He's sadly forgot in the Leeds players of that period & he was the main goal scorer too. I think it was he was a simple direct striker & didn't have that Leeds cache of the others like Clarke Lorimer Gray Bremner & Giles, even Bates. It's odd really but he came & went without much fanfare. He needs to be recognised more in what he gave to Leeds which was a lot of goals & never maimed anyone either!

I was shocked when Brian said Leeds had four or five first team players out, I could name every player in the starting 11, and I'm a Chelsea fan! When he later said Clarke and Giles were missing amongst others I thought they must have had the strongest squad around at that time, when besides the first 11 or 12 the rest were often a second 11. I always enjoyed the Leeds games, they were such needle matches between the two teams from the late 60's to mid 70's, a real rivalry at the time. And as Brian said about Ozzie and Hunter, they will be friends afterwards; usually they were down the kings road anytime they were both in town.

@@spanishpeaches2930 I would have been about 8 then went to a number of home games that year but not this one. Unfortunately I've also lost any real interest in the modern game, I stopped going to Chelsea when they put the kids price up to a fiver, thanks to their financial issues from the late seventies onwards. I ended up with a season ticket at Brentford for four years, the first two seasons were a tenner, then twelve for the next too. That my dad could afford lol. Once the money came into the game it changed beyond recognition and I slowly lost interest. I'll still watch England or Wales games if I'm about, but I don't make a point of seeing them. As for my last game I watched live it was probably a playoff final at Wembley around twenty years ago (Brentford losing as usual) and Chelsea was a couple of years before that for the opening game of the season. I just don't feel justified in paying the price of tickets now and I don't feel the atmosphere is the same.

As regards the football, although Leeds were known as Dirty Leeds they were full of skilful footballers, a mix of English and Scottish players who were as Malcolm Alison said were all great pros. Most of these players played for their clubs for extended periods unlike todays pros. The best side ever? Probably not judged from todays perspective but certainly the best of that era.

Leeds were a very good side back then and were very underrated due to their ability to literally fight their way around the pitch when needed but could really play when needed. Malcolm Allison was also a superb analyst and far better than the clueless ex professionals they hire nowadays. And analysts were only in the studio while the commentator did his job of commentating without an ex pro constantly butting in spouting inane crap mostly. So much better organised back then. I would be nice if those lessons were learned and still used but the need for hyperbole and publicity trumps common sense.

The commentator mentioned Chelsea good form going into the game (4 wins and 2 draws against Arsenal and Man U) but this was the start of a 10 year decline of Chelsea. They lost 4 games in a row including a 4-2 defeat by struggling West Ham on Boxing day when they were 2-0 up at half time. Osgood and Hudson were dropped and refused to train with the first team for the next defeat by Liverpool. They were both suspended by the club and transfer listed. Webb left at the end of the season and Chelsea were relegated the next year with Hollins, Kember and Garland sold by the debt ridden club. Baldwin was treated for alcoholism at the same time. So 7 of the team that day were gone by the end of the next season. I think Bonetti left too but came back when John Phillips had a long term injury.

What a team Leeds had in that title winning season. Chelsea too. The First Division was so competitive back then. A great game.
That 51 minutes flew by. No tattoos, no snoods, no diving, no pathetic goal celebrations, no seats, no stewards trying to order folk around, no app required to get in.
The late, great Peter Houseman for Chelsea. (He sadly died in a car crash with his wife several years later), but what a legend.
He lived in Oakley near Basingstoke,the junior Leagues were named after him as a tribute. They might still be to this day!
Very underated player whom went about his business quietly. Almost unnoticed. Whilst the Osgoods,Hudsons and Cookes grabbed all the headlines.

