- Episode 2 of the this enjoyable series, taped - mercifully - by me, on to an already ageing VHS tape in the mid-90s.
Because of the somewhat draconian nature of copyright claims made by UEFA, I have had to completely obscure the picture from the clip of West Germany defeating England in the 1972 European Championship, in the 36th minute of the video. It was either that, or have the entire video blocked.
What a player Peter Lorimer was.
RIP.
Yeah, great wasn't he? But there were so many good players about then. R. I. P Lash.
Fantastic player was Lorimer. Such a long playing career and so many fabulous goals. He didn't seem to have the carisma of some of the others in that team like Bremner, Charlton and Giles so didn't seem to be as respected, but what an absolute Leeds legend. After Eddie Gray he was my favourite player. In fact my favourite 10 ex Leeds players were all Scottish, Irish or Welsh, strange that for an English club.
Dennis Waterman was a tremendous sports presenter. RIP.
Brian Clough might have been seen as a bully...but oh boy did him and right hand man Peter Taylor work magic!
i have a Match Of The Day dvd that has that Leeds throttling of Southampton and i was amazed by that...total brilliance from Leeds....one of the biggest drummings and being outplayed you'll ever see.....
Did you mean 'drubbings'?
As my own team Everton face a tricky end to a disastrous season, seeing these marvellous highlights of the 70s proves how lucky supporters were.
The sell out to TV, and the overblown Premier league, hasn't provided the excitement we had back then. Or the number of clubs that challenged for honours, and second division sides winning the FA Cup.
Alan Clarke, Martin Chiver's and Kevin Hector would be superstars today. I've recently seen players at Everton who can only score a goal a few feet from the opposition goal line. They could look how Charlie George could strike a ball and learn how to score. Dennis Waterman's dry humour was perfect to narrate the footage. As well as the descriptive 70s music, that's never bettered.
I'm a 50 year old life long Leeds fan and I've watched alot of the old footage of games of this era and its still baffling how Leeds are the only team the other clubs supporters only call my club out for been dirty 😂😂😂well they clearly only watched the Leeds.. Best European club team from 1965 to 1975
That's a bit of a statement! Ajax won the European Cup three years in a row from 1971
Celtic beat them home and away in the EC in 1970.
Miss those wonderful times,..football was great, now it's a money spinning racket ,...full of greedy pampered players....and the muddy pitches and tough tackling, have all been eroded out of the game....miss the old times
100% correct in my opinion 👍
We hadn't got much in the way of luxuries, the world was in tatters, music and sport were the best it's ever been. the freedom we had we took for granted. What a time to be a teenager.
Miss these times bad....
I know mate, I'm 53 I miss those days. The players were real men then. I'm from south wales and used to play rugby, I was only 18 in the 80's and you should have seen some of the older bloke's I had to play against, miner's, steelworkers, farmers and dockers. I start to ache just thinking about those days. There wasn't many weeks when I didn't have a black eye! Football was the same.
@@kevingriffiths9787 look at us now bro. They're trying to destroy the little pleasure we have left with this covid shit. The government and police would not treat the protesters back then as they are now, they're would be blood running down the street. Take care buddy...
@@paulcarroll7787 And you mate.
@@paulcarroll7787 The police didn't mess about in those days, but there was more respect on both sides. I was a pub and nightclub doorman /bouncer for twelve years, I had to hold a guys hands once for the police to get the cuffs on him. My environment made me what I was, my father reckoned I was like I was because I was bullied when I was younger. I'm only 5ft9ins, but I would stand up to anyone if they did me wrong.
@@kevingriffiths9787 agreed there was an unspoken respect, an understanding of hardship. I'm irish and we were poverty stricken up until the nineties, Bullying was rife and it was sink or swim. Society has changed so much, we have become too comfortable. It will be our downfall. All the best kevin..
Paul,
Thanks and well done on providing this further episode in this great series, the highlight this time probably being a look at this classic Leeds side!
