Absolutely fantastic!!! That is the best Leeds United documentary ever! That was so brilliantly done. What a trip that was, absolutely gone right back to those days which I had the pleasure to witness as a young lad of 21-24 years of age. To all the players and Seargant Wilko and even Bill Fotherby, I thank you. I hope you could read this. Chris Whyte, I love you, what a great man, you did it for us mate! Vinne Jones, absolutely love you, you are 100% Leeds man, always will be, you got us there, no regrets! Gordon Strachan, what great words, how humble you are, what great joy you gave us, that Leicester goal, we feel the same about it too. Gary Mac, simply class, Scotland rules, you and Strach, Batts and Speed, formidable quality, the perfect midfield combo. Mel Sterland, love seeing the joy you have telling this story! What a signing you were and player you were. And Dylan too, what great times you had. Howard Wilkison, great, great management, your words about facing a city square thronging with fans recieving their adulation, what a moment for us all. You gave us something great. Brilliant!!
Spot on mate, I wish I had been a bit older myself so I could have enjoyed it more and had a clearer memory of it. I was 12 years old at the time we won the league and remember my first game at ER for my 10th birthday in 1990 , the year of promotion…… brilliant days 🤍💛💙

Indeed; but stracks was outstanding, i always remember him scoring an sitting on advertising boards ha! He was the engine, the gears and the brakes, known modern day as box to box. Edited; and while i did rate speed he was class, but Rod Wallace v spurs writes his name in history;) Or Yeboha v Liverpool ha
I saw Strachan play at Highfield Road,Coventry in Feb '96 v Man City in FA Cup. He came on 30 minutes left aged 39 and ran the show. Absolutely Class Player and character.

It was a really great time. Cold War was over, Berlin wall was down, Mandela was free. The world was on the cusp of something new. A fantastic time to be young. Leeds Utd were EVERYONES 2nd team (Well, nearly everyone.) Leeds success seemed to represent something more than just football. A great piece of nostalgia for a football fan of a certain age. Brilliant documentary.
Happy Days! Thanks for the video! How we could do with some of these midfield characters today in 2022. Before talking about a statue for Bielsa think about one for Wilko!
I'm a Liverpool fan but I love watching documentaries like these. Leeds are a great club. I was 13 at the time of the 1991-92 season and was there when Leeds came to Anfield in the run-in. Leeds expertly shut-up shop. I can't remember there being a single chance at either end really. But that's all Wilkinson wanted and needed as it was probably Leeds most difficult game left, while Man United still had to come to us and we were always going to be bang up for stopping them winning the title. The atmosphere was ferocious and we ended up beating them 2-0. From memory I think that that more or less secured the title for Leeds.
@@just-jack-jj4647 I’d rather still have him obviously, he’s a great player and never stops fighting, but we also needed something different upfront which I think Nunez now offers us. We drew at home to Spurs near the end of last season which ultimately cost us the league, Conte just sat back and marked our full backs out of the game and we couldn’t find a way through. Nunez is such a big powerful guy and great finisher that he may prove to make the difference in games like that this year. All our other forwards are pretty wasteful with their chances, Nunez is an upgrade in that regard. Without selling Mane I don’t think our owners would have bought Nunez, so losing Mane is bittersweet really. Anyway, good luck for the season. Hope Leeds can solidify their Premier League status. It's where they belong.
Great documentary of a special time .... as an Aberdeen fan I can absolutely relate to the wonders of Gordon Strachan who cotributed to a team and an era at Pittodrie that will never be repeated ( ... and Aberdeen are still the last team to beat Real Madrid in a European final ... we even won the Super Cup ... so have 1 more European trophy than either Celtic and Rangers) ... Leeds had a fantastic blend and a great manager at that time... always a good combo ... I have a soft spot for Leeds as I also remember the Revie era (robbed of a league title v WBA and could've / should've won the European Cup) ... also a soft spot for Sir Alex given his amazing achievements at Aberdeen ... but my English team has always been (since the days of Frannie Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee etc) the blue half of Manchester ... which. until 2012. meant you said "typical City" a lot ... similar challenges to Leeds in trying to get back to the big league ... Aberdeen need somebody like Howard Wilkinson at the moment (here's hoping Jim Goodwin can do the biz) ... very happy that Leeds stayed in the Premier League ... proper club (and I think you have a good manager for 2022 / 2023 season) .... thank goodness for "fitba" .... thanks again for video ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland
Likewise, I've,been a fan of Aberdeen since they won their first league title , I was just a wee lad then...Willie Miller was, my favorite as a kid.....Liverpool as well.....Aberdeen came close a few times after fergie left to winning the title,.. I just wish they hadnt sacked Alex Smith, he was a good man and manager, who built a good side......I remember praying Leeds would win the title,...despite being a huge fan of auld whisky nose fergie. There was something very special about that ,Leeds side ...before the premiership and all its ,billions was born.