Mick Jones was a great player and as a young Liverpool fan in the 1970s he was the one in that great Leeds team that I really feared. Very underrated though, as he is not the first name that comes to mind for most people.
How he never went to the world cup in 1970 was criminal. Bloody Ramsey took England back 20 years after winning the world cup. He should have gone after the euros 68
Well remember Mick Jones, he was such a prolific goalscorer and as you say greatly underrated.
He's sadly forgot in the Leeds players of that period & he was the main goal scorer too. I think it was he was a simple direct striker & didn't have that Leeds cache of the others like Clarke Lorimer Gray Bremner & Giles, even Bates. It's odd really but he came & went without much fanfare. He needs to be recognised more in what he gave to Leeds which was a lot of goals & never maimed anyone either!
Agreed 100% - it's very like my favourite Chelsea player from this period - Ian Hutchinson - THE hero of the 1970 Cup Final.
Mick Jones is my all-time footballing hero. He was the best centre forward in the country by a country mile and it is criminal that he wasn't used more by England. Sadly his career ended early due to a knee injury - the sort of problem that would be sorted easily today.
I was shocked when Brian said Leeds had four or five first team players out, I could name every player in the starting 11, and I'm a Chelsea fan! When he later said Clarke and Giles were missing amongst others I thought they must have had the strongest squad around at that time, when besides the first 11 or 12 the rest were often a second 11. I always enjoyed the Leeds games, they were such needle matches between the two teams from the late 60's to mid 70's, a real rivalry at the time. And as Brian said about Ozzie and Hunter, they will be friends afterwards; usually they were down the kings road anytime they were both in town.
It's a show of their greatness that i could still just about name the starting eleven.of a Leeds team of the early Seventies far more easily than i could my own team of Everton....i could name four probably.
@@spanishpeaches2930 I could still name the Chelsea players as well, but such was the Leeds strength in those times that they are the most memorable team. Talking of the Chelsea team I must admit I was surprised that Tommy Baldwin was still starting games in '73, I didn't remember him doing that in the games I actually went to that season.
@@tonypetts6663 I would have been 12 when this was played and many of my friends were Leeds fans....we were all from Hull...used to go and see city play too. Can remember most of that side. On another front...Peter Houseman was brought up in the comments...i had forgotten about the tragedy that befell him and his wife and two friends...that driver would have been jailed for probably eight years plus nowadays. Back in 77 as well...time really flies. Even though i still follow EFC, my love for the game went ten years back after slowly declining over the past 20 years. The greed for wealth just ruined it all for me. 1996 and the Euros was really the last time i seriously enjoyed it. Last match i went to was 2008. Atb.
@@spanishpeaches2930 I would have been about 8 then went to a number of home games that year but not this one. Unfortunately I've also lost any real interest in the modern game, I stopped going to Chelsea when they put the kids price up to a fiver, thanks to their financial issues from the late seventies onwards. I ended up with a season ticket at Brentford for four years, the first two seasons were a tenner, then twelve for the next too. That my dad could afford lol. Once the money came into the game it changed beyond recognition and I slowly lost interest. I'll still watch England or Wales games if I'm about, but I don't make a point of seeing them. As for my last game I watched live it was probably a playoff final at Wembley around twenty years ago (Brentford losing as usual) and Chelsea was a couple of years before that for the opening game of the season. I just don't feel justified in paying the price of tickets now and I don't feel the atmosphere is the same. Just out of interest this channel has a couple of Everton Vs Chelsea games from 1969 and 73 that I've watched, though you may want to avoid the 73 match!
@@tonypetts6663 Haha..you never can tell with Everton...had some great moments in the Seventies but also a few clangers too : )
Thanks so much for these. Was at school then Uni in London in the sixties & seventies. Fantastic memories. Went to games at Stamford Bridge, Highbury, White Hart Lane, Craven Cottage, Loftus Road and Once to Upton Park. Not so expensive then.
Always remember our English teacher Mr Mead saying he was at uni/college very near to the 'Bridge: and it would be in the days of Osgood, Hollins etc. He was a stern so and so but had a gleam in his eye when reminiscing about those student footy days!
Astonishing picture quality for 1973
This is the football I grew up with in Australia coming home from school and putting on Match of The Day with Jimmy Hill,the best.
Thanks for these. Memories of my boyhood days indeed. Sunday afternoon around my Grandad's house watching football in COLOUR, LOL. Later, perhaps time left, to emulate the heroes wearing my No.11 Charlie George shirt:)
In colour! Lucky you, but bw was the norm for 90% of the population.
Great to see again. I was 8 year old and a Leeds fan. I remember most of these players. They were hero’s to me. I remember Joe Jordan playing for Scotland. Never forget Billy Bremner playing for Scotland Argentina 78. Last game verses Holland. Bremner nearly did it for Scotland. What a great Leeds team. Match of the day Saturday night. Big match on a Sunday afternoon. Real footballers. Even the adverts bring back happy memories. Thanks.
Leeds had , how can I say it, an excess of talent those days. They slaughtered Arsenal and Man U, and were extremely unlucky not to grab the European Cup, too. Don Revie introduced the European - style wave to the fans at the start of the game, and even sock garter tags a la boy scout.

Who on earth underrated Billy Brenner? One of the greatest footballers ever to play in the league, about 550 games for Leeds and more than 50 for his country. There’s a bloody statue of him outside Elland Rd!
Nice to see corners being taken with the ball inside the quadrant not outside touching the last possible spot of white paint.
My first game was at the Bridge the season before. Ian Hutchinson was out with a broken leg but was hanging around on crutches to talk to the fans near the turnstiles. Who can imagine that happening today!??
Now that’s what I call a real game of football!!!
greatest team the London press has ever hated!!!!!
Gawd, this is so much better to watch than the stuff I ( occasionally) see today. I recall all these players, an era when players weren't mobile advertising billboards. And Brian Moore's commentating is impeccable.

