Giles and Bremner - what a paring. It was like an extra man in the midfield.

These scrawny, skinny, pasty, nobbly kneed fuckers wouldn't get near today's athletes. The game has moved on a lot.

@@EvoGoody Bollox they were hard as nails not like today's pansy asses .Look at that skill on a terrible pitch , today's players play on billiard tables in comparison and wouldn't last five minutes in those conditions . You mention fitness well back then they had small squads and weren't allowed all the subs they have now and players were hardly ever injured despite it been full contact unlike nowadays where they fall over in a fucking breeze .Yes the game has moved on but not for the better not by a long way .By the way Lorrimars shot was measured at 90 + mph with a ball twice as heavy as the beach balls they use nowadays .

@@MARTIN-bd7gm Totally agree football's golden era.

@@MARTIN-bd7gm my dad showed me this game and said this is how he used to play compared to what I play now is very soft

John motson summed it up when he once said " The days when football was played with a smile on the face".

Leeds at their best , I was only 8 years old and been hooked ever since.

@@andrewhargreaves1002 I've got the same illness. Mick Jones at Sheffield United was my first hero so when he moved to Leeds so did I. I've been a prisoner to them since, through thick and very thin, even throughout attending a non football public school. Mind you by the time I left, we had an XI . Literally jumpers for goalposts, graduating to rugby posts, eventually proper goals on a proper pitch.

This is football ? But where are the really exciting, interminable passes amongst the back four. They’re actually taking people on instead of passing it all the way back to the goalkeeper. Nobody looks like they’ve been shot by a sniper whenever they get within a foot of the opposition ! This must from a different planet.

Yes they played for each other the fans the city of leeds the shirt manager and pride for each other not like todays over over over priced prima donna's would'nt lase any of the boots

Leeds United belong in the Premier!

Good to have you as a fan mate. Hopefully Bielsa can finally take us back up.

English Football is garbage and overhyped! They never win anything outside the British Isles!

manzanaresantonio apart from the champions league

@@markskelly6463 Last time they won it was a while ago!

Ok boomer

?

ALAW

The Leeds teams from the Revie era have their detractors, mostly because some of their players were overly physical. Most teams back then had players who were no stranger to the referee's notebook. What many people forget is the Leeds sides of that era were very very good. This clip is proof.

@@geoffpoole483 The southampton thrashing really showed how skilful they were.

You can find extended highlights

Definitely the most underrated team

The best ever stands United ! Leeds still a one hit wonder.

No doubt. Unfortunately the media attitude to the team at the time as well as the FA blacklisting Don Revie are what cause them to never be talked about among the best. Perhaps if we hadn’t been cheated out of the European Cup Final in 75 we’d get more respect.

@@junli5830 One hit wonder? Do you even know what that means? Leeds were the best English team for 10 years or more. Meanwhile Man Utd won 1 league and the European Cup, after that they fizzled out. The best season was 73/74 when Leeds easily won the league (29 games unbeaten, a record! at the time) and Man Utd were relegated. Happy days indeed!

@@dod6031 And the Cup Winners Cup Final in 1973.

Once every 50 years is not too bad

Such a team we had back then, Giles, Jones, Gray, Bremner, Clarke et al, how I miss those glory days and the great attitude of the players, who played for the love of the beautiful game.

@@burkkuss7819 Truly a GREAT side who played football the way it should be played ALWAYS. RIP to those who are no longer with us but we will remember them always

Steve Martin £100m

Po who?

leeds utd is an abomination now, no passion like in 90s or 70s

They will, sooner than you hope for.

Andrew Buckley passion is back

erudzitis84 thats due to the administration

dont kid yourself they always been greedy

Celtic got beat 3-1 by Aberdeen the week before the Leeds game in the Scottish Cup final.

Lucky bastard

Celtic 1970 team was one of the best club sides I've ever seen and jimmy Johnson one of the greatest wingers.gary sprake let the first goal in within the first minute.i was at that game.happy birthday johnny giles 80 this week one of our greatest players.

+maniq minah Because the modern player is a mollycoddled pampered overpaid egotistical wanker by comparison. 40 quid to watch Leeds...50 for sheff weds fans......the game is shit today

+trippy119 can't argue with most of that, money aspect definitely changed it. you do still get amazing goals and whatever but the game seems so commercialised and empty now. teams have no real identity any more, they're all a mishmash of ever-changing random players/managers...

I didnt mean literally.

Dolbo Dolb He means "getting on with it " as in heads down and getting on with it like a man, in stead of rolling around the floor like a fucking drama queen or arguing with the referee

***** yeah basically that!

Lorimer was a Dundee supporter- is that a great badge of quality, masochism or poor judgment?

Eddy Gray was a fantastic and extraordinary left winger, as good as George Best. Paul Reaney one of best right back in those times. Gary Sprake a great goalkeeper.

Down with Sky and down with Murdoch who ruined UK

Although they are not solely to blame, Sky have also helped to ruin cricket and many other sports, though it has to be admitted that the various controlling bodies did not have to sell out to the highest bidder; they just could not resist. The fact that Sky can influence fixture lists and start times for matches is an insult to those who actually attend the matches. The real supporters are rarely considered.

I know it is a long time ago and the fortunes of the two clubs have been very different over the last 25 years; but, as a Yorkshireman, it does raise the spirits to watch this clip now and again!

