This marked the beginning of the end for the great Man.Utd sixties team. Ageing Bobby Charlton and a creaking defence. They also suffered hammerings from a young Ipswich and Crystal Palace teams 4-0 and 5-0. Best new the game was up and soon realised his time was better spent on a bar stool. The club had failed to invest and were soon relegated a few years later.

The good old days when most players playing in the old Division One were from the home countries.
Oh happy days. Brings tears to my eyes. I was 15 back then and was in my usual spot behind the goal where all our goals went in. Leeds have been in my blood since September 66 when aged 9 my Dad took me to see us beat Sunderland 2-1. I can recall some great times down at Elland Road and ' My Boys' certainly ensured that this day was one of them cheers Lads , RIP Billy, our greatest ever player.
Giles and Bremner - what a paring. It was like an extra man in the midfield.
Great Days I was only 13
Bad day at the office for my team, but still great to watch - this was a golden era for English football. Great Leeds, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Wolves, Everton, City and United (well until about 1970 anyway) teams, nearly every year there was a different First Division champion, and regular success in Europe too. Proper man's game in those days.
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
The range of passing from Giles was a joy to watch.
Cracking game, dominated by the great Leeds side of that time. the game back then was how it should be played,
i'm an Algerian i have 27 year the first thing i know about england football is Leeds United i'm a big fan of them i hope i can see them in the premier league again
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!
Leeds were on fire that day .... I was there aged 12 !
Ok boomer
?
How I miss this kind of football. Back then it was a sport rather than a money making ,or losing, business , populated with prima donnas with no connection to the fans, and little sense of what the TEAM means to them
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
if Jonny Giles played today, he would be worth a fortune, Pogba could never match his passing, or effort
Steve Martin £100m
We all love Leeds! Greetings from Greece! #MOT
ALAW
First time I've seen this set of highlights and how interesting they are. Everyone remembers the 30+ passes we strung together against Southampton a couple of weeks later, but the lads toyed with Man Utd too. Interesting that Allan Clarke was very instrumental in both those sessions of keep-ball. Not only am I blessed to have been at both matches, as I used to help my day as a programme seller at the time, I got in free.
You can find extended highlights
When goalkeepers didn't wear gloves
Possibly one of the best teams in English football ever!
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.
Billy Bremner chasing that lost cause at 4:40 like an express train and keeping the ball in play which set up the 5th goal typifies how the wee man used to motivate his team mates. That goal (and many others) wouldn't have happened without his never say die attitude. One of a kind, what a leader.
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.
I was there, what a fantastic memory to see all those legends of the day.
The attackers could defend,and the defenders could attack whilst Eddie Gray made Georg Best look as though he was playing in "sea boots.
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
Super Leeds ! what a domimant performance that was. Vintage football from a great Era.
Once every 50 years is not too bad
I love Leeds. I was so sad when they got relegated. My heart is with them, and I hope they become great again.
something about early 70s football. much more of a heads down, 'get on with it' attitude, and more sense of team solidarity compared to now...
+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!
these guys actually played for the pride of the club rather than the pay cheque, Leeds need to find that spirit again
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
Mick Jones involved in every goal for Leeds Utd, should be remembered just as the star players are!
I was at this game, my first visit to Elland road and this happens. Celtic beat Leeds but don't forget Celtic had it easy in their respective League.Don't forget Leeds were playing 60 games a season on very heavy pitches agains some very very good sides. 18 internationals in the squad all from the the UK.These days the so called top sides spend a fortune to get silverware, some have NO UK born players in their team. Very sad to see.I think Leeds will come good again, but will take time.
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.
Best team in the history of soccer by a mile LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS👍👏❤
I a lifelong Man Utd fan and loved Leeds. Just a polite question for you. How good were Celtic 63 to 67?
