When i saw your dad going up front late on, i knew he was going to score. That's what he did. Didn't remember him scoring two tho' ! Chris 'The Ghost' Lawler. One of my all time favourite players. YNWA. Bob Paisley, 'Chris! you're on' Chris Lawler, 'Pass me my slippers' :)
I’m an Evertonian & love all these old clips of working class British lads playing , watching & managing. Now all those roles, the game & even the country itself is unrecognisable.
Thanks for upload, there's a longer version around and there is a tackle by Ron Yeats on Mick Jones that I can only describe as one of the most full blooded tackles you'd likely see. Jones is pole axed and out for several minutes but gets on with it needless to say! Great support from the Reds fans on the day.
Bad pitches, no foreign players, no cheating or feigning injury, heavy footballs, cheap tickets, no middle class toffs, and no tippy tappy football, HEAVEN!
Yeah-Tommy Lawrence's save from Mick Jones at 0.48 today would have seen a dramatic tumble; holding of leg in agony; a team of surgeons rush onto the pitch, a penalty and a red card for the Keeper ! Football isn't fun anymore. I'd sooner watch these clips than any PL fixture
When English football had an identity....full of British players , playing with passion and heart for the badge and the fans.....now it's liquorice all sorts of money obsessed foreigners tarnishing the very fabrics of what once made our league the best in the world.....miss those golden times
There was something special and classy about that all-white strip; (no sponsor’s logo back then). No aloof millionaires, foreign or domestic, but home-grown players that supporters could identify with.
Great battles between these 2 sides for 10 years 65-75 . I think leeds just had the edge but im sure this was the fixture everyone looked foreward to during that decade .
Leeds lost their last four league games- three away and this; their final home match 1 - 2 to `Pool` They were unbeaten at home until this final one. Had they picked up five points (from eight) in those final four- would have won championship. Four teams in it till last couple of weeks (Both Manchesters , Leeds & Liverpool) Only 71-72 season had tighter finish of more than two teams!
To Mark West: I agree. The improvements, though is: The wonderful *visibility* of the white ball that can be seen from afar and for one to enjoy its trajectory; however, weird in its composition, causing it to *convolute* in its forward direction.
Dear old Geoff Strong, scored many goals for the Arsenal 60 years ago along Joe Baker , Strong transfered to Liverpool to take over the injured Gordon Milne, all three great players passed now
at 2,58 Lash lets go and knocks out Yates ( a centre half if i remember and would usually wear 5 )this was my second Leeds match and i always thought it was Tony Hatleley centre forward wearing 9 that was on the end of Lorimer's shot !
Iwas a Leeds fan but I could feel sympathy for a tough guy likeYeats taking a typical Lash cannonball full in the face. I'm surprised he didn't wake up amnesiac.
Calling Leeds fans. I am a Birmingham City fan and Jimmy Greenhoff was amazing in the short time he was with us. I was intrigued why he dropped down a division. But it wasn't long before he was back making a name in the top division with Stoke and then Man United. So why did he leave Leeds so young and full of promise? Did he have a fall out?
He tended to be a bit of a maverick and resented Revie's control freak attitudes to his private life. One can imagine in a parallel universe Greenhoff and Jones enjoying a fruitful partnership during the early 70's
I wonder if back in 1968 old supporters complained about the state of the game then and how great it was back in the pre-war days. Probably complained about their tight shorts.
they did i remember old boys in the 70s moaning about it an hating the tribal crowds an long hair players etc. its always been better to a generation out of there era.
*diving cheating win any way you can* Remember all the match fixing in those days? Remember how Leeds perfected what's euphemistically called 'gamesmanship'? The deliberate attempts to maim the opposition? Franny Lee diving every second minute?The obsession with money is nothing new; it's _human nature_ "The golden past was _never_ the golden present" [emphasis added].
@@scherben8870 You can keep your modern game, I'm sticking with the tried and tested version, Christ, you can't even tackle now , Its fast becoming a non contact sport, Give me the 60's 70, game all day long.
The violence, racism and homophobia, both on and off the field. I remember the few black players having to face an absolute barrage of 'monkey' chants whenever they touched the ball, and literally taking your life in your hands by attending an away game. Yes, a lot of things were better, but a lot of things were also much worse. If you think there wasn't massive cheating going on then you're a fool.
