But the bottom line,they were a fantastic team,with so much talent!. You Yorkshiremen should always feel proud!(I'm absolutely jealous, considering at the crap coming out of Tottenham these days!). And I don't care what anyone says FOOTBALL was better back then!..Now we have more FLASH&Pazazz,a lighter football(which allows the most average player to bend a shot in from 50 yes!)very little Physicality,way to much "diving"! and so on!..But this was the game we loved👍

Michels, Cruyff, Neeskens made a football machine of Ajax, but could not do that to Barca in 1975-1978. That happened 15 years later.
Gotta love Dave Coleman's commentary..The master of emphasis, one-liners and at key moments total silence..A real one-off!
jordan.....yorath.........CLARKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leeds deserve, absolute respect. From a long, lived Liverpool fan
From a long lived Man U fan, I agree with you. Leeds and Liverpool were the top dogs in the 1970s.
@@mrjones29 Manchester United spent a few years in and out of relegation in the 70s but the club was still massive with great support, old Trafford in the standing era was awesome, Leeds fan ☮️
I didn’t go to this game as I was 4 and my first game was in 1978 against Arsenal and Brian greenhoff was making his debut that Wednesday night...An old Man U favourite if I remember correctly
I'm so impressed - this Leeds team could really play. So comfortable on the ball, every one of them. And hard, properly hard.
Dirty
@@athelstan927 What do you want from us? We are the Dirty Leeds for a lot of people. One more makes no difference.
I feel that Paul Reaney was an unsung hero of those glory days of the Great Leeds Utd sides of that time !
HE WAS A GREAT DEFENDER - WHO COULD PLAY AS WELL
I was lucky enough to be at this game,Caught the train from Luton £20.00 return! changed at Sheffield. Arrived in Leeds late afternoon. The City was Rocking!! jumped on a double decker bus to the ground and the atmosphere was electric. Got talking to a few lads and they could'nt believe I had come up from Luton, One of the best days of my life, I will never forget it... SUPER LEEDS UNITED.
I was there too in the West Stand, I had a season ticket. Memorable day!
grimeyboy28 you are very old then
do you think you will not grow old, Life is a slow Tragedy,coming to a cinema near you....
DWI And you are too young to have ever seen football when it was a game of sport played by real men in stadiums that had electric atmospheres, not overpaid nancy boys playing in sterile surroundings!
Were you born in Leeds?
I saw this Leeds United team against my team (Chelsea) at the beginning of the 1970's - I have always been impressed by them and they were, without doubt, the first "Superteam" this Country ever produced.
+Boxersboy1964 I'm not a Leeds fan , or Manchester United , but I think you will find that the "Busby Babes" were the first "Superteam" as you put it this country ever prouduced , . If i'm wrong I will apologise
+Clive Bindley Always look out for Turks carrying knives.....
+scrabble58 I do mate..all the time :-)
+Clive Bindley Really?? You're happy that innocent people died?? smh fucking Leeds fans, you guys deserve to be where you are now...
Couldn't live with Celtic FC.
leeds were better than us and it was fair that they progressed to the final, and they might have taken the trophy if they hadn't been robbed in the final
Yes I agree ☝️
cheers man, yes we were robbed in the final. respect
Well said sir 🙏☮️
In lockdown watching old matches ! David Coleman the noise of the crowd , love em or hate em the Leeds side of the early 70s had lots of skill and steel one of the best sides ever.
Cruyff was the greatest player I have ever seen, and Neeskens was not far behind. Yet Leeds made them look ordinary that night. Unquestionably in my mind one of the three greatest English club sides ever, alongside Busby's 1968 Man Utd side and the Liverpool of the late 80s. Also fantastic commentary by the late, great David Coleman.
WELL SAID, living near Leeds I had the pleasure of watching this great side during the whole of it's glory years, 65-75, this was the last great season, from 76 we were past our best,
Leeds was an interesting team to watch but today's Man City would crush them.
Reaney made that second goal for Leeds. He was a class, quality player.
Celtic fan, Always liked Leeds United, great club great support.
fantastic atmosphere and brilliant commentary - Leeds were robbed in the Final for what should have been their crowning glory. What a team they were.
Dirty Leeds
I was there and you just had to admire the ball skills of Cruyff on that night. Just brilliant and it was a fantastic night for Leeds.