When footballers were tough as the boots they were & weren't afraid of getting stuck in when it mattered & yep Leeds of old probably the best team of that era 👍👍👍
Best English team I ve ever seen. Fantastic players !! Bremner was the greatest !! Peter Lorimer was a Dundee supporter and a very underrated player. Seen them play at Dens park in Peter Lorimers testimonial and they were brilliant !! Real football !!
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.
Wow did I just see Sir Bobby Charleton and George Best get smashed 5-1? Wow this Leeds team was amazing
I was in the crowd that day. Great memories. :-)
I bet they were aswell MOT 💛💙
" A bit of trouble in the crowd...the police are sorting it out", classic old school commentary!😜
A beautiful sequence of football even after the 5 goals had been scored- presumably this WASN'T what Cloughie was referring to when he had his pops at them! The passing (heaven only knows what that would be like on the pitches of today!), the movement (TOTAL football before the wonderful Dutch side coined the phrase for sure 2 years later)...a joy to watch and almost a pity that sport of this quality wasn't more rewarded at the time.
Precision. Pace. Power. Punch. This is a brilliant display by a team that embodied the quintessence of football intelligence.
and dirty play too
@@mizofan there is always one
Celtic met Leeds in their prime, and over both legs of the 1970 EC SF took Leeds apart. We lost the final because we underestimated the opposition.
There was really good footballers in those days. Great skill, accurate passing, good shooting, and all on a muddy pitch.
the 1970's the best decade for football, how ironic that sky who ruined british football are showing it..
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!!
The Leeds v Liverpool games in the 70s were also something special if l remember.
From 65-75 Leeds won 2 league titles, 1 FA Cup, 2 Fairs Cups, 1 League Cup. Runners up: 5 leagues, 3 FA Cups, 1 Fairs Cup, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup, 1 European Cup (+ 1 European cup semi, 2 charity shields, 1 charity shield runner up). They were unlucky not to win a few more trophies in that time.
That tackle on Alan Clarke was so late it was 1973
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 .
NO FOOTBALL STAR JUST ONE AWESOME TEAM. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!
Olé football from Leeds, easily the best team in the early 70's
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!
John Giles was an awesome player
When footballers were footballers
Leeds had at the time some good players, that was about the time 72 I supported them. Over the years they always had good players that played for Leeds, but looking back it's so nice to see what the team was like back in those days with passion and flare.
Pure artistry. There's extended highlights of Leeds masterclass on You Tube.
Three occasions when the Gelderd End would be guaranteed to buzz with excitement. 1. Lorimer lining up to take a free kick with the goal in visual range. 2. Eddie Gray on the ball taking on a defender - hopes of Burnley revisited. 3..Billy Bremner on the ball anywhere - a sense that anything cold happen.
That simple , Leeds united 1968-74 played the best football we 've ever seen in England
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 could watch football like this all day. I struggle with watching these premodonas rolling around on the floor for 5 minutes now.
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.
Great to see it live I had a season ticket in West Stand, then!
Love Leeds, Love Leeds, Love Leeds, We wont forget you legends, DON Revie, Billy Bremner, L U F C 1970's.
Absolutely superb display from a leeds side at their peak Happy memories
Whatever Clough said, Leeds were a great team. On their day, by far the best. Yorkshire hasn’t had one like them since.
I am a great fan of the Celtic team in that day. They really were fab. However, you have to remember that the Leeds team in that season was literally ground into oblivion with the amount of games they played. I believe there was an 18 day gap between the FA Cup final and the reply against Chelsea. They had small squads in those days. I am not saying that's why Celtic won but please lets think about it
they were well behind Everton in the league and won nothing
Fantastic football from a great team brings back memories!
Was George Best still on holiday?
Never seemed like Jones was so very good at the time ...Brilliant !
Best commentator ever, let you watch without non stop tripe just the odd remark
When My football was a golden period of endless excitement. Leeds Utd were the team of that day.
Some very skillful touches by Giles - great balance, both feet.