I remember as a young kid around 86/87 … watching United at old Trafford … watching strachan and thinking - in 5 years I will be better than him .. he was probably the worst player I have ever seen … and a few years later I watched him at Leeds … I’ve seen him snippets last 40 + years here n there and still I can’t believe he was a pro at the highest level . I honestly wonder how many slipped through the net in every town in Britain !!
I visited Pittodrie once for an U-23's International - went because a young Paul Gascoigne was playing. I remember it vividly because I think it was the coldest I've ever felt. The wind was fair whistling in off the North Sea.
Hi Calum. When I had just turned 9 years old, back in 1963, I got my first football annual as a Christmas present. In one of the articles I came across the phrase 'fitba daft'. It was years before I realised that 'fitba' was 'football' spoken in a Scottish accent! Needless to say, I wasn't growing up in Bonny Scotland!
Remember Mel sterling scoring a 30yd screamer at Barnsley, I was standing in the away end and the whole stand went up haha it was full of Leeds...Never saw no bother either, they just stood there ,we took over there ground...Love been a Leeds United fan 👌...What a guy Mel Sterling 🇬🇧
I'm 63 now started following Leeds 1975 I'm from Glasgow but love Leeds had privilege of being in elland rd few yrs bk what day I had then came across this documentary ab fantastic memories let's hp Leeds this season hv better one than last but in Jesse I believe we hv signed fantastic manager
Fantastic to watch from afar in NZ. Born in Yorkshire and forever Leeds fan, an amazing group of players and staff. Truely great memories and many thanks. Best I’ve seen on Leeds, and we survive another year in the top league. Gold.
I'm a life long Newcastle United fan who has always been aware of the size of Leeds United & how important they are in the World of Football. Good Club & Loyal Support.
And they worshipped Bielsa......let's remember how amazing a. Team Howard Wilkinson created and the exciting football they played.......Glory days........😁
We were in the low fields and had a radio on and Stuart Hall was in a commentary box somewhere and remember him saying I've gotta go the fans are trying to get in 😂
Wilko and his 10 year plan were massive for Leeds, the very reason they were producing so many good youngsters years later. Vinnie only received 3 yellow cards that season as well
Away to Oxford United. 0-2 at half-time. Into a half empty away end (most were downstairs for refreshments) walks Leslie Silver and a young man, both in Leeds tracksuits. They speak with a few blokes down the front before making their way over to me and my mate Eddie. We're asked what we think of the first half performance. Eddie was about to start on a rant about how shit we were which I'd already heard once. So I told no you're wrong. I then explained my view. Which was that Oxford are nothing special. Man for man all our players are better. The problem was that Leeds were playing like a bunch of strangers. They had forgotten how to pass to each other. I just said all we need is clear heads and hard work and we could still win. I was thanked for my comments and they went back out onto the pitch and off to the changing rooms. Eddie, bless him laughed at me. 45 minutes later 2-4 and Chapman missed a penalty. I'd like to think I might have helped a little.
Absolutely fantastic, what a joy to watch this and recall early 90's supporting the best team in the world. What a great bunch of professional players and real gentlemen as well. No prima donnas, just a great blend of hard working team players. The way Leeds have always been. Chuffed to bits, you can never take that away
Great watch Howard Wilkinson is a Sheffield Wednesday and so am I Great times to be aSHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY FAN! 3 Major cup finals Europe top tier football from 1984-2000 big Ron Atkinson John Sheridan. Waddle Hirst did it for me at Hillsborough stadium Great times at Leeds United to brilliant times to be a football fan unlike now MONEY AS KILLED ZICO SWFC. FAN just like Wilkinson lots of swfc Ex players in this leeds team💙👍👊 great doc
With how well Leeds did in the 1991/92 season made it so surprising what happened in the 1992/93 season. Finishing near the bottom of the table and not winning an away game for months on end.
Wow, what a fantastic documentary, I loved every minute of it. I was intending on watching it it it just auto played when I was out of the room. I'm a massive Liverpool fan and Leeds are huge rivals to us so I wouldn't have watched it under any other circumstances. I just found it really inspirational, what a great bunch of lads. I can remember watching them that season and not really knowing the back story, I'm so glad they beat the Mancs to the title. I saw Leeds at Liverpool in 1991, great atmosphere standing on the Kop, my feet hardly touched the floor it was that packed.
