Money ruins everything.....football, formula 1, art, music, education, the medical industry, marriage, relationships, masculinity, femininity, personal identity, the entertainment industry..... everything it touches, it turns to hell.

@@stuartbritton7408 I'm still amazed how people can support teams owned by billionaires employing millionaires and managers on 10 million per year who nearly all get the sack.

Yes, and we lost Norman Hunter and Peter Lorimer to Covid. Thankyou China 🙄

@AC True, there was one player last week carried off ,they said there's no chance he'll bit fit for about a month to 6 weeks.Asked his injury, he replied "Fractured finger nail on his little pinky on his right hand!" "Excuse me ...think I wanna throw up".

Well apart from the Clarke O Neill nonsense at 06:00 of course.

We were great then. ☺

Unless your name was Rodney Marsh.

When Scotland produced proper football players unlike today.

Yes!And football was played the way it was meant to be played!.And I have to say this(it's an bit of a bugbear with me!)That football was a truer and better ball,u couldn't smash that around the field like today's "kids,playground football".It reqired a certain skill set!

@@raymondmcmenemy303 If we'd had a British team back in the 70's and 80's, with a squad that had the possibilty to include Scottish players like Souness, Bremner, Dalglish, N.Irish players like Best, Jennings and Welsh players like Rush and Toshack etc, we'd have won a World Cup and European Cup for sure. (See the GB Olympic team's success)

@@justclosing Kin ell, Like this comment, Thinking about those players all on the same side on form Scary Would take one hell of a team to deal with that.

Mike Rourke o

And there were no Negroes yet. None in the two teams. Good old England

It's the British players that are massively overpaid, they even cost more than the foreign players.

If Leeds get promoted next year, will football be football again?

EASY

Haha they've got one now!!

Jim Halfpenny, We will never know. Leeds were never given the credit they deserved, skillwise they were the best of there era and stood up for themselves when they had to.

@@tonyteo7778 leeds were at the death of 18 trophies in 8 seasons an only won six. had they been a lesser side they prob won the same or less. being invovled in all comps at end of season cost them. great side.

And it wasn't handbag fights but proper fists fights.🤭🤣🤣

Jamie Lennox --- Passion maybe, skills not so much.

@@Liofa73 Vastly different skill sets were needed on soggy, muddy, pitches that were devoid of technological advancements like we see today. Heavier balls were used, plus tackles were allowed that would instantly bring red cards today. It's not possible to compare like for like as the two eras have next to nothing in common. Besides, how many of today's 'stars' would excel with conditions like these? Not many, I bet.

i was 8 years old when this game was played and lived in west london but i always looked forward to man city v leeds and little billy B always played his socks off

Leeds had a lot of enforcers in those days - but also a lot of great attacking players. I'm a United (red) supporter but what Leeds achieved in the 1960s and 1970s was remarkable.

You should be made champions right now,liverpool have earned it I hope leeds can join you in the prem next season

I'm a Chelsea fan from the late sixties on but I know every Leeds player in the 70s and always love hearing about them esp the Billy Bremner days- Leeds were the best team in Europe at one stage there in 70s

Leeds, without doubt, are a top division team. Big club, with history, and a large and passionate fan base. Looking forward to seeing them back.

@@martinbullard1978 Definitely amazing fans

And no sardines sandwich supporters.

Yeah, not anymore , I don’t watch football now after all this woke nonsense !

Today, as soon as you get to know how to pronounce some players names, which nationality they have and from which club they came from. (was PSG or BVB?)...they're gone.

@@justclosing Ask the question to premier league presidents and managers....How many english players in every top teams...maybe the reason why english national team is so poor in WC or EC...And also poor Leeds today

CLOUGH WAS RIGHT-------A DIRTY TEAM OF SPOILT BASTARDS

@@peterwood-jenkins3634 So true. And Leeds weren't up to much, either.