Exactly, I thought the same. Great games, great atmosphere ... meat pies that burned your mouth!!

I bet they were aswell MOT 💛💙

and dirty play too

@@mizofan there is always one

I a lifelong Man Utd fan and loved Leeds. Just a polite question for you. How good were Celtic 63 to 67?

True, and it's not just my claim, but Malcolm Allison, Alan Ball, etc, but its only many years later that they admitted it publicly, which I understand!

Yes and he never flinched unlike today's players , mind you he was a hard bastard . I met him a cpl of times and he wasn't someone to mess with , not even a likeable person really but a great player .

they were well behind Everton in the league and won nothing

Derek. I couldn’t agree more with that sentiment. I find myself bored with the Premiership. It’s all about money now. The fans are unimportant to all Clubs now. Football is no longer a working mans sport. Such a shame.

I am an Arsenal fan and I hated Leeds back then but looking back I have to agree that Leeds were a truly great team.

Liverpool 74-91 was better

+Ibrahim Yansaneh 1. 1974 - 1990 liverpool 2. 1992 - 2013 Manchester United 3. 1964 - 1975 leeds united best three english teams I have ever seen

Couldn't be more wrong. 70's/80's Liverpool and 90's/00's Manchester United were far greater.

Wolfgang Von Poserkila around 72/73 Liverpool were good but Leeds edged it? Reds got stronger as Leeds declined. Very competitive league then, Arsenal had just done the double & don't forget Derby County?

I love Leeds exactly from Boxing Day in 1968. That was a match with Newcastle and I heard this on BBC World Service on shortwaves. I`m from Poland and in 1970 there was 4 teams in European Chamoionship: Leeds Celtic Feyenoord and Legia Warsaw. I was crossing fingers Leeds to draw with Legia but it drew Celtic. Although Leeds lost everything in the end it was most memorable season for me.

Yeah. Get fouled back then you dealt with it and now you get a free kick.

Useless cnt, had all day to put it away and dallied.Shocking !

Not really though. You lot were the team that revived Man Utd. Cheers for that. Now you are 53 trophies behind them!

Bye wolfy

That wasn't a brilliant M United side, they were on a run of seven defeats in a row.

+The doc Jones I'd just started supporting them at about this time in their history. I was seven :-) It's hard to believe what's happened since. Great shame.

Yes its tragic what is happening to Leeds hearbreaking, another defeat today against Birmingham at home leeds need major investment :(

Yes its tragic what is happening to Leeds hearbreaking, another defeat today against Birmingham at home leeds need major investment :(

The doc Jones I thought Cellini would do that, but it seems not. I hope I get to watch Leeds premiership games again before I drop!! :-)

Leeds will not get anywhere with cellino wont invest people always falling out with him you cant run a club like that im afraid it might get worse before iy=ts get better MOT :(

Thanks for the info.

The likes of Hunter and Bremner in particular had their reputations dented because of a media vendetta. The media in them days, as they do now, absolutely loved the team in red, and were quite openly biased against any team who took them on. As you can see here, they were truly magnificent footballers. Hard men, yes, but so was everyone in them days! They were certainly no worse than Chelsea or Liverpool at the time!

True. Who did the journalists (FWA) chose as there player of the year in 1974 Ian Callaghan. A far better player.

they were fine defenders, but one match they did play like donkeys was v West Brom; it cost Leeds the 71 league title, despite Sprake playing well

One mistake, and one useless referee cost Leeds the match v West Brom.

@@peterh1353 the players, his opponents ! voted for Hunter ,what's that tell you? I suppose you would say he threatened to bite there legs if they didnt?lol.thats his peers giving him the accolades

Me to bud ..63 now tho ouch lol

still waiting.....

January 2020...looks like it's going pear shaped AGAIN! LOL!

andrew colley Does not matter where from they were a real team in the true sense of the word.

not half on;y 4, the rest ENGLISH

And John Giles, who is Irish. That being said, they played for the Badge.

Mister Cee Except that was Morgan, not Best. Anyway, Cruyff was greater than Best, and players should be judged on overall careers, vision, effectiveness and consistency as well as some dazzling moments

right, of course Cruyff was much better than overrated Best

@@mizofan cruyff better than best?? Are you sure? Who told you that?

@@mizofan in fact. I'm adding this, are you kidding like?? No no no no, he Was NOT

Eddie gray better than best.lay of the crack

teehee1604 George who LOL

teehee1604 hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah....you are a great comediene

+teehee1604 are you mental?

+teehee1604 - Eddie Gray was a wonderful player, definitely as good as Best but he made the mistake of turning up for training, not dating Miss World and stumbling drunkenly out of night clubs and playing on the wrong side of the Pennines. And yes, he suffered from recurrent injuries.

Because Best was sober this day

Best is famous for scoring 5 goals against....4th Division Northampton.

6 goals not 5

great at bribery, corruption and dirty play

You see any dirty play in this game? No you don't, just skill and hard work. No accusations of bribery or corruption were ever proved.

+hardakml It is indeed! Not looking likely anytime soon :-(

Agreed. From a Leeds fan

indigenous Britons, That's the main thing, all this blm shit needs to piss off

for the 14th consecutive year in the championship. 😏