Impressionante como o futebol se tornou uma 💩 nos dias atuais. Essa época era "de verdade", sem mimimi. Saudades do verdadeiro futebol. Parabéns Marinho Peres!!! Jogou no meu grande SANTOSSS de Pelé, Edu e Cia. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏
Great game, passing outstanding, kicking lumps out of each other but still oozing skill, commitment and determination.
Inolvidable equipo del leeds de esa época, los bremner, Giles, lorimer, clarke, y antes con j. Charlon y m. Jones, equipo de leyenda!
Wow, what a game! Great job Leeds. Grit, determination and class. 2 brilliant half volley goals to seal it. Never a foul to gift them the equalizing free kick either.
Indirect free kick, I'm assuming for obstruction, you never see that nowadays.
Leends mi equipo en principios de los 2000 era un equipazo y le sigo con el leends espero q suba en este año ..vamos leends....
the tackles were crunching in them days and the players just got on with it unlike today lol
This Leeds team were fantastic , skilled , committed and versatile .....great team !!
Leeds really really was the best club team in the world in the early 70,s ....without doubt !!
Maybe in England, but the best club in Europe was Ajax, the club Cruyff was playing for until 73. Won the European Cup 3 times in a row.
Thank you so much for uploading. I am a Dutch man and a huge Barcelona fan. This however the first time I was able to see my two fellow Dutch man Johan Cruyff and Johan Neeskens play for Barcelona. I must say the Leeds played better than Barca here and deservingly won.
Make a nice comment and get 2 snide replies...why?
Lol
Cruyff my favourite player of all time, pure genius (Leeds fan since 72)
Leeds werd daar keihard genaaid bij de vrije trap voor de gelijkmaker. Was in de verste verte geen vrije trap
Great footage, this Leeds team were some side, how good was Paul Reeney BTW! Love the old atmosphere in the stands!
Celtic V Leeds in 71 European Cup semi final was epic....still a record attendance I think. A genuine Battle of Britain 。
Negative it was may 1970.im 67 I know was at the game at elland road.
As a long suffering Spurs fan..I don't mind admitting I was also a a fan of Leeds,and any team who played good Football!Sure they were Tough (u hear many a comment they were Dirty!)but I think they just played hard(except for Norman Hunter,who could play&certainly kick lumps out of the opposition!) But the bottom line,they were a fantastic team,with so much talent!. You Yorkshiremen should always feel proud!(I'm absolutely jealous, considering at the crap coming out of Tottenham these days!). And I don't care what anyone says FOOTBALL was better back then!..Now we have more FLASH&Pazazz,a lighter football(which allows the most average player to bend a shot in from 50 yes!)very little Physicality,way to much "diving"! and so on!..But this was the game we loved👍
I am Austrian, 12 years young back then ... I was a SUPER LEEDS UNITED FAN! Loved their game - and notice - it was 1975 - sooo different to "know" or "watch" a foreign soccer club ... and I love all the super players ... in that time LEEDS UNITED just had only NATION TEAM PLAYERS in the team! England - Wales - Scotland - Northern Ireland just heros in the team! And remember or let you tell you (younger readers :-) ) WE HAD THAT SUPER-SEMIFINAL: REAL MADRID - BAYERN MÜNCHEN ... FC BARCELONA - LEEDS UNITED .... Bayern went over Real Madrid - Lees went over Barcelona ... LEEDS UNITED was the super-big favourite for the final in Paris vs Bayern ... LEEDS dominated the whole match ... Bayern came 2-times before the LEEDS goalkeeper ... and scored 2 goals ... well ... then the Leeds fans oer "fans" droped down to the field their plastic seats ... and MY SUPER CLUB WAS BANNED FROM INTERNATIONAL GAMES for years ... all the stars left LEEDS UNITED of course ... A SUPER TIME OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL ... Ajax ... Bayern ... Leeds ... Barcelona .... Real ... I WILL ALWYS REMEMBER MY STARS OF FOOTBAL IN THESE 1970s ... ♥
We play Leeds first game of this season, just glad it's not this side. They were summat else. When The Beautiful Game was for blokes, not falling about wankers as is today.
@QuickQuickSlowSlow55 Those in glass houses........ etc, illiterate, socialist ignoramus that you are!
@@VictorOctavian Exactly!
You said it - can you imagine todays premier league ponces lasting more than five minutes in the 70s
Can you even spell? You're a disgrace
Oh my god. I should have known that if I went onto a video based in the 70s I would be surrounded by ultra conservative boomers.