. . . and hated by millions!

steeliness, they weren't nasty or dirty

@@colinings3771 No, no. They were dirty. Not watch 70 FA Cup replay? They were dirty. But they could play. That should not be forgotten.

@@frankford1115 I think it's a myth that Leeds were in isolation dirty or nasty and everyone else played in the Corinthian spirit. Eddie Gray had lumps kicked out of him so surely there was provocation on both sides? I don't mean to provoke an argument but fans of other teams always trot out the line of Leeds being dirty. It's like a red tag to most Leeds fans lol. Leeds were cheated out of two European trophies by blatant cheating but that's life in the professional game.

rag

@@colinings3771 Agreed. That is why I will not slag them off. They could play. But they were dirty or nasty when needed. That is not a myth. Bremner was a piece of work but boy could he play. But I will not forget their behaviour over the years. That history cannot be air brushed even though it is 2021. But a find team. Eddie Gray. He could play.

Long for the good ole days, do ya? Enoch Powell?

@@Sunburst75 agreed #bringbacktheterrraces

Leeds were great; but they weren’t even the best team in Britain at that time. Celtic were better and at least as consistent - late 60s to early 70s - as were several other clubs in Europe, such as Ajax and Bayern.

There's a name for that, it's called Penaldo.

Your Klinsman's and Ronaldo's weren't around then.

Good old days great

Not quite true. Never heard of Lee 1 (pen), the famous Chinese footballer ? There was also one team who, whenever they were under pressure, had a particular player who would feign injury to break the oppositions rhythm. I'm not a fan of all the diving that goes on but the game then was pretty brutal.

Because you are watching players that want to play.

Hang on, we're on our way :-)

They were amazing games. Since the Kop sang "Champions" to Leeds in 1969, I've always had a huge respect for Liverpool and their fans. Also, my dad and I used to sell programmes at Elland Road near where the away coaches parked and Liverpool fans were always really good folk. I do hope you win the title this year.

Ray Tinkler can take some of the blame. So can the ref in the European Cup Final.

And the 1973 Cup Winners' Cup Final ref, too!

We would have done but for bent officials.MOT FOREVER.

They wouldn't get near today's players to touch them

@@noodles169 utter bollocks mate

strange how you did not mention Giles,easily the best player on the field.

@@pcset12 sorry about that. I agree totally.

@@pohl54 Thanks and a Happy football Christmas!

lovely comment from a non Leeds fan thank you

Well said Billy, now you'd better look out, old Quelchy is looking for you! Yarooooohhhh!!

The EPL needs the Roses rivalry

Yeah, I feel the same. Never will forgive Revie's cheats but would rather have them back in the top league.

Nobody ever needs to see or hear from Leeds again.

You could go down and resume it that way...?

@yortzandat A former ref, you say? He said some words, did he? Fuck. That's it then. Send Fergie to jail. I bet whoever decided to ban Cantona for 9 months resulting in Blackburn winning the league and Everton beating United in the Cup Final lived in abject terror for the rest of his days. Or...maybe big clubs just get the benefit of doubt more than the little provincial, backwater Ragarse Rovers teams like Leeds do. It sucks, but there's nothing untoward about it.

You could guess. It was Liverpool

You are so so right. Progress my backside.

you said it right

I f*ckin hate the 21st century

Spot on pal.

I believe it is called "gentrification". It has happened in society in general. Ordinary, working class people can not afford to live in the centre of cities anymore and are pushed to the margins ( literally and metaphorically) out of the way. With sport (especially football) Sky moved in, with their obscene money, along with businessmen, agents and all the other blights of modern sport. The players do have a short career, so they need to be well paid, but they are now just mercenaries with little allegiance to any club.

Hardly the first to join man utd from Leeds. Best 2 things man utd did was to sell Leeds Johnny Giles, and Gordon Strachan.

tim mo Still happens today. Torreira had his ankle broken on a reckless tackle and Mike Dean didn’t even award a yellow.