Not taking anything away from Leeds but that was shocking defending from Man Utd. Virtually every goal was bundled / tapped in from about 6 yards
All down to the Don.... he saw the future. And wow, what a legend he created for the generation of fans who adore this club.... the legacy he made...RIP you lost legends, thank you.
Don Review, great Straight Manager.RIP.
My first Leeds game was in 1965 when they had just got promoted from the old second division. I stood on the kop, before it had a roof on and saw them play Spurs off the pitch 4-1. They had some great players then Alan Peacock, Bobby Collins, John Charles and Albert Johannsen, a black South African, probably the only coloured professional in league football then. All forgotten now, but they were the forerunners of the great Leeds side seen in this clip, great days, we will never see their like again.
I was in the Lowfields Road stand. A great performance by Leeds in general and Mick Jones, Shireoaks' finest footballer, in particular. There were horrible crowd disturbances inside and outside the ground.
I reckon Bielsa and Guardiola must have watched this match a few times, Leeds played the high pressing game against a brilliant Man Utd side, so much so it looked like Charlton & Best were centre backs. MOT
That wasn't a brilliant M United side, they were on a run of seven defeats in a row.
Those were my heroes, forever and a day.
Ahhh those were the days. I never missed worshipping at the shrine of Bremner, Giles and all the rest in those days and was behind the goal as usual for this match. I'll never see these days again but at least i have many great memories.
Saw this destruction myself .... I was there as a 12yr old 👍 Super Leeds !
Me to bud ..63 now tho ouch lol
When you see the great History Leeds have its so sad to see them in there current predicament, we can only hope that Cellino invests what he can and get Leeds back where they belong in the Premier League MOT :-(
+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 :(
Compare in contrast, Allen Clarke fouled 3:22. If that'd been in today's premier league the player would've gone down as if taken out by a sniper and the other player would've got a red card!! 70's football was mans football!!!
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 !
What a pleasure to hear the cultured voice of Barry Davies again, arguably the best ever on the BBC. Sorry, Motty .....
As a liverpool fan, I hated Leeds in this era & with good reason, from the mid sixties to the mid seventies they were are biggest rivals.But I loved this time (proper football & atmosphere) & have to admit Leeds had some team
Class
I was at that match in the Geldered End, I think I'm right in saying Leeds had beaten Southampton 7-0 a week or so earlier at Elland Road. I remember them flicking the ball from one player to the next for a 5 minute spell and the Saints never touched the ball once.
The last champions of England 92
Not really though. You lot were the team that revived Man Utd. Cheers for that. Now you are 53 trophies behind them!
Bye wolfy
Real football, real indigenous Britons, real talent, real men.
indigenous Britons, That's the main thing, all this blm shit needs to piss off
I LOVE a good beat-down (when my team is doing the beating).
Thanks for the info.
Why does the score change from 5-1 to 3-1 then back to 5-1?
Bobby Charlton, a gentleman back then and since. from a liverpool fan.
Agreed. From a Leeds fan
That was a magnificent Leeds side but I’m always left wondering if Mick Jones ever scored a clean goal!
We are back in Premier League once again. Look out! Bielsa means business.
Why was there so much unused pitch behind the goals?
This was a poor United side that had been in decline for several years. Charlton was in is last season as was Best who by this time spent more time in the bar than the training ground. Law had gone to City and relegation was not for away. Doesn't get away from this being a very fine Leeds team. Pity Wolves beat them in the final game of the season otherwise they would have done the double.
we love you leeds
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.
1:41 whoa, what a great move.
Que o Leeds volte a seus tempos de gloria
I hear people say Charlton and Hunter were donkey's. Really? Charlton footballer of the year 1967 and Hunter was the first PFA player of the year 1974. To the detractors I say 'up yours.' Put Billy as player of the year 1970 as well and you have to say to yourself. How did this happen if everyone hated them? How did they get so many votes?
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
The most trophied club in England during this era was Aston Villa but you won't hear the media mention it.