I'm so old, I remember all this first time out. Fantastic. Thank you
I respect you sir
radford hitting that goal on that pitch was amazing....one of the biggest FA Cup upsets ever
Been lovely learning about the FA in the 1970s but man - Theme from Shaft is a forever bop. What a great needle drop.
dcbandnerd.............When asked the question - ''What songs changed music?'' - to me, there is only one true answer:
'Theme from Shaft' by Isaac Hayes. It is not only one of the most influential songs ever produced, but completely revolutionised [popular] music. It's spectacular impact on both 'Black' as well as 'Popular' music in general when it was first released in the autumn of 1971 is inestimable.
Based on a repetitive wah-wah guitar line set against 16-note hi-hat drum sequences - interspersed with Hayes voicing film director Gordon Park's immortal lines [''black private dick, who's a sex machine, to all the chicks.... SHAFT! Ya damn right!'' …….''They say this cat Shaft is a bad mutha - SHUT YOUR MOUTH! - I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.....THEN WE CAN DIG IT! '] it literally took the music world by storm.
Nothing had ever sounded like this before! To illustrate just how dramatic the song's effect was - let me relate a quick story. I was still at school in 1971 and Saturday mornings meant that I could lay in bed late and although it was not my 'cup of tea', listen to the BBC's Radio 1. The morning show was presented by well-known British DJ Noel Edmonds - whose taste in music was best described as 'bland'.
As a young 'Soul' fan I often despaired at the fodder the BBC insisted on playing, and especially DJ's of the ilk of Edmonds. Yet that morning I was in for a total shock. Edmonds suddenly went into this meandering yet impassioned eulogy about a song he had just heard.
And with that - he played 'Theme from Shaft'!
I was stunned - but even more so by what happened next. Edmonds played it a second time! [which was strictly against the BBC's 'one-play per show' policy]. In fact, Edmonds kept playing it again and again - and actually ended his show with the song.
This was simply astonishing and had never happened before in the history of Radio 1 - much less with such an utterly 'mainstream' DJ as Noel Edmonds. Yet throughout the rest of the day, several Radio 1 DJ's did exactly the same - from Dave Lee Travis and Tommy Vance right through to Alexis Korner!
I cannot think of a single record that has been given this kind of special treatment by the BBC. Of course, one of the reasons may have been that despite the song being powerfully infectious - it was comparatively short [3mins 15seconds]. To the extent that before you had taken in its uniqueness, it was over. You were instantly left craving to hear more. So it seemed only natural to play it again..
Theme from Shaft' totally revolutionised modern music - leading to a plethora of copy-cat imitations that borrowed heavily from Haye's masterpiece. From the Temptations 'Papa's was a Rolling Stone' to Curtis Mayfield's 'Superfly'. It was also a massive 'crossover' hit in the both the Black and Popular music charts.
It was covered by numerous singers and bands, parodied on shows as diverse as the 'Simpsons' and 'Sesame Street'. It was even claimed to be one of the first 'disco' songs. [Hayes actually released a highly 'discoesque' version in 1978 - 'Shaft II'].
Genius is a much over-used expression. But Isaac Hayes WAS a genius. I was fortunate to experience this live and have many of his albums and singles.
He is greatly missed and his legacy to the world of music could be no more finely demonstrated than with the remarkable 'Theme from Shaft'. RIP Isaac Hayes [1942 - 2008].
I do remember that Hereford United one on MOTD when I was a kid.....Invasion of the green parkas twice....Such nostalgia
Great era and great players, how jesse Lingard has followed in the footsteps of Best, Law and Charlton in playing for Man Utd (or any team at all) is one one of life's great mysteries.
gary peacock --- Lingard would run rings around 99% of the players in this video.Much fitter and more skillful. Emyln Hughes admitted as much in one of these videos.
@@Liofa73 Lingard wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes back then. His so-called modern fitness is predicated on the perfect pitches and less aggressive game we have today.
How did Carlton Palmer get more caps than marsh bowles perryman and Worthington all together one of life's Biggest mystery's
What a great player "Sniffer" was! He was up there with Colin Bell!