Even fighting.

Yes -- even though three of that team are no longer with us and the others are in their 70s (80s in Big Jack's case)!

No he didn't. Leeds had a small squad like most teams and players were often injured or suspended. But even the subs, Paul Madeley or Mick Bates were very good players. Madeley played in every position except goalkeeper.

Apart from Johnny Giles

nonsense blame the cubs

Hardly any English in sight 😂 Most of the Leeds team were Scot’s.

They could have even have played them at football! - terrible shame that revie had a win at all costs mentality with the beautiful game being replaced often with petulant fouling/assault - Imagine if that team of very good footballers had been properly managed!

@@MrNorbertcolon Get over it mate,

Don't talk crap! Rubbish made up by the southern press. Every team had their hard men. Chopper Harris, Tommy Smith, Peter Storey, Nobby Stiles etc. Why would the Anfield Kop chant "Champions" to Leeds for 15 minutes and Shanks come into Leeds dressing room to say "You deserved it lads" if they were just dirty and cheats. I think they knew more about the game than all the armchair critics!

Garth William Jones --- Idols are for children. As an older man you're hardly likely to look up to someone a third of your age.

Spoilt is to nice a word for todays rubbish footballers. Today its pass it back pass it left pass it right pass it back again pass left and right again then hit it a mile over the crossbar.😝

@@michaelpower4372 Too true!

That was good!

Best was brilliant on the pitch but off it he was a waste of space piss head.

@@CB-xr1eg A little unkind(he did have a booze problem)but u have to remember nowadays these players have numerous advisers agents(access to plenty of resources to hopefully point their Thickheads in the right direction,and of course their parents who maybe reasonably clued up aswell)but Georgie left his family behind in Belfast,was dominating and lighting up the old "Division" 1 and Europe!,earning alot of money(even by today's standards)and was pretty much left to his own devices!!,So I think he mostly let himself and his loved ones down,usually on the Pitch it was a different story!.But I do understand ur point!

@@jerryoshea3116 He was a piss head...end of! A bit like the fat wanker Gascoine.

@@CB-xr1eg have you no concept about genius? Usually comes with a fault. It doesn't take away from the talent. What the fuck have you ever done?

Have to agree and that Brazil side was the best EVER.

When football pitches were real, not snooker tables.

quality Boy we will be back next year mate.. LEEDS are going up MOT

noo keep em were they belong

Leeds might well be back in the Premiership by then, but the question is, will Manchester United manage to stay up this season?

Judging by the recent Brexit madness, apparently not. Little England still alive and kicking.

@@Liofa73 You misread the comment, he didn't say Leeds need to be back, he said the Premiership ( wrong name as its the Premier League ), needs Leeds back.

@@erictheking97 Every club has fans that just want to cause trouble. Don't tar them all with the same brush.

You are a Man Utd “supporter” who isn’t from Manchester who just watches them on television then?

Ronshycherly well I don’t get as often as I should I admit and you’re right I don’t live in Manchester but I have been a supporter since 68 . What’s your point ?

Not from Manchester but a supporter since 1968. I wonder what happened in 1968?

Ronshycherly the ONLY good thing about being old is I can just remember winning the World Cup with Bobby and nobby then 2 years later Utd winning the European with Georgie and the rest and that set me on the way. What’s your point?

Not a Man Utd fan, though Denis Law was an idol of mine, but was at the semi-final at Old Trafford as a guest of Real Madrid (a long story) sat between actors John Gregson of Gideon on TV and Robert Shaw. Not very comfortable, they are both 6’4 and very well built. Dead in line with Best when he scored the only goal.

And Allan Clarke scoring for Leeds before he joined The Hollies. Billy Bremner in midfield before he played guitar with Dave Edmunds & Rockpile. People just don't realise how multi talented this Leeds side was.😁😂

@@CB-xr1eg , LOL! Brilliant!

👍😁