A classic game to watch, even now, and there was no shirt pulling in them days, just a great game to watch, apart from the referees decision to give a free kick, I felt that Reaney did his upmost to win the ball fairly.
Reaney did shoulder charge a bit but that was nothing in them days but Europe is high standards so don't give anything away.
And no passing the ball back and spitting
Thanks. I do not recall teams in Spain allowing 3 players on the field all at the same time until the early 90's. Real Madrid comes to mind: Netzer/Breitner in 74-77; Jensen/Stielike in 77-79; Stielike/Cunningham in 79-82; Stielike/Metgod in 82-84; Stielike/Valdano in 84-85; Valdano/Hugo Sanchez in 85-87... In the early 90's I recall Prosinecki/Rocha/Hagi in 90-92... then, of course, along came the Bosman ruling and the rest is history
Super Leeds in action against Barcelona in the European Cup semi-final at r church Elland Road great atmosphere who are we all leeds aren't we leeds leeds leeds salute !
900k for a player in 1975 though! Crazy money back then, worth it and very few clubs if any others at all could have paid that, Cruyff was fucking amazing, I did the AJAX ground tour recently and his legend lives on, Made really intense after a nice smoke (fuck it, I was in Amsterdam) Seeing the 3 European cups won in a row is amazing Obviously includes the original full size one Amazing player And it was watching players like cruyff that made me fall in love with the game growing up.
40 years and very high quality!!!
That first Leeds goal was poetry..ball drilled up to big man , knock down and half volley finish from BB... love to watch that today, but it just does not happen....RIP Johan..BBrem..Paul Madeley, Yorath etc..great times
Terry Yorath R.I.P.... ps: Has anyone told HIIM yet?
Reenie and Clarke were the bollocks.
Nao imaginava o quanto era bom esse time do Leeds!!! Grande logo dos ingleses e não foi falta no gol catalão, errou feio o Juiz
Thanks for posting, brought a tear to my eye. MOT
We are so proud we're shouting out loud, we're singing Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!
Back in the day when football was a contact sport played by men, not a bunch of overpaid fairies.
Yes I totally agree, the old European Cup , so much more entertaining than the vile Bloated champions league, all the teams had great players, when a great coach could make a difference, imagine something like what Brian Clough did with Forest happening in today’s predictable boring game.....
@@spencerglover1 The current league system is all about money and removing the possibility of smaller clubs progressing to the knock- out stages. The massive clubs can afford to lose or draw a few games and still progress. Having the same clubs in last four every year makes it tedious.
Indeed. Played on pitches, not billiard tables.
that is true...
Love to see Leeds back in the prem. I'm a Man Utd fan and i know they hate Utd but loved playing them.
I was fortunate enough to be there . ... What happened in the final was a disgrace !
Fabulous, thank you for that, I was only 9 years old, two great sides 🎉
Joe Jordan (10:34) practising his "heading" technique for that infamous penalty awarded to Scotland against Wales in the World Cup qualifying match in 1977!
That was football, rugby, & boxing all in one…. Great game
excellent observation!
Strange watching keepers taking a pass back in their hands.
Gordon McQueen was a fitting replacement for Jack Charlton, that goalkeeper got so nervous when corners came across. I think that Peter Lorimer may have made a difference if he'd got on. Would have loved to have been there.
Me Old Man worked at International Harvester in 1975. I seem to recall Barcelona trained at their sports facility down in Apperly Bridge (tho, I was 10 at the time - so best not quote me on that) but IH did end up getting a signed match ball from the lovely lot at Barca...which was raffled off and me dad promptly won...and gave to me. 39 years later - it's stuck in a Morrisons shopping bag - in a wardrobe - sorta gathering dust.
ebay!!
thepublic housebrandcom i have a liverpool ball signed by hansen and co in a similar boat, although it is on display...
They did train at thackley football club
There is a them football pitches in Apperley Lane at the bottom of my old school in the grounds were Bradford City sometimes train.
That stayed at what was The Baron of Beef, Highfield Road in Bradford. We waited outside and Neeskens came out and chatted to us for fifteen minutes or so.
he was a defender from Brazil. he was the captain of his National Team. I still remember Barça at those times, they had a lot of skilful players. However, they couldn´t reach that final. good footages thanks for posting this video.
