Keegan gets a right hook, gets up and puts his arm round Giles, then asks the ref NOT to book him... I was at this game in 1974, got chased all over London by Scousers and slid down the long escalators onto the underground, superb day out even though we lost
Football of this era was brilliant. Much prefer watching it to todays stuff. It wasn’t a non contact sport then. No diving, no rolling around, no bs. Great atmosphere in grounds. Decent commentators. Players who cared about the teams they played for. Gone forever but much loved.
The respect Shanks and Cloughy have for each other is excellent. Players kicking lumps out of each other and them two sat next to each other like best pals!
Not for me he didn't. "Not what we want to see" "Killed the game stone dead" BOLLOX, that was exactly what we wanted to see. It was a proper game back then, worth watching unlike the crap they serve up nowadays.
That was a superbly contested game. I started following Liverpool the year before when my auld man took me to Anfield v Ipswich town. When I look at this game i see sportsmen who arent diving or trying to get each other sent off. Quite on the contrary they go out their way to keep the each other on the pitch, even after hard tackles & punches to the face. Oh how I miss football of this era. At the end, the penalties taken the way they were. Even down to the goalies behaviour towards each other. What a fantastic upload I loved it
RIP to my cousin Brian Hall, number 8 for Liverpool. New Zealand didnt have the games on Telly back in the early 70s, so we had to listen to the radio or wait for a highlights reel on the news. Liverpool were fantastic, and the players were all household names ( even in a Rugby mad NZ ) All my mates didnt belief that Brian was my cousin. ‘Sweet As mate’.
@David Hargreaves... deluded, David? Perhaps a look at the league table suggests otherwise. Or a look in the mirror! Best wishes for whichever team you support.
Brian was "Little Bamber" ... Steve was "Big Bamber" ... Lovely chap, Brian, on and off the pitch. Taken far too soon, worked with him a few times in the mid 2010's.
What I like about this is how I used to really enjoy the game. Many players just getting up and getting on with it, unlike many players in today's game behaving like spoilt little brats and using everything they can to get the advantage. It was also good to see a lot of respect at the ref,unlike today where a lot of players will try to bully and intimidate him.Although of course, not every game was perfect, especially this one.
Not really. In 1974 it was more about who sat in the dug-out as Leeds manager than anything to do with the trophy... or shield. In the end the two clubs would share it. Liverpool got to polish it on Mondays, Wednesday's and Fridays and Leeds got to look at it on Tuesday's, Thursday's and Sunday's.
I was born in Leeds in 1967.... As a kid you support your local team... in my 3rd year of middle school (Cowper Street Middle School) we had football matches between Leeds and Liverpool supporters... I tried so hard to play for Leeds but my school friends didn't want me... the Liverpool side said I could play with them.... now I'm 52 years old living in Italy and enjoying all Liverpools victories... (still keeping an eye on United though) 😁
I was living in London at the time, and the rugby season hadn't started: I was sitting at home around 12:30, bored, when I spotted in the paper that the CS was on that afternoon, so I grabbed a sarney and hopped on the tube from New Cross around 1 o'clock. Hitched up with a load of Liverpool lads on the tube, got a ticket outside the ground for a few bob over the odds, and saw a great match. Can't imagine someone being able to do that now.
@ 5:50 Keegan was actually telling the referee NOT to bother booking Giles. That's what I call a proper old style professional. Cloughie and Shanks sitting side by side; what a lovely touch.
Because Keegan initially took major liberties with Bremner's kneecap two tackles back (right in front of Giles) Giles jogged across with the ball looking over his shoulder waiting for Keegan to get close enough for his payback. And Keegan knew what the slap was for. A little tit fer.
Liverpool Fan! As Many have said, PROPER, Footballers. The Culture, may have been Heavy drinking, but Wow! Could they Play Football!! Both Teams.Amazing. S.B.
The old Wembley might not have had the computer designed sight-lines of the modern stadium but it had a magical atmosphere a modern arena just can't replicate.
13:12 Emlyn Hughes punching the air in the relief that he had scored his penalty! I loved Emlyn Hughes! Such a great footballer and Liverpool legend but also a proper character! RIP great man!
