Not a Leeds fan but love watching these videos. So well put together and some great tunes
As an Arsenal fan, some of this footage is gold
The disinterest in Leeds then was reflected in the unpopularity of the game as a whole at the time. The country seems football mad now and punters pay a fortune to watch their teams whereas at that time it was probably about a grumbling quid to stand and watch Leeds. Leeds are a classic example that you should never take the good times for granted. Great addition to series once again. There is nothing better on You Tube.
Leeds v Derby no love there
If you didn't go in these years, sadly, you missed out.
@@bradbb8013 Spot on.
Nice to hear abit of Big Country !
Anyone who was in those small crowds can be really proud of themselves. that's what a true fan is about (and I'm not a Leeds fan myself).
Yes mate i was there for every home games in the 80s
Great music , great memories of those times , season ticket holder all the way through 80s , 90s, and oo, 80s were the best
Gosh I remember the Arsenal FA Cup marathon and the problems at Derby so well, but this documentary is so well researched that it goes deep into the heart of these events. It is also intriguing to see rare club footage such as the Grimsby and Palace matches as well as the goals from the FA Cup 4th Round replay v Arsenal at Elland Road. The latter is something I have not seen since 1983.
Not a Leeds fan but this is a great series of videos if you’re interested in football history.
Brings back memories but also made me realize as a lifelong Leeds fan we really haven’t had too much to cheer about over the years but here we are still cheering on Leeds United
Another fantastic episode. Best thing on the telly! Great soundtrack. The only disappointment is when it ends...hope no.40 on its way next week 🤞
Arsenal fan here. This is a brilliant video, capturing what supporting a club entailed back then. Great footage of that first replay.
Great nostalgia and music
When’s the next?? Literally the best thing on KZhead this.
That season was when I went to most matches as a late teenager. Remember being in the South Stand when Rox scored. We were screaming at Lukic to get across his goal, as we could see a huge gap. Got to Nottingham when the Arsenal replay was postponed and went down again I think it was the next day. Moved to London from Leeds in 1985. Wonderful stuff lufcfilms.
Big Country RIP Mr Adamson
Great series brings back so many memories
This is the very best series covering Leeds' history yet made and I am counting "LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS" in that equation.
Great stuff, encapsulating what it was like to be axfan in the early eighties. Big Country too...just used that track in one of my West Ham videos. Great work as always.
Outstanding! Wonderful film again, from a time when football was better. Scanning all the photos to try and find young me! I still sing 'run run run run Ars-e-nal' whenever I see somebody running in the street, 40 years later in LOL! Sad I know, but some things stick in your mind decades later!
Another excellent video. Think Kenny Burns was as surprised as anyone to be voted player of the season. £850 pw was a big wage in 1983.
Port Vale fan here, but addicted to your videos, nice to see the great Neil Aspin as a young man, that end of season photo though LOL, they dont look happy. Again thanks for making these videos, an historical snapshot of a time i cant quite believe i lived through
later John Lukic went to Arsenal, Paul Hart to Forest and Arthur Graham to United. but wait! a former favourite's coming back!!! 🙂
Neil Aspin was a hero at Leeds. Unfortunately, one or two got on his case towards the end which was a disgrace.
@@mohdazmi10 Arthur Graham was at United. He then moved to Manchrester United.
@@michaelclayton960 Pedant!
Was at the second replay at Highbury. Remember Connor playing very well
Eddie Gray played out of his skin that night in midfield!
Brilliant early Christmas pressie ... Your fantastic editing and music knowledge is on point as ever... Have yourself an amazing Christmas and looking forward to the next video in the new year!! 🤍💛💙💛🤍 🙂👍
47 seconds is footage I shared on KZhead from our highlights of 82/83. Great to see it being used!!
Didn't realise those Club Match Videos were available as early as 82-3. Were they advertised in the Programme? I only remember them from the 1986-7 Season when they were produced by TVP of Sheffield & they also made an End of Season Compilation which is on KZhead.
Fantastic..as ever.
Happy days......went to most of them.... ain't growing old fun
Got to agree if was great in the 70s & 80s like you say went to most of these games home and away as for growing old being fun I'm not so sure with the aches and pains I suffer with now 🤣😂
@@mick6370 we had them in our 20's, we just weren't bothered or as vocal about them as we are now,got to moan about summat other than leeds' poor defence
Yes in them days it cost around a pound to watch the mighty Leeds United.
@@ga-ow7yf Pretty sure I was paying £1:50 to go in the Gelderd End about this time.
Yet another belter, in a long line of belters. Great job, and we're up to the music I listened to as a young un now too. MOT
Congratulations on your videos. Brings back memories of just how crazy it was. I think holligan problem and unemployment led to falling attendances at many clubs.
Just shows the media saying Leeds United Supporter's worst in the country rubbish all clubs had supporter's causing trouble just the media and FA had it in for us . Great video marching on together,we all love Leeds 🦚🇮🇨
I'm not a Leeds fan, but I enjoyed the videos. I can't believe that a once successful club were in so much turmoil
Pretty sure Terry Connors debut was Stoke away on a Friday night. Used to travel with the "Cockney White's" back in those days. Friends for life. M.O.T.
Connor scored on his debut in a 1-0 win aged 17 against West Brom at Elland Road .
@@mick6370 And I was there!!
I was there that nigjt !
Only 12 more episodes to the heartbreak 86/87 season and that iconic kit
Not long before this, Leeds were right up there with Celtic as the best teams in Britain, and maybe Europe! In Euro terms, both are nowhere now, even though Celtic are still a CL team.I 1970 European cup semi-final Celtic v Leeds - ATTENDANCE 140, 000, still a record to this day! How the mighty have fallen!!
A lad on the net think he,s scottish and there, said it was more like 200k everybody wanted a ticket Leeds Leeds Leeds!... 😎👍🏳️🇮🇨🏳️🇮🇨🇮🇨
@@horseon4730 Two of the greatest games played on these shores. Shame it wasn't the final. I also believe we (Celtic) underestimated Feyenoord, the way Inter Milan had done with us in 67, when we blew them away, playing a brand of football that was alien to them.
Apart from the Derby play-off 2nd leg, I don't think I'd ever felt as disappointed at the final whistle when Rix scored that equaliser. I was in south stand top tier (first row) and didn't see the ball go in, just the net bulge. And to lose the toss for the replay was salt in the wound.
Terry Connors school was foxwood in seacroft not foxton just saying 😌
My School some good footy lads at that school !
I have watched all of these but I can't quite recall, was it massive wages paid to players signed by Alan Clarke that caused the financial difficulties?
Jimmy Armfield was in the process of rebuilding an ageing squad. His sacking was the catalyst for a downward spiral. A lack of investment in the playing squad and an increaes in knee-jerk decision making all contributing,
@@michaelclayton960 having watched these videos, Leeds looked good or even excellent under Armfield, I couldn't understand why he was sacked.