I always remember Leeds coming to Goodsion and beating us 3-2 on what I think may have been either the opening day of the season, or at least Everton's first home game......I was about 10 years old, and I just happened to wear our Yellow away top ...which was the same colour as what Leeds were wearing, so I kept my kept my jacket closed. Main memory was Big Nev having his protest at half time.
Very interesting, enjoyed. Wilkinson is the last English man to win the league, 30 years ago! They did however get found out in Europe losing to Rangers home and away.
Absolutely brilliant incite of the time. Sounds like Howard had a bit of the Revie attitude and viewpoint. Leeds fans have always loved a battling, hard tackling, unified, leave it all on the pitch win or lose team.. above everything a player must be 'loyal' and know they're playing for the fans, club and the city before themselves.. 'Side Before Self' .. Marching On Together ✊👏
Love watching this again and again. Having recently moved to the states during the timeframe of this season I can remember the run in distinctly. Listened to that Liverpool game at Anfield on a short wave radio on the beach in Carmel early in the morning so I didn’t wake the wife up in the hotel room. It truly went from thinking we had blown it after the City result to what seemed like a miracle all within the space of about a week. It was a great season and had some great celebrations with my dad on the phone following amazing performances such as Villa & Wednesday. As a side note Strachen lived for many years in Bardsey, the village I grew up in & my dad used to do work for him.
As a life supporter of a small town club, you have moments that give you lasting memories. Some clubs have seasons that create memories for everyone. What a season that was!
Wonderful to see Bill Fotherby Howard Wilkinson Gordon Strachan Vinnie Jones all trying to give others the credit ! You don't see that these days unless it's crafted p.r virtual signalling. Fotherby bringing all those talented people together IS SPECIAL ! WELL DONE ALL ! This was the most authentic I've seen Vinnie Jones and Strachan is just class !
Followed them round the country from London including Cantona’s debut away at Oldham. Great to see the players thought that 4-1 away win against Villa was pivotal: loved seeing that game from the middle of the Leeds fans away. Leeds away fans great to be on the road with. Thanks for the video
as a man u fan i can state what an absolutely fabulous documentary this was ,i can recall the 91/92 season and yes we were well into planning our first division championship win for 25 years or so absolutely 1000 per cent congrats to leeds on that season . Also if i’m not mistaken think it was the last season before sky contract took over the game and brought us to the shadow of the real game we have now .
I`m a 53 year old Man U fan and I despise Leeds and I was going to stop watching but glad I didn't. Great documentary and thank you Howard and Leeds for Le King , the maestro ERIC CANTONA. Thank you made Man United great.
Some people might know me from the web being negative about Leeds United from the 1970s ... I can say without any doubt that Leeds United winning The 1991-2 League Championship fully deserved it ... this is a Very Good Documentry.
I remember watching Leeds away at Barnsley in the Barnsley end standing and Mel sterling scored a 30 yard screamer and the whole Barnsley end went up lol it was rammed with Leeds fans..We took the roof off that day..I didn’t see one bit of bother either...Love been a Leeds United fan 👌
Leeds United have had 3 really great sides, in their History. Don Revie Side from 1967 to 1974. Then Howard Wilkinson side 90 to 92 and then David O'Leary's Side from 1998 to 2001 - what great sides they were. At their best, I still can't decide who was the best of the three? Don Revie's team won more trophies (And had truly great players within it), but if you were to put out a fully fit and prime side. Who would you choose? Don Revie's side, Howard Wilkinson side and David O'Leary's side? I would go for David O' Leary side. A special mention for Marcelo Biesla. He will always be loved by me and most Leeds United fans worldwide. For 3 seasons he played a style of football that got the World football media to look at the club again. So much so that the "Dirty Leeds tag got taken away from us. He is and always be loved by us Leeds United fans - worldwide...
@Ollie DYG Thanks, Ollie. I think that this same company or organization should do a documentary on David O' LEARY SFROM 1998 TO 2001 - WHAT A SIDE WE HAD THEN.. WOW
no contest the revie side made this club and ruled for a decade , the other two were blips one had a couple of seasons at the top , and the other never won owt and was destroyed by ridsdale
The Oleary side better than Revie's? They played 10 seasons in Europe, reached 4 FA cup finals, 5 European finals, were champions twice and runners up 5 times. Their manager was manager of the year 3 times; they had 4 footballers of the year; between 65 and 75 they won more football matches, scored more goals and accumulated more points than any other English club side. The Oleary team won ..... nothing.