I'm 70 years, and the three clubs that I would love to see in the top position; Leeds Utd, Nottingham Forest, and Derby County. They were all there, battling in the 1970s. Great video, thank you.
LMAO! Giles decks Keegan right in front of the ref and gets away with a booking. If that were today, Giles, his kids, and his grandkids would get lifetime bans.
Two great teams at that time Leeds utd and Liverpool lots of respect between the two clubs... Leeds might not be in the top league now but still a mighty big club
What a historic game. Last game for Shankly at Liverpool, first game for Clough at Leeds. Both managers sitting together and Giles not sent off for a punch. Keegan gets straight up and pats him on the back. Great days
Are you sure about Shankly ? Charity Shield (or Community Shield as it is now) is always at the very start of the football season. Unless you are confusing yourself when Liverpool won the Cup the previous season (ie a couple of months before this).
He's right - Shankly led the Liverpool team out for this final Charity Shield game and managed the team before handing over to Bob Paisley for the forthcoming season.
I was at this game. The video doesn’t show the actual incident that caused the ref to send off Keegan and Bremner. We were behind the goal at that end , when Liverpool got the free kick Keegan was in the box waiting for it to be taken and Bremen punched him in the back for absolutely no reason and Keegan retaliated and punched him back. Bill Shankly had already resigned before this game and Bob Paisley had taken over as manager but allowed Shanks to lead the team out as a tribute to him.
Wow that's really interesting. Leeds United had such a poor attitude back then, both on and off the pitch. None of them would make the standards of todays day football - especially when you look at all the dieting and fitness behind the scenes. Back then it was just ordinary people who played football for a living!
Bremner could dish out the dirty stuff but could not take it . I was at Upton Park that season , and Billy Bonds had Bremner by the shirt collor , and the the little Ginger shit did not wan't to know
Nothing makes me happier than seeing the Liverpool players defending giles after he's just thrown a right hook. All anyone wants is to play football it's brilliant
Sad times! Little did we know where the game was going to go in the following 10 years. These guys played for their love of football. The next lot tore the heart out of it. Club Owners, Agents and Performers. The game lost its soul to "What's in it for me?".
Would that be in the ? big pub just at top top of Main Rd. Can't remember name of it ATM. I used to go there with cousin Canal RIP when on holiday. Happy days x
This game was live on RTÉ in Ireland and brings back great memories. Both Heighway and Giles were excellent ROI players. As a Leeds fan I often wonder what would have happened at start of 1974/75 season had Bremner not being out with suspension for 2 months. Great days.
My last year as a season ticket holder in West Stand. Then went abroad for over 20 years in varios countries. What a team they were! Alan Ball, Malcolm Allison and others say they were the best team ever in Britain. But couldn't resist remarking on their combatative element!
Omg what a gem ,As a kid I switched from Leeds to Liverpool around this time ,it was the end of an era and the the start of a new one . I Followed Liverpool from then on and enjoyed all their successes untill graeme souness took over ...,..And it was....over. .lost and desperate A new station was showing Italian football ,C4 . Every Sunday morning 11am , because gazza was gone over ..It was great ,I was gonna get Gazza lazio . or Maradonna Napoli .Happy days.
Tommy Smith the Anfield iron a match when football was football. Many of these players sadly no longer with us. Also 2 of the best managers ever to have graced the beautiful game.
Great video and to see Clough and Bill Shankly chatting together can't believe how close the Referee is to the Penalty spot when they're taking the Penalty
Classic stuff. I remember the double sending off causing a real stink at the time - a sending off was rare then (ask Johnny Giles!) and Keegan was at the peak of his Roy of the Rovers/golden boy hero of English football period so it was seen as a genuine disgrace. Especially the shirt throwing episode. But for any younger viewers, if you think this is bad/good, check out the Franny Lee/Norman Hunter on-field punch up from the same season! Leeds v Man City
Emlyn Hughes, one of the very few scousers who was actually proud to play for England and sing God Save The Queen. And what an amazing effort that was from him from 40 yards out. Plus Barry Davies was furious over the conduct between Keegan & Bremner.
Emlyn's dad was a Welsh rugby player who moved to Barrow to play rugby league. But Emlyn was Liverpool through and through and England through and through, an all-round great guy. I liked his enthusiasm.