I love watching these old clips, and there are some things that I really wish had carried on in football (namely cheaper accessible tickets, standing and a lack of diving But christ you old timers can be boring. Every single highlights video from before the 1980's has the same boring shite comments. "Oooh back in my dad REAL men played REAL football! shit heavy waterlogged footballs! Leg-breaker tackles! Local fans! Local players! None of this foreign riff-raff! No diving!" etc etc etc
Sweet F_A, I’m an old timer and I agree with you. I loved football in my youth and I do today. Don’t believe everyone who tells you that players didn’t dive, feign injury, pressure referees etc in these days because they did.
These days, the manager and coaching staff depend on ipads and tablets and complicated graphs and diagrams and heat maps and tons and tons of statistics and God knows what else. In those days, the boss had it all worked out in his head. Talk about master minds.
Then again, Don Revie was known to keep a 'dossier' of all the opposition players. That was probably the equivalent of today's 'graphs and diagrams' etc.
When football wasn't only about money. I can remember an experiment they tried back in the '70s I think when they tried to limit the number of foreign players playing for British teams. Shame it was dropped as it would have encouraged more kids to try and make their dreams come rue.
The Commentator (Ken) makes reference to what both teams need to be in with a shout of the title, and I know that City eventually took the title that season. But what was the situation at the start of play here? Was this the last game of that season, or did these teams (and others) still have fixtures to play on 04th May 1968???
You do know that the older generations were always moaning about the long hair of that time, right?... Muddy pitches are for rugby, not football. The Premier league has higher attendances than back then (although the prices now are disgusting).
Liverpool team. 1. Tommy Lawrence. 2. Chris Lawler. 3. [Roy Evans. / Peter Wall]. 4. Tommy Smith. 5. Ron Yeats. 6. Geoff Strong. 7. Ian Callaghan. 8. Roger Hunt. 9. Tony Hateley. 10 Ian St John. 11. Peter Thompson. 12. Bobby Graham.
Is that Liverpool there in their thousands? According to ManU and their never enfing list of myths - they were the only club who travelled in numbers in 60s? Liverpool did...Everton did...Leeds/Newcastle did. The likes of MCity Stoke Birmingham didn't.
Thank goodness we've come a long way from 1968. So much wrong with that era: Football violence Bad tackles Dodgy official's Poor pitches Heavy football's Poor stadiums Lack of TV coverage Laughable commentry Its similar to comparing an Airbus 380 with an nostalgic Zeppelin Airship.
You play netball then ? Football was great the violence was down to dead end jobs and a few hundred teenagers which could of easily been stamped out but was allowed to go on
No foreign players yeah right, Leeds and Liverpool teams of the seventies were made up of Scottish, Welsh, and Irish players. No diving ! Ha ha ha. They just used to punch each other in the face behind the ref's back !
@@celticwarrior1365 - Not in football (sorry, soccer...) it doesn't, which is why England and Scotland have separate leagues and separate national teams.

When British football was at its best and most competitive. Looked and sounded British.
British football in the 60es and in the 70es was very wonderful
Great days. Some wonderful players on show here. Mick Jones was a great centre forward who never seemed to get the credit he deserved.
Bad pitches, no foreign players, no cheating or feigning injury, heavy footballs, cheap tickets, no middle class toffs, and no tippy tappy football, HEAVEN!

Agree with you about heavy footballs.
I can remember playing and heading a wet heavy football, and having a headache for 2 days afterwards!
going from division 1 too the premier league football has lost some of it's hardcore capabilities .......... but we'll forever be fans !!!

I was at this match, in the scratching shed. Remember Hatley being knocked out.
in this season leeds led the league for much of the season whilst chasing the league cup, fairs cup and fa cup. what a side.

Kelly I was 14
epl was the best and still is. I grew up watching liverpool dominate during the Shankley years and later. Nothing compares to this and today's game
Plenty of hard stuff, but NO wrapping arms round players, which was 'supposed' to be stamped out this season.
Man.City ended up winning the league, but Leeds did win it the following season.