Robert Roberts Weren’t Man City gonna name a stand at Maine Road after Colin Bell....The Bell End? 😁😉
@@andrewparker8806 BRILL !! XX
Paulmagicflute I just wanted to express my appreciation for all ur hard work..I'v only just recently subd,to ur channel but all of ur "MOTD"70'S are an opportunity to make some memorable voyages down memory lane..Where the football was less glossy,but had more depth and better quality...
That goal by Ronnie Radford for Hereford is still the greatest goal I've ever seen.
Brazil's 4th goal in World Cup 1970! Just have a look! And then AGAIN!
@@mcmango84 Your so right Jeff. 1970 World Cup was Fab n the passing of the ball was out of this world. The Brazilian s light years Ahead but a Brazil / England final would of been Momentous..Kind regards Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
Now imagine if that was a crucial Prem game in 2020 with fans celebrating woldly and VAR ruled it out 5 minutes later because a forward's shinpad or armpit was offside...
@fifthof Quite right sir but he was Light years behind Gordon Banks also he made a right pigs ear of the 74 F.A cup final..let in 3 goals. I would describe him as OK and 6 out of 10.Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
@fifthof Cheers for your reply sir, There was no legal football betting then ' 1979 Was the first year it started and there was no single or double s ,the minimum was a Treble..I remember the Ipswich player well he was very quick ,going back to the 74 cup final Malcolm Mc Donald didn't get a luck in !! The Liverpool defence was formidable then .May I ask were r u from sir ' possibly the North East..Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
Radford's goal to Rocketman, brilliant!
How gorgeous was that bird of Georges.
Yes, but there was nothing going on upstairs.
@@Trev359 perfect! that meant you talk girlie into anything.
She was very pretty.
@@Trev359 She was no Bamber Gascoine but I don't think he was interested in her brains.
BIRDS PICK UP WORMS.. DINOSAUR
And with that Ian Storey Moore's wife cost him a league winners medal.
Just shows women knew fuck all about football. And still don't
Thanks so much for posting these videos - don't know how I missed this TV series first time around. This really was a superb Leeds side in the first half of the 70's, who deserved to win more titles - Allan Clarke was my favourite 😃⚽
A real man's game. It would put hair on your sideburns.
That’s very funny Lmao
Much better than the over hyped premier league. No over rated expensive foreign players
@Marty Kane Not a Liverpool fan by any chance are you? Sore you lost.
nazi nonsense
70s footy; 80s fashion; 90s kits; NO VAR thank you
Radford's goal is my favourite ever moment in football
Is it me or is this Brilliant
That 7-0 victory by Leeds over Southampton is one of the most arrogant displays I have ever seen - they could have scored 10 if they wanted to.
They were a brilliant team, they didn't win as much as they should have and never get the recognition they deserve. Imagine how entertaining they would have been if Don Revie had taken the shackles off them. I think they lost in eight finals and came second in the league four times.
@@kevingriffiths9787 Runners up 5 times in a 10 year period missing out on the double twice losing to Liverpool in the 65 Cup final and missing out on the League only on goal difference, won the Cup in 72 but missed out on the double by 1pt, played in 10 Cup Finals winning 4 losing 6 all inside a 10 year period with virtually the same playing staff.
Liverpool should have won more than they did in the same period too. Runners up in the league/cup/Europe a few times as well. Could have won the title in '72 themselves.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Revie and Shankly were best mates and always phoned one another on a Saturday night both managers built teams from scratch, this will not happen in the modern game its all about whose got the most money to buy teams .
There's interviews with the Leeds players saying that Revie told them to ease up in that game cos it was getting near humiliation but they kept scoring when they were trying not to!
Rest in peace John
What is remarkable is that up to and including this season there were seven different teams who won the league. Will that ever happen again?
I think by January most of the pitches were just moss and mud. A lot of the play was just making the best of the pinball effect off the divots and bumps. You can really see the difference in the quality when you look at the World Cups in the 70s they were played in the summer.