Mr Hughes was after a knighthood and the way he was with Princess Ann on question of sport was cringe worthy, I used to hide behind the sofa in embarrassment. 😢
Wembley should of been rebuilt keeping the exterior façade, in my opinion it is one of the most ugliest stadiums in the world with the outside looking like a crap hotel, the old stadium with its roof and twin towers looked the business now it is just another glass office.
For me this is the classic Liverpool 70's team vs the classic Leeds 70's team! When football was real football...meat n potatoes....no holds barred lol
Think it was strange for Harvey to take that spot kick when there was still another 5 outfield players who could of taken it.Was pretty suicidal move.Thanks for posting.
I went to watch Leeds all over the south of England in the 70's. The pitches were terrible. Teams kicked each other to bits. "Tackles" from behind were regular leg breakers. There was obscene, racist, homophobic, etc. chanting and regularly innocent people would be seriously hurt in crowd trouble before during or after the game. Women and children in the standing areas were a rarity due to the violence. Duncan Mckenzie cost £240,000 from Forest at a time when a decent house cost about £10,000. You have a selective memory, it was never "pure football".
True legends best of British football .was 16 spent all my wages watching Liverpool home and away .only had my bus fare to go to work with after Keegan stopped ref sending Giles off.keegan become England manager Newcastle fulumn .Scott's Brenner MC queen Giles Irish . Tommy Smith Norman hunter hard guys.sniffer Clark McKenzie Leeds great strikers . goalies to international.every player legend .one player Alex Lyndsey is forgotten hero for Liverpool used to think tremendous defender.i can't pronounce lot players names these days hahahaha these was my days .I have watched Walsall for 30 years but always remember 5 years spent following Liverpool
Peter Buggery the game will never stamp out racism, so you tell us at least ONE positive aspect NOW about the game that's better than from 45years ago!!!? You will not find one thing that has been for the greater good of the sport. Corruption, player/agent greed, cheating, indifference by players to their club, clubs charging more for games, increased gambling (a fucking disease as well as an addiction - disgraceful it's encouraged as normal with about 14 of 20 clubs sponsored by betting firms!!), the stadiums are generic, the team's don't produce home-grown talent, no solid coaching, clubs don't show players any discipline. Oh and they have to change their strip EVERY year to make money The sport in 2020 is a steaming bucket of wank
@@andrewphippsphillips1455 Prince Andrew. What do you mean, "never"??... The game HAS stamped out racism to a very large degree. I well remember the late 70' and early 80's, when black players increasingly started appearing in British football, and the monkey chanting every time an opposing black player touched the ball; and not just by a few people but thousands!! Absolutely nothing at all was done to stop it. Are you trying to tell me that that situation continues today? What's better, you ask? I could take my elderly mother or grand children today in relative safety. Same couldn't be said for the 70's and 80's, when football grounds and their surrounding areas were an absolute free-for-all. I'll freely admit that I got involved as a teenager and as a young man and it was incredibly exciting: but it was selfish fun that was killing the game.. Remember ugly fences and people getting crushed to death? Crowds were starting to dwindle and there was an air of decay and apathy by the time the Hillsborough disaster happened. Things needed to change.(Sadly not all for the better, I'll admit) Yes, many things were better back then but certainly not everything; a lot of it was shit Nostalgia is a liar that you should be wary of.
Fabulous era … great shirts … football shirts as they SHOULD be … In those days, the same style of shirt lasted a good 10 years ! you knew where you were back then ! … you were back in the good ol' days ! in the late 1800's, some players even wore cloth caps when they played.
Too young to remember this but seeing The Damned United a few years ago you realise there was a lot going on at Elland Road in a great era of football. Great upload 👍
@@swinetrekNo, he wasn’t. Absolutely fantastic player. Brilliant at Hamburg and during his swansong Southampton, too. Keagan was one of the best forwards in the world, without any doubt; and recogised globally as such. From a Celtic fan with no skin in the game.🍀
In dispite. Leeds stay great english foot ball club.we can to said.leeds dont have Much lucky.we wishing leeds come back quickly in first league. Old suporter.from Algérie.