That Leeds team…. Wow. No players like that around nowadays.
My good mate Gary Locke playing in this game, he was only 19
My dad was at that game against Wednesday. He said that grown men had tears in their eyes as the teams took the field. I remember the Coventry game too. We were sliding down towards relegation and despite a brief rally towards the end of the season, we did go down. And another piece of history, Best's goal against Coventry was the last one he ever scored for United. His last game for us was against QPR on January 1st, 1974. We lost 0-3.
There was a Best playing for West Ham, And I wondered if George Best did go over to West Ham. And it didn't look entirely unlike him. But, no, it was another Best.

Big Mal should have been an England Coach/Manager.......impressive knowledge of tactics and foreign teams.
I was at this game nearly 50 years ago. Brian Moore was a well respected commentator well liked by the players and managers. In later life he became a committed Christian. As regards the football, although Leeds were known as Dirty Leeds they were full of skilful footballers, a mix of English and Scottish players who were as Malcolm Alison said were all great pros. Most of these players played for their clubs for extended periods unlike todays pros. The best side ever? Probably not judged from todays perspective but certainly the best of that era.
Leeds were a very good side back then and were very underrated due to their ability to literally fight their way around the pitch when needed but could really play when needed. Malcolm Allison was also a superb analyst and far better than the clueless ex professionals they hire nowadays. And analysts were only in the studio while the commentator did his job of commentating without an ex pro constantly butting in spouting inane crap mostly. So much better organised back then. I would be nice if those lessons were learned and still used but the need for hyperbole and publicity trumps common sense.
Underrated? By who? You must be a Millennial because any football fan back in the day knew they were the best team in the land.
@@seltaeb9691 I wish I was a millenial as I am in my mid 50s! I meant that historically Leeds legacy has been a bit undeserving due to their uncompromising nature. The best team in the land were my mighty reds of Liverpool who conquered both Europe and England back then. Leeds were excellent but not at that level.

That bloody East Stand was the start of the bad times at Chelsea
THIS game was the start of bad times for Chelsea. It started a bad run that went through to the New Year with Chelsea 2-0 against West Ham at hald time and losing 4-2 Hudson and Osgood were dropped and refused to train with the 1st team and they were moved on with only David Hay to replace Hudson. Webb left at the end of that season too. The next season Peter Houseman was playing at left back sharing the role with a 16 year old. Tommy Baldwin was drying out.

Leeds won the League that season and only 7 months after this game was played Cloughie became manager. He messed it up with his huge ego and after he left that same Leeds team that he disrespected got to the European Cup final and could easily have won apart from a couple of close referee decisions .

where were you when you were Sh.....?.well 40 ,000 biggest crowd of the day lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep the blue flag flying high !
Within a month Hudson was gone
The commentator mentioned Chelsea good form going into the game (4 wins and 2 draws against Arsenal and Man U) but this was the start of a 10 year decline of Chelsea. They lost 4 games in a row including a 4-2 defeat by struggling West Ham on Boxing day when they were 2-0 up at half time. Osgood and Hudson were dropped and refused to train with the first team for the next defeat by Liverpool. They were both suspended by the club and transfer listed. Webb left at the end of the season and Chelsea were relegated the next year with Hollins, Kember and Garland sold by the debt ridden club. Baldwin was treated for alcoholism at the same time. So 7 of the team that day were gone by the end of the next season. I think Bonetti left too but came back when John Phillips had a long term injury.

He was 'missing' during this game looking at the highlights.
@@grimupnorth He lived with Geoff Hurst and his wife for a bitwhen he moved to stoke in an attempt to keep him off the booze
@@dlamiss He always spoke more highly of Tony Waddington than Dave Sexton.
When football was played by men..Say no more..🤔
Osgood; a player whose ego was almost as large as his inadequacies...
Nice of you, to slag off the dead.
That header in the cup final at old Trafford against Leeds that was pretty inadequate, don't you think,
Yes, or that goal of the season against Arsenal, that was poor, too.
@@jtlampsu2 I slagged him off when he was alive. Your point is?
@@smokingbrush2498 well means you only posted the comment yesterday, THAT is my point.
bonneti like a 13 year old in goal, he's struggling to get his goal kicks to the centre circle.
Probably distracted by thinking his wife was shagging someone behind his back as in Mexico.
I miss 70s and 80s football. The more I watch the football I grew up with the less inclined I am to watch the "woke" 2022 Qatar 🇶🇦 World Cup!
And not a tattoo in sight!
Prefer this team to that of Bielsa any day and yet the fan boys idolise him.
God, in all honesty they really were crap at football back then, hey.
Some really poor errors, I agree, but at least both sides were made up of good old British players. No diving. No pitches made up of half plastic, half grass (as today). No matches lasting 100 minutes. No spoilt brats like Ronaldo. Those were the days - miss-kicks and all.
The pitches were terrible which account for a lot of the miss-kicks.
the ball was heavier too ...this accounts for the style of the Game ...but still so much more REAL than Todays fakes ......they are embarrassing to watch ......!
My era at the bridge as a teenager Some 50 years ago .. Wonder who will be watching in another 50 years not me 😪 And we all hate Leeds and Leeds and Leeds 🤣