Watch Cruyff try his trademark turn at 7:31 and how Gordon McQueen sticks to him like glue. Cruyff was the greatest of the great, but Gordon McQueen as something special, too.
yes indeed, i was lucky enough to be a regular during the glory years, he took a while to settle in, but in due course became just as effective as Jackie Charlton;.
RIP Johan Cruyff great days beating the might of Barcelona shame we got cheated in the final
Got cheated here too, that was never a free kick for their goal, clean ball winning tackle by Speedy Reaney!
@@CB-xr1eg If they won they didn't get cheated.
@@michaelalexander9386 What a load of crap. Of course you can get cheated and still win. That decision for their free kick was wrong, so they were cheated in that instance.
Anybody else like myself who would rather watch the highlights of games like this, rather than the crap that passes for football nowadays. Real players putting in real tackles, and no one rolling around as if they've been shot by a sniper.
Me,i have a collection of more than 1000 games from the 70s and 80s,can't stand the football of today.
Great team back then Leeds as a villa fan cruyff the best player I ever saw live.
O brasileiro Marinho Chagas jogando no time. Jogava isolado lá atrás sem apoio de ninguém, deixou até passar um gol do adversário. Acho que Cruyff percebeu isso e o chamou para conversar. Marinho falou sobre isso mais tarde.
Highlights how under rated and unsung Paul Reaney was in that great Leeds side.My guess is that he was first on the team sheet before Bremner Clarke Lorimer Giles et al. Should have been an England regular.
leeds a rolls royce of a team here. we had to move on from the bremner and giles era, but after young lad duncan mckenzie left for everton and we let gordon mcqueen and joe jordan go to scum, the rot set in. tony currie was a gem for a few years but he didnt hang around either. giles should have been retained as manager, and then continuity would have been less problematic.
Amazing how much these Leeds players fulfilled a lifetime ambition to play for Man Utd!
Wasn't a patch on Billy that night! Superb memories!
Before Liverpool claimed it as their own after Heysel/Hillsborough - every team ( inc Man United ) used to sing it !
Alan Partdge's commentary is excellent.
I was at this match, stood in the Lowfields Road stand, think it was a monday evening.
Notice the respect given to the referee no matter the decision. Notice no diving or play acting. Notice when somebody got a kick or a knock they just got up and carried on.
Thanks-much appreciated :)
Great game !!!
13:30 The way Bremner confronts the Barcelona Goalie ! :)
43 years ago today, my Dad was there. Leeds the best team never to win the European cup.
I think it was Tony Book, Man City captain, that said Leeds were the best team in Europe during the 70s, for some 5 years!
leeds got robbed and cheated by the ref in the final against bayern munich in paris
Along with Borussia Mönchengladbach, who were five times Germans champions in the 1970s, reaching five European finals as well, which was more than Leeds on both counts.
Peter Day, They were not better than Liverpool, Ajax, Bayern and Monchengladbach.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Perhaps more than Leeds, but perhaps they didn't suffer some of the travesties of justice Leeds did? 73 ECWC final, 75 EC final, 72 league. I'd also say Bundesliga wasn't as tough as English div 1, fewer games & less competitive. If you were to look at how many high profile games Leeds had to play in EC semi's, Fa cup semi's, sometimes playing 2 games in 2 days you might see how Leeds were treated unfairly. Interestingly Moenchengladbach only reached 1 EC final in 5 attempts, 20% success rate...Leeds 50% success rate. Naturally you are entitled to your opinion, as I am & I stand by my original statement.
Can you imagine if Eddie Gray wasn't so injury prone? He would have been a world beater.
That was a great tackle by Reaney that lead to the 1-1 free kick. Terrible refereeing even back then
I totally agree , if Bobby Moore or Beckenbauer [ cheat ] had made that tackle the referee and linesman would have given them a round of applause and asked them for autographs !!
DCs commentary; poetry with a nutmeg🕺
Nutmeg? wtf?
Leeds were great that night. Was stood in the corner of Lowfields Road and Elland road.
At Elland Road " Cattenatcio" is what we saw, the mighty came the mighty fell ,including Charlton, Best and Law. (Nothing To ADD)
the trio of manchester united
Football has certainly come a long way.
I wonder why English clubs filled with British players and managed by an English manager was good enough to beat Barcelona and reach a European Cup final back then, but isn't anymore. The best English clubs now have 2 or 3 British players in their side at best and are always managed by a foreigner.