The two best teams in England at the time, miles ahead of the rest. Since the decline of Manchester United, in the previous seven seasons, Leeds had been top dogs, having won a trophy or been top 3 of the league every year - five trophies in total - but were just past their best. Liverpool, were on a path towards their best, and would easily surpass the achievements of their rivals and would go on to be top 2 in the league or win a trophy for the next 17 years, including ten league titles, four European Cups, four League Cups and three FA Cups. Occasionally, others would poke their noses into the mix - Derby, Nottingham Forest, Everton, Arsenal and Aston Villa, but it was only the re-emergence of Manchester United that ended the "L" years...
99% true. The last bit isn't though. Man Utd didn't end the Liverpool years. Both Arsenal and Leeds won the title in between Liverpools 1990 title and Utds 1993 title. Liverpool were already in decline before Utd became top dogs.
@@lyndoncmp5751 quite true - though neither dominated in the same way as Leeds (for a short time) or Liverpool did - they were both "poking their noses in" clubs like my examples during the years roughly 1970-93, namely Derby (2 titles), Notts Forest (one title, two European Cups, two League Cups), Aston Villa (one title and one EC) and Everton (3 titles, one FA Cup and one Cup Winners Cup). I did mention Arsenal (3 each of titles FAC and LC, one CWC and one Fairs Cup, forerunner of UEFA/Europa, but spread over 25 years). Apart from Arsenal, with 11 trophies, none of the other clubs managed more than five trophies in a 25 year period. Compare this to Liverpool's 25 in 20 years 1973-93 and Manchester United going one better with 26 in 1993-2013
@@christopherspark960 Well thats all true. Can't disagree there. Was just saying that Liverpool were nosediving pre Utd emergence and they didn't stop Liverpool winning any titles in the early 1990s, as Liverpool weren't in the running for the title after 1991. Liverpool finished 6th or 8th in 1992 as I recall. Cheers.
just watched man city v arsenal, apart from fielding weakened teams both teams didn't look like they could be bothered,how times and football have changed.I don't agree with some of the tackles but this was a proper contest by hard players who could give and take

Commentators who aren't politically correct. They just called a game as they saw it. But I agree yeah, this is football to me
I agree it was the best time but no diving or rolling around? Stan Bowles could have won an Oscar any time!
Wish they had today's pitches to play upon though.
Perfectly said
No diving? Did you watch the same match as me? Kevin Keegan anyone?
Look at the passion and remember that the Charity Shield was like every other cup match then...it meant everything. Thanks for this.
The respect Shanks and Cloughy have for each other is excellent. Players kicking lumps out of each other and them two sat next to each other like best pals!
Shankley's last game in charge of Liverpool I believe.
Shame the Leeds players had no respect for Clough.
Happy birthday to Barry Davies.
He is 86 years old today. A legend and commemtated on this game brilliantly as always.
Not for me he didn't. "Not what we want to see" "Killed the game stone dead" BOLLOX, that was exactly what we wanted to see. It was a proper game back then, worth watching unlike the crap they serve up nowadays.
your spot on there

I totally disagree with Barry Davies on "This is a side of English football we don't want to see"..... yes we do😂

It was more about being the showpiece opener than an important trophy.

It was so much better in those days, proper men , proper tackles. Great refs , passionate fan,
Brilliant games back in the 60s 70s and 80s it was a man's game, proper physical a joy to watch.
Football should NEVER be a battle, except a battle of wits.
The era of hard men teams...and true passion for the game
Overrated qualities.
Jesus, that took me back to the glory days when footballers were legends. I was 9 when this was played, loved it!
I am 20 and likes to watch 70s 80s match when football wasn't diving on touches
Imagine Neymar taking that punch straight to his face...he would still be rolling around now
He'd be in casualty LMAO😂 I may be biased as a Baggies fan , but I love Johnny Giles; he was a tough son of a bitch but could really play too.
Neymar rolls about in a tantrum when his breakfast egg is a bit runny.
Nice to see penalties being taken without any stutter steps and associated drama. Just a run up and kick, as it should be.
And Goa ies always moving before the kick, just as it should be!