Went along to ER the day Cantona signed to organise a game against the reserves for the college team I started (we lost 7-0) but as I walked into the main reception Gordon thought I was a fan and told me to "Fuck off out". Proud day indeed.
Great to watch, brings back mems of them barmy days..so so good. Question tho, Why doesnt HW get something named after him at the ground?? club should do somert
Im a white guy !, I used to go to the blues in harehills all the time , my best mate at the time was Sherman , my favourite players was Chris Fairclough and Chris Whyte , remember beating Mr.Fairclough at football on the machine in the Peacock back in 1990 , Peacock used to be a proper pub , now its just a Leeds united look at me place !!!
leeds utd are my club i hope a don revie or howard wilkinson are not too far away leeds should be up there with the biggest clubs in england a great documentary on a great club bielsa did well at that level
It was a great run up to the league win in 92 beating United to the title. But they could only delay the inevitable for a year, and MUFC got their league title finally the following season.

Clear aims and great care taken - building cohesion and working for one another - inspiring film and story
Fantastic documentary. As a Celtic fan I remember our games with Leeds in the 70,s. Never imagined they could hit those heights again. Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant incite of the time. Sounds like Howard had a bit of the Revie attitude and viewpoint. Leeds fans have always loved a battling, hard tackling, unified, leave it all on the pitch win or lose team.. above everything a player must be 'loyal' and know they're playing for the fans, club and the city before themselves.. 'Side Before Self' ..
Marching On Together ✊👏
What a brilliant time for that Leeds team, club and fans.
Love watching this again and again. Having recently moved to the states during the timeframe of this season I can remember the run in distinctly. Listened to that Liverpool game at Anfield on a short wave radio on the beach in Carmel early in the morning so I didn’t wake the wife up in the hotel room. It truly went from thinking we had blown it after the City result to what seemed like a miracle all within the space of about a week. It was a great season and had some great celebrations with my dad on the phone following amazing performances such as Villa & Wednesday.
As a side note Strachen lived for many years in Bardsey, the village I grew up in & my dad used to do work for him.
Great memories, great documentary!
I'm a Blackburn fan and your journey to the title was similar to ours and you pipped man u like us aswell spot on 👍👍👍
You talking about the SAS era when you bought the title?
Tell me a title winning side that hasn't

Nicely done Mosco! Great memories...
Fantastic documentary!!! Gotta love Leeds even if you don’t support them!! Brilliant!!!!
WOW!! What memories!!! Gratitude!!!
As a life supporter of a small town club, you have moments that give you lasting memories. Some clubs have seasons that create memories for everyone. What a season that was!
Wonderful to see Bill Fotherby Howard Wilkinson Gordon Strachan Vinnie Jones all trying to give others the credit ! You don't see that these days unless it's crafted p.r virtual signalling. Fotherby bringing all those talented people together IS SPECIAL ! WELL DONE ALL ! This was the most authentic I've seen Vinnie Jones and Strachan is just class !
Absolutely brilliant! Quality club, quality people. Lived it, loved it, great watch.
This brought my youth back to me. Brilliant.
Followed them round the country from London including Cantona’s debut away at Oldham. Great to see the players thought that 4-1 away win against Villa was pivotal: loved seeing that game from the middle of the Leeds fans away. Leeds away fans great to be on the road with. Thanks for the video
as a man u fan i can state what an absolutely fabulous documentary this was ,i can recall the 91/92 season and yes we were well into planning our first division championship win for 25 years or so absolutely 1000 per cent congrats to leeds on that season .
Also if i’m not mistaken think it was the last season before sky contract took over the game and brought us to the shadow of the real game we have now .
I`m a 53 year old Man U fan and I despise Leeds and I was going to stop watching but glad I didn't.
Great documentary and thank you Howard and Leeds for Le King , the maestro ERIC CANTONA.
Thank you made Man United great.
Thanks for uploading this , I'm a Rangers man but Leeds my English team 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Rangers v Leeds in 1992 double leg amazing
The Battle of Britain
This is a great watch, really enjoyed it
Bill Fotherby Absolutely BRILLIANT. HILARIOUS stories. Great Documentary.
I have the celebration tankard for the winning season, watching this brought all those games back - brilliant documentary
Brilliant. Thank you.
Great times 🇬🇧
Notorious Leeds United football club 🇬🇧
football was wonderful at that era
Sunderland fan here- great production !
This is just SUPERB.
MOT
Some people might know me from the web being negative about Leeds United from the 1970s ... I can say without any doubt that Leeds United winning The 1991-2 League Championship fully deserved it ... this is a Very Good Documentry.