England doesn't even have a lot of quality players, and every big European club nowadays is mostly foreigners.
Because Barca then were nowhere near as good as Barca now. Nationality has nothing to do with skill.
Do you want 50 000 words. Our good guys were poor people all they had was the ball and the dream. Then came video games/ social media and stranger danger. Not allowed and don't want to go out. Got to learn to love the ball.
its not about the sport anymore. football is used for business and propaganda these days. sad but true
One of the best British/Irish sides ever. Would give any team a really good game. Just a freak coming together.
Reaney was the first non-white player to play for England. History states that it was Viv Anderson, but Reaney was the first. He was of mixed heritage.
Marinho---Mario Peres Ulibarri is his name. Was in the World Cup the previous year captaining Brasil.
More brilliant commentary from the master David Coleman.
I'd forgotten just how bloody good Leeds were back then ....of course it took a ex Blackpool player as manager to bring the best out of them in Europe !!....respect
Very very good manager ❤
Thanks Guillermos! Didn't think he'd have turned out for Barca somehow :)
I had forgotten that Revie had already gone. Great leadership shown by Jimmy Armfield
LEEDS UNITED ETAIT UNE DES MEILLEURS EQUIPES AU MONDE A CETTE EPOQUE ET ILS ONT MANQUE DE CHANCE ET SURTOUT VOLE PAR LES ARBITRES
Great kits
Get your kits out for the lads..
50/50 ball,nearly took keeper's head off.😂😂😂.
At 23.42, the LEEDS fans signing my teams National Anthem YNWA vs BARCELONA is amazing. ..... brings back good memories |
What a great Team we had back then we got Robbed in the final should of been Leeds United European champions in 1975 bent Ref cost us big time . Marching on together 🤍💛💙🇮🇨👊🦚
My home town club against the greatest of all time and all time favourite player Johan Cruyff
1 nil!! classic Coleman
Shame no replays of certain moments or goals. Would be interesting to know when TV replays first happened in football
..Si , ..lo único bueno de " éste juego" . Es que me imaginaba y recordaba a " ..Barcelona " con ; Ramallets, Benítez , Gensana ,, Kubala, Martínez , Evaristo, Luis Suarez , Pereda, Villaverde ., Luis Cubilla., Koczis, Czibor...!!! Y no hablar , cuando el " Barca " , .con show de Maradona!! O Barcelona con ; Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Romario !!! ........ ...? ( ..y ahora, ...!! ?. Ésto !!!? qué es ésto..:??... Por favor...... .......... Leeds, si , un buen equipo....y jugando con ..un , gran corazón.../!
Has anyone ever noticed that no one...but no one in any of these old clips from the 70's could sew on the number 11 straight?. It is wonky every time..lol..
Great football…and the crowd
Ah yes tackling..........I remember that!
THERES ONLY 1 TEAM IN THIS WORLD 2 SUPPORT AND THATS THE MIGHTY LEEDS UNITED WE ALL LOVE LEEDS WE ALL L;OVE LEEDS
I remember going home thinking 2-1 wouldn't be enough.
Rexach actually managed Barca for a bit and was at the helm when Barcelona beat Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield in 2001
Ridiculous decision regarding Reaneys brilliant tackle.
what he said was Leeds was the best team back then but got cheated out of many cups because of the referees.
Wow, Barca's home kits from the 70s look really blue. Not much red at all on that kit, thought it was a Chelsea kit from the thumbnail!
All of Leeds goals in both legs were made by the renowned and feared aerial power of Joe Jordan!
9:27 The days when keepers could handle balls footed back to them.
A l'époque, cela avait été une grosse surprise.
Barca have 2 Dutchmen, 1 Brazilian and 1 Argentinian in this line-up. I thought back in those days teams were only allowed 2 foreigners.
I know the comment is very old here, but it's interesting and if somebody could solve this it would be good: Heredia, born argentinian, was nationalised spanish... so, there you got 3 foreigners, Cruyff and Neeskens, dutch, and Marinho brazilian. Maybe it were 3 foreigners allowed and not 2 Someone knows?
Pre Maradonna if you ask me when Joe Jordan handled that ball. 12:36
Michels, Cruyff, Neeskens made a football machine of Ajax, but could not do that to Barca in 1975-1978. That happened 15 years later.