Forget the fighting & the wild tackles, you're watching a match with Ian Callaghan and Johnny Giles on the pitch. Privileged, even 40 years later.
but in this case Giles should have been sent off
What about Keagan?
I remember this match on T.V. And being shocked at the violence. Frankly these two great clubs disgraced themselves that day.
Seem the love, between the two Golies, hugging one another for support, after the Whites GK missed his turn 17:01
Except Callaghan was a gentleman and Giles was a nasty, cheating piece of shit who just happened to be a very good footballer.
The keepers respect for each other is out of this world.

Especially the shirt throwing episode. But for any younger viewers, if you think this is bad/good, check out the Franny Lee/Norman Hunter on-field punch up from the same season! Leeds v Man City
Franny Lee was playing for Derby when the punch up happened
Fair play to Keegan. He got some slap and by today's standards he got up pretty quick
How did Gilesy get away with that smack ? 🤪
Poorly executed so nul points for style
Clear punch to the face in plain sight of the ref. The punishment? A booking. Lol
+Nick Cockayne that's what you got in those days lol great fun.
Nick Cockayne fc
a time when men were men and sheep were nervous.
and keegan tellin the ref its ok
ref knew the prick had just gone in over the top on Bremner, lucky a punch in the head was all he got.
Sad to see about Peter Lorimer, saw him many times. I wonder how many of the two teams have gone to the great stadium in the sky.
Emlyn Hughes, one of the very few scousers who was actually proud to play for England and sing God Save The Queen. And what an amazing effort that was from him from 40 yards out. Plus Barry Davies was furious over the conduct between Keegan & Bremner.
Emlyn hughes is not a scouser!
Emlyn was from Barrow-in-Furness Lancs.
Emlyn's dad was a Welsh rugby player who moved to Barrow to play rugby league. But Emlyn was Liverpool through and through and England through and through, an all-round great guy. I liked his enthusiasm.
Mr Hughes was after a knighthood and the way he was with Princess Ann on question of sport was cringe worthy, I used to hide behind the sofa in embarrassment. 😢
Emlyn Hughes a scouser? Lmao...He was a cumbrian who started with Blackpool
Love keegans comment BEFORE he gets sent off " I've just been fu*king hit twice!!" 🤣🤣
I missed so much the incredibile atmosfere of the old Wembley and old english stadium
The roar of the crowd the chants...priceless
Mostly the Liverpool travelling Kop singing.
Wembley should of been rebuilt keeping the exterior façade, in my opinion it is one of the most ugliest stadiums in the world with the outside looking like a crap hotel, the old stadium with its roof and twin towers looked the business now it is just another glass office.
This was a Charity Shield Game!! Those were the days...
For me this is the classic Liverpool 70's team vs the classic Leeds 70's team! When football was real football...meat n potatoes....no holds barred lol
I'm 12 and I wish football was still like this
Think it was strange for Harvey to take that spot kick when there was still another 5 outfield players who could of taken it.Was pretty suicidal move.Thanks for posting.
Being pedantic, bu there wer four outfield players that could have taken it. Billy Bremner had been sent-off so team down to ten.
Foolish in a game. Not in a shootout
Both goal keepers had agreed to take a shot. Clemence was going to take the next one, but the Liverpool team changed their minds.
No VAR No player price tag, just pure football....which we don’t have anymore
Spot on
If VAR was a thing back then, Giles would've seen red.
What we didn't see was the tackle that left The Reds defender double over, so Tommy Smith tackle at the beginning was in retaliation to that .
I went to watch Leeds all over the south of England in the 70's. The pitches were terrible. Teams kicked each other to bits. "Tackles" from behind were regular leg breakers. There was obscene, racist, homophobic, etc. chanting and regularly innocent people would be seriously hurt in crowd trouble before during or after the game. Women and children in the standing areas were a rarity due to the violence. Duncan Mckenzie cost £240,000 from Forest at a time when a decent house cost about £10,000. You have a selective memory, it was never "pure football".