Enjoying this series !
Didn't go so well for Ian Storey-Moore then being talked out of joining the eventual champions of that season by his missus !
Which just goes to show women knew fuck all about football and still don't
That obscuring of the West Germany game - probably a blessing in disguise . . .
Haha. You're not wrong
RIP Minder Terry McCann ❤
Yes Mrs Storey Moore got it right, didnt go to Derby to win the league went to Utd to get relegated, woman interfering in football, they have no idea, Cloughs wife stayed at home, Shanks wife stayed at home, all players now have wives who tell their husbands what club to play for, what to wear and when to go for a piss
Love this! Keep em coming.
When football was for the working class..pre prawn sandwich era...aha
Sore Arse rekz --- You're a working class snob... Just as bad as they are...
That's some skill you possess there..guessing you be some kind of witch doctor? Would you like to buy a donkey.....??
Corporations are the ruin of all world sport but the real stuffs there, down in Z grade at the local ground the fire is still there.
8:50, imagine pushing a ref like that these days!!!!!!
In the days of total Football.......now it's a pale imitation of the man's game I grew up to....
Couldn't have said it any better!!.It's phony BS.
charltons goal v LFC was amazing ...im a scouser too......
The human giraffe Jack Charlton could be mistaken for a member of the Royal family.
This season had- for me - the greatest ever climax.
A Golden Age
Proper Football!
That Leeds team was brilliant and I am an evertonian,just a class side how they missed out on8/9 more trophies I don't know,I suppose fixture congestion.
In 1970 they lost an FA Cup FInal, a European Cup semi final and finished runners up in the league. I have a football annual for that season with a chapter about them titled 'The Greatest Team Ever To Win Nothing'.
Congestion? Yes, but nothing like nowadays -- this was REAL congestion. Take a look at late March-early April on this: www.11v11.com/teams/leeds-united/tab/matches/season/1970/ If current clubs had that to contend with, we'd never here the end of it. And when we did put out a weakened team vs Derby, we got fined for it.
They weren't brilliant. They were a bunch of dirty bullies. Clough was right when he said they played football the wrong way.
@@oliprj8676 Hmmm. Are you just jealous? They were more than brilliant. Trailblazers years ahead of their time,
Very much so, Runners up in the league 5 times fa cup runners up three times and beaten in three European finals. Were cheated in the 73 cwc final and the European cup final of 75 . That side was sheer class
Ah, the days when scorers smiled and laughed after they netted and looked happy.
No personalised/custom made boots, no manicured Desso pitches, every team with at least one 'stopper' hard man, and it still, produced some of the best football, and most talented players ever, Best, Worthington, Currie, Bowles, Hudson to mention just a few, playing on what now look like ploughed fields every winter, like the pitches at the Baseball ground, Victoria ground, ST Andrews etc
Death trap stadiums, ploughed fields for pitches,shitty kits, dreadful haircuts,proper tackling. Happy days.
I preferred those plain kits of those days, todays kits are like a fashion show.
Yeah and no bloody over priced foreigners
@@trevormorgan5701 Do let us know what team you follow
Southampton
The stadiums and pitches were the big issues. I love the kits and the hair, and I wasn't even alive in the 70s
what song is playing @ 14:25 during "Miner's Strike" piece?
"Draggin' The Line" by Tommy James
14:30, were floodlit matches really banned in 1972? I thought that happened in the 1974 miners' strike. At any rate, it's clear that the Swindon v Arsenal match was played under floodlights, as you can see the players' shadows cast by floodlights clearly in the clip.
The ban was for evening kickoffs, the floodlights at Swindon came on in the afternoon..
How tall was Colin Boulton? He looked minute trying to save the penalty against City.
Thanks for listing some of the music, I've been wondering about some of it since 1995! Do you happen to know the name of the song that accompanies the Tony Currie segment?
I'm afraid not, sorry.
@@paulmagicflute okay not to worry, mate
"I Believe In Love" of Hot Chocolate.