What a documentary this needs sharing thank you
Great side, great memories. Always thought it was strange letting Vinnie Jones go and Eric Cantona as might have won more with that team.
gordon was a great player .for leeds..lee chapman was blood sweat and tears ...a fantastic striker..
Brilliant.
Excellent documentary about one era of the history of a huge club. Based in a fantastic city with unbelievable fans
Fulham fan but got tears in my eyes top doc.
What a midfield Leeds had in 1991/92.
You are so right... What a midfield
Can still hear the commentators to this day..
🎙"CHAPMAAAaAN!" 💙💛
The best midfield since the Revie years
Strachan
Batty
McAlister
Speed
Always a nice surprise to see me aged 12 with my dad, great memories, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!!!?
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic video
Last Englishman to win the league mot
I remember watching Leeds away at Barnsley in the Barnsley end standing and Mel sterling scored a 30 yard screamer and the whole Barnsley end went up lol it was rammed with Leeds fans..We took the roof off that day..I didn’t see one bit of bother either...Love been a Leeds United fan 👌
In the early nineties the football hooligans were all taking ecstacy....🤪
R.I.P Gary Speed. Tragic.
Leeds United have had 3 really great sides, in their History. Don Revie Side from 1967 to 1974.
Then Howard Wilkinson side 90 to 92 and then David O'Leary's Side from 1998 to 2001 - what great sides they were.
At their best, I still can't decide who was the best of the three?
Don Revie's team won more trophies (And had truly great players within it), but if you were to put out a fully fit and prime side. Who would you choose? Don Revie's side, Howard Wilkinson side and David O'Leary's side? I would go for David O' Leary side.
A special mention for Marcelo Biesla. He will always be loved by me and most Leeds United fans worldwide. For 3 seasons he played a style of football that got the World football media to look at the club again. So much so that the "Dirty Leeds tag got taken away from us. He is and always be loved by us Leeds United fans - worldwide...
@Ollie DYG Thanks, Ollie. I think that this same company or organization should do a documentary on David O' LEARY SFROM 1998 TO 2001 - WHAT A SIDE WE HAD THEN.. WOW
no contest the revie side made this club and ruled for a decade , the other two were blips one had a couple of seasons at the top , and the other never won owt and was destroyed by ridsdale
Revies.
And I was born in the early 80's.. 💙💛
LEEDS 1967/ 1974. WERE THE BRST LEEDS TEAM BY A COUNTRY MILE... WHAT A MIDFIELD. GREY .GILES BREMNER.LORIMER......
The Oleary side better than Revie's? They played 10 seasons in Europe, reached 4 FA cup finals, 5 European finals, were champions twice and runners up 5 times. Their manager was manager of the year 3 times; they had 4 footballers of the year; between 65 and 75 they won more football matches, scored more goals and accumulated more points than any other English club side. The Oleary team won ..... nothing.
Gary Speed, we miss you
Everton fan here, what a great story..
Far from A Leeds fan but great documentary…remember the time we’ll…great team.
Went along to ER the day Cantona signed to organise a game against the reserves for the college team I started (we lost 7-0) but as I walked into the main reception Gordon thought I was a fan and told me to "Fuck off out". Proud day indeed.
Howard Wilkinson - still the last English manager to win the Top League championship - 30 years on !!
Great to watch, brings back mems of them barmy days..so so good. Question tho, Why doesnt HW get something named after him at the ground?? club should do somert
Legend's great watch
Arsenal fan but really enjoyed that......good old days
As a Man u fan.. thats the very best football documentary...
Im a white guy !, I used to go to the blues in harehills all the time , my best mate at the time was Sherman , my favourite players was Chris Fairclough and Chris Whyte , remember beating Mr.Fairclough at football on the machine in the Peacock back in 1990 , Peacock used to be a proper pub , now its just a Leeds united look at me place !!!
Brilliant
3:49. The man had the sense of irony to quote an historically awful piece of dramatic flair from Neville Chamberlain. Brilliant.
Quality. My god how football has changed. I miss those days.
Being leeds all my life I am 58 now
I remember the good bad times
leeds utd are my club i hope a don revie or howard wilkinson are not too far away leeds should be up there with the biggest clubs in england a great documentary on a great club bielsa did well at that level
It was a great run up to the league win in 92 beating United to the title. But they could only delay the inevitable for a year, and MUFC got their league title finally the following season.
I like Leeds. Good luck next season. Albion.
amazing to think Howard Wilkinson is the last English manager to win the English Premier League.