@@philipwilliams5808 Yeah cos none of that happens today
True legends best of British football .was 16 spent all my wages watching Liverpool home and away .only had my bus fare to go to work with after Keegan stopped ref sending Giles off.keegan become England manager Newcastle fulumn .Scott's Brenner MC queen Giles Irish . Tommy Smith Norman hunter hard guys.sniffer Clark McKenzie Leeds great strikers . goalies to international.every player legend .one player Alex Lyndsey is forgotten hero for Liverpool used to think tremendous defender.i can't pronounce lot players names these days hahahaha these was my days .I have watched Walsall for 30 years but always remember 5 years spent following Liverpool
Punching, kicking, headbutts, play on boys. Glorious times
Why?
Glorious was it?? Thugs & bullies trying to play football
Thanks for this gem ! Trip down memory lane. The saturation of foreign players and obscene amounts of money within British football has ruined it
Yeah, that and the stamping out of racism... What has it come to when it's no longer acceptable to make monkey chants at black players, eh?
Peter Buggery the game will never stamp out racism, so you tell us at least ONE positive aspect NOW about the game that's better than from 45years ago!!!? You will not find one thing that has been for the greater good of the sport. Corruption, player/agent greed, cheating, indifference by players to their club, clubs charging more for games, increased gambling (a fucking disease as well as an addiction - disgraceful it's encouraged as normal with about 14 of 20 clubs sponsored by betting firms!!), the stadiums are generic, the team's don't produce home-grown talent, no solid coaching, clubs don't show players any discipline. Oh and they have to change their strip EVERY year to make money
The sport in 2020 is a steaming bucket of wank
@@peterburry2014 Agree that is not acceptable. But there weren't any black players on this pitch in 1974.
@@andrewphippsphillips1455 Prince Andrew. What do you mean, "never"??... The game HAS stamped out racism to a very large degree. I well remember the late 70' and early 80's, when black players increasingly started appearing in British football, and the monkey chanting every time an opposing black player touched the ball; and not just by a few people but thousands!! Absolutely nothing at all was done to stop it. Are you trying to tell me that that situation continues today?
What's better, you ask? I could take my elderly mother or grand children today in relative safety. Same couldn't be said for the 70's and 80's, when football grounds and their surrounding areas were an absolute free-for-all. I'll freely admit that I got involved as a teenager and as a young man and it was incredibly exciting: but it was selfish fun that was killing the game.. Remember ugly fences and people getting crushed to death? Crowds were starting to dwindle and there was an air of decay and apathy by the time the Hillsborough disaster happened. Things needed to change.(Sadly not all for the better, I'll admit) Yes, many things were better back then but certainly not everything; a lot of it was shit Nostalgia is a liar that you should be wary of.
@@peterburry2014 Clear off with your woke shite !
Fabulous era … great shirts … football shirts as they SHOULD be … In those days, the same style of shirt lasted a good 10 years ! you knew where you were back then ! … you were back in the good ol' days ! in the late 1800's, some players even wore cloth caps when they played.
to see those three greats together: Shanks, Clough and Paisley...ah good memories
What astonishingly high quality this picture has.
Probably because it was originally shot in film rather than video tape. I'm not an expert, but that's my guess.
Too young to remember this but seeing The Damned United a few years ago you realise there was a lot going on at Elland Road in a great era of football. Great upload 👍
Didn't know Eric Idle had a broadcasting career as well.
Dave Trotter It’s Barry Davies.
Genius comment. Very underrated.
LOL HAHAHA
It's incredibile, the same voice as Eric Idle's!
Dave Trotter funny that mate, I got it but not sure 🤔 if peter kehoe did. 😂👌🏼
I Love playing Liverpool, Always exciting, Can't wait for next Season to Start. MOT
Kevin Keegan, great player he was
Not great punch resistance, though.
Rubbish. Well over rated.
@@swinetrekNo, he wasn’t. Absolutely fantastic player. Brilliant at Hamburg and during his swansong Southampton, too. Keagan was one of the best forwards in the world, without any doubt; and recogised globally as such. From a Celtic fan with no skin in the game.🍀
@@swinetrekidiot 🙄
Its surprising to see the two managers sitting together, they had a lot of respect for one another I believe.
Epic stuff, still got the heart fluttering in the shootout.
In dispite. Leeds stay great english foot ball club.we can to said.leeds dont have Much lucky.we wishing leeds come back quickly in first league. Old suporter.from Algérie.