@@YeOldeFootballChannel Thanks!!!
No manager's complaining about 'too many games' in those days
Because they had less games then. Much less internationals and no group stage in CL or EL .
@@mecongberlin they didn't have less domestic games. Less international friendlies yes
In fact, they had more league games then, there were 22 teams in the 1st division rather than 20 now in the Premier League. So in those days they played four more league games and four less European games. Therefore they played the same.
Does anyone know the music at 2.40?
Its amazing the way the pitch used to be compared to what it use to be ... I understand it's all artificial these days but the state of the pitch then and now . Some of today's games would be called off today do to the state of it
What song is playing betwween @ 24.00 and 25 Leeds / Southampton, please ?
Get It On by T-Rex.
My god is it that long ago come on you lions 😎
Even better!

Barry Davies / Eric Idle , can’t tell the difference.
Really?
Where can I get some Mobil petrol, would have killed to have those cards lol
werent allegations against Revie trying to bribe wolves, id say he did because wasnt the first time neither......
Johnny Giles doing a rabona in 1972
8:49. Blatant shoves on the referee by Billy Bonds. No action taken. Football is better these days in that respect.
Yep. And Leeds would get away with worse all the time in those days. That's what Clough hated about Revie's teams. Hence where the name Dirty Leeds came from 😂
Yeh but far more cheating by foreign players in todays game trying to win penalties etc, etc, having watch football since the late 60s to now I've seen many great players and teams but for me the 70s were better heavier ball teams all had he star players not creamed off by just a few clubs with money only certain teams can win the Premier League now them with the richest owners, Busby's Man U, Shankly's Liverpool and Revie's Leeds would give any modern team a game as would the Arsenal, Man City and Spurs, Derby, Everton and Wolves.
@@mick6370 the Latin drama in the PL now.
I wonder what Billy Bremner had against Edward Heath with refusing to shake his hand?
every generation thinks it's the greatest there's ever been, every person as they get older think they had it tough and younger people have it easy. All that tells me is that the struggles are always the same, despite society changes and cultural differences.
Good comment maybe.
Good old Mrs Storey-Moore Derby won the championship and United got relegated in 74! Ooops!!!
Come on you rams
They must have made a fortune whoever sold those dodgy parkas.
Celtic tore this Leeds team apart, on their way to the European cup final 💚🍀
But it was in 1970

London and Lancashire.
Even now, all those years later, it is still impossible not to hate that Leeds Utd side.
How did Bonzo not get sent off for pushing the ref??
Because even the referees were not wimps in those days
city were the best team by a country mile that season, the signing of marsh destroyed their chances

Now we have so many European players over here all that devious cheating is rife in the Premier League.
Hahahahhaahhaaaaaa I will just say Vinnie:)
Why block some games 🤔
ramsey didnt play many of the new squad since he kept his stuffy loyalty to the old guard...one reason why they never qualified till 1982. but the talent ironically in the 70s for England was amazing but could get it together...Revie changed too much then pissed off with his money......
Leed utd having to play a title defining game on a Monday after an fa cup final on a Saturday was an absolute disgrace and a fix by the football league who refused a delay
And they continue to fuck us over to this day!
Back when football was pure, before it got destroyed by capitalism and foreign owners.
Way too many ads
13:30 that goal was more the fault of Lorimer than Sprake.
Remember that the rule about no picking up the ball from a backpass did not exist then. Sprake could have just dropped onto he ball and held it. That being said, Sprake played more than 500 games for Leeds -- you don't do that without being pretty damn good. It just seemed that whenever he did make a hash of something, the cameras -- nowhere near as ubiquitous as they are now -- always seemed to be there (famous o.g. at Liverpool excepted).
Yeah, it was a lousy pass.
Liverpool came up on rails and might have won it but for debatable decision in last match.
They won it enough times over the next twenty years.
16;09 Ronnie Radford scores a screamer , and the British public have to suffer the prattlings of Fatty Motson for the next 40 years
to think Spurs were in decline from here....