Both these teams are far better than the garbage we have today. Neymar would be still crying after that first tackle.
WOW!
Proper passion.
Love this.
The two best teams in England at the time, miles ahead of the rest.
Since the decline of Manchester United, in the previous seven seasons, Leeds had been top dogs, having won a trophy or been top 3 of the league every year - five trophies in total - but were just past their best. Liverpool, were on a path towards their best, and would easily surpass the achievements of their rivals and would go on to be top 2 in the league or win a trophy for the next 17 years, including ten league titles, four European Cups, four League Cups and three FA Cups.
Occasionally, others would poke their noses into the mix - Derby, Nottingham Forest, Everton, Arsenal and Aston Villa, but it was only the re-emergence of Manchester United that ended the "L" years...
99% true. The last bit isn't though. Man Utd didn't end the Liverpool years. Both Arsenal and Leeds won the title in between Liverpools 1990 title and Utds 1993 title. Liverpool were already in decline before Utd became top dogs.
@@lyndoncmp5751 quite true - though neither dominated in the same way as Leeds (for a short time) or Liverpool did - they were both "poking their noses in" clubs like my examples during the years roughly 1970-93, namely Derby (2 titles), Notts Forest (one title, two European Cups, two League Cups), Aston Villa (one title and one EC) and Everton (3 titles, one FA Cup and one Cup Winners Cup). I did mention Arsenal (3 each of titles FAC and LC, one CWC and one Fairs Cup, forerunner of UEFA/Europa, but spread over 25 years). Apart from Arsenal, with 11 trophies, none of the other clubs managed more than five trophies in a 25 year period. Compare this to Liverpool's 25 in 20 years 1973-93 and Manchester United going one better with 26 in 1993-2013
@@christopherspark960
Well thats all true. Can't disagree there. Was just saying that Liverpool were nosediving pre Utd emergence and they didn't stop Liverpool winning any titles in the early 1990s, as Liverpool weren't in the running for the title after 1991. Liverpool finished 6th or 8th in 1992 as I recall.
Cheers.
@@lyndoncmp5751 agreed. Liverpool were a spent force after 1990
Well you’ve just made this Coventry boy feel inadequate. 😂😂
Hard to believe this was only 7 years ago, how times change so fast...
Clough's first match as Leeds manager...Shankly's last game as Liverpool manager. Steve Heighway was my hero until Liverpool signed Kenny.
And that is how to take penalties. Absolute masterclass by outfield players.
British football in the 1970s was epic, maybe less speed and skill than today, but real passion on and off the field.
just watched man city v arsenal, apart from fielding weakened teams both teams didn't look like they could be bothered,how times and football have changed.I don't agree with some of the tackles but this was a proper contest
by hard players who could give and take

Left hooks, right crosses and studs down the back the calf, oh how I miss the good old days of football
What a football! What a players! Especially Keagan and Bremner!
gr8footy,
Thanks for this match coverage-remember seeing the second half live. Very controversial moments!
From an era when footballers still had a mystique. Now it's all about their wives, their tattoos and the products they're endorsing.
Do you pine for the golden age of the world wars as well? You should be glad professional athletes don't fight like petulant animals anymore.
And rejoice the fact that they prance about like prima donnas now?
I much prefer these days when players do 6 Swiss Rolls after a tackle...
Today's footballers look idiotic and silly with their pink, yellow, white, green and red boots, tattoos, strange hair styles.
Kicked in
Some legends in both teams
back to great times for me, this was the life and times.
Really entertaining. Thanks.
Thanks for the upload, this was great . Those were the says, when you got booked for punching someone, and everyone had the same bad hair day. YNWA! ⚽️🏆❤😆
I love see that kind football era i was born 1991
Amazing to see those footballing legends again. I was 9 years old at the time.
Boxing ,and a bit of football,great punch in fairness from Giles.
The 70s were so great!
@Forest Surfer yes but the offside decisions wer absolutely terrible ther wer 1000s of incidents wen a player was onside and it was ruled for offside
The Damned United.
Hi Michael. I found this footage quality to be surprisingly good for the 70s. Looks pretty HD.
@Forest Surfer 👏
today that would have ended as a five a side match. remember this game well
