Between 1969 and 1974, Leeds United was the best team in British football.
I’d say 1968-1974
We still are, technically we are not, but we still are. MOT
Celtic beat ye yeaaaaaa 🍀🍀🍀🍀
This film popped up on my UA-cam recommended, so I took a look as I can just about remember the scoreline, only being 11 years old at the time. The 70's was my favourite decade for football...there was something special, back then. To be fair, Leeds had a superb side full of household names, and my club, Wolves, were a fine side, too. Like other posters, I didn't see Leeds as particularly 'dirty' - they were just a tough, uncompromising team that could play good football or mix it with the opposition when they had to. All teams had tough guys back then, so you had to take it and dish it out in equal measure.
Great to see Elland Road as it used to be, with the Lowfield Road stand still in place with the terracing in front. Anyway, I'm looking forward to renewing old rivalries with Leeds, so all the best to LUFC in getting promoted to the Premier League this season. *UTW* 🐺🐺🐺
Privileged to say I was there - best Leeds performance I've ever seen - every player a legend
my child hood growing up in leeds with that team in the 70s ....pure heaven.
This magnificent Leeds United side of the early 70s still the best British team I’ve ever seen.
And it's starting all over again now with Bielsa. Just look at the new faces in the team since they won the Championship
paradisefound100 btw I’m a Man U supporter since 1972 & I welcome Leeds Utd back into the top flight. Looking forward to the Roses rivalry once again.
@@peterkent1582 the jury is out on Ole. I’m not convinced to be honest if he’s the man to lead us on to former glories.. We have had so many false dawns under Ole..Fred needs to go ASAP as he’s a championship player at best. Matic’s legs have gone. Martial is unbelievably inconsistent that he needs to be turfed out. He’s had plenty of opportunities at OT. OGS blindly kept faith in De Gea for far too long that he’s cost United so many points in the last 2 yrs. Henderson is far more assured & more reliable & looks like he’s gonna finally be our no.1. Hope Ole proves his doubters wrong but I’m not holding my breath.
@@galtongabriel1172 No point trying to judge modern ( boring ) teams of today the 70`s were just superb for football you had Leeds The Doc`s Utd the Dutch and so on, todays football is run by the agents total parasites.
Man united 1993-94
I am a Liverpool fan 👍what a team Leeds were in 70s . Every single player was a hard man. Bremner, giles,charlton , Clark etc. not forgetting Norman bite your legs. No players in the premier like these guys ! Need Leeds and their fanatical fans back in the premier and get out the likes of Brighton and Huddersfield .
Possession football 30 years before Barcelona. Fabulous stuff and I'm not a Leeds fan
Tony Book & Maclolm Allison of Man City said years later ,that they were the Best ever British side at that time. I'm so glad I saw them as season ticket holder in the West Stand, before I left England to travel in 75.
Me neither. Just sublime.
Where’s that long ball game the British were known for? Both teams here passing it out from the back and brilliant possession from Leeds.
@@brixtonsaint London teams were the long ball merchant at the time. While Leeds were like Brazil.
Different class then how they did not win more cups is unbelievable
"Sniffer" Clarke was such a silky, smooth operator that, I am sure, Sade wrote a song about him!
And then Leeds did all the party pieces towards the end of the game. Spotted Johnny Giles doing a 'Rabona' pass. Genius!!!
What a team they were - still Remember this on MOTD even now 45 yrs on.
It's exactly why I came to watch this too: a defining, a justly famous, match of the time. Leeds were a magnificent team in the true sense. Even as a Tottenham fan I can still name all the Leeds players. Respect to the Leeds players & to the much maligned Revie, & also to your comment. Hopefully Leeds get promoted this season.
@@jarahandala4107 I was at the F.Cup match vs Colchester when this team lost 3-2
I am HTFC but that Leeds side were glorious. And I never agreed with or understood the ‘ dirty ‘ slur, they had enough ability to beat anyone. As I recollect every side had at least one hard nut, Chopper Harris, Nobby Stiles, Tommy Smith to name a few.
Leeds had more than a few. I saw them at Highbury and Jones had a filthy afternoon. But I watched in awe the magnificence of that Leeds side when they came to Ashton Gate in 74, only for our team to beat them. But the quality was there for all to see. I saw Revie's Leeds quite a few times in the early 70s, and they were both magnificent AND filthy. Why they never won a European Cup I will never know,
Rick Williams they were cheated out of it by Buy-ern Munich in Paris, some peculiar refereeing was going on in that game haha
Leeds had eleven hard men who could also play
Quite right. Probably the most collectively talented club side to have ever been assembled.
Best team of the 70s.
Brilliant commentary,brilliant team.Every single player was British.....how times have changed!
johnny giles was'nt british.
so true im old school united [man] live in wrexham so seen great wxm teams and my dads sisters lived in dartford so my cousins were charlton ive seen currie hudson bowles best marsh giles hunter osgood the lot brilliant what would they be on today if shreks on 300 k currie 500k [cheap at the price and entertaining ]barry davies commentater legend [he done sheff utd v west ham currie scores 1 of his specials .a quality goal from a quality player haha eat your heart out mr tyler p.s. charlie george too crook and peoples legend
neil williams "A quality goal from a quality player" was John Motson, although I otherwise agree with you about all those great 70s players.
+tarmonhill Aye. Half the Leeds team couldn't play for England, so this modern, foreigners are holding us (them) back is the pish it has always been. Liverpool late 70s too.
So much racism still in UK today. The one foreigner who has harmed UK more than the rest put together has been Maggie's buddy Rupert Murdoch, who is still stirring up hatred of foreigners
Football as art. Giles was a genius. He didn't do the flashy stuff but the little things that just opened things up.
how much i miss the old leeds
We were dirty but I didn't give a fuck as a kid, I just wanted to see my team win and just generally be a good team which were were. Dirty leeds and proud.
There is only one comment about this match. LEEDS UNITED COULD PLAY FOOTBALL. They had some of the best players in the world at the time.
they had the most expensive goalie in the world when he was sold the next year
I remember as a kid hearing this game on the radio. No live football then. As a Arsenal supporter I felt awe for this incredible Leeds team. Everyone of them was a legend.
best british side I've ever seen should have won much more trophies though.and leeds fans could really make some noise. brilliant, and I'm a hammer.
Have to agree and I really don't want to lol
Agreed, our brilliance cost us by being in everything going, the squad those days was never big enough for the amount of games we played, also certain 'ref's' in euro competitions cost us dearly.....
Teddy Cranfield I was 9 at the time and Leeds Utd and Blackpool were my Boyhood teams! Obviously Leeds! But I guess that Blackpool had won the Anglo/ Italian Cup!
I believe that Pool's Alan Suddick was on a par with United's Allan Clarke!
I Wonder what Bielsa would think of goal #6 , one central defender goes to the byline and crosses for the other one to score?
Revie's Leeds Utd side was known to be a no nonsense sort of team, when it came to tackling, a hard hitting Rough team, but no one talks about the beautiful footy they played.
Nobody could touch us, best team in the world
Super Leeds and the best Commentator ever....Barry Davies...Legend !
Barry Davies totally agree when commentating on an England match he always referred to them as England not we or us top man, unlike Mr Motson awful guy.
The greatest club side ever ................................. and I'm an unbiased Leeds fan
oh yes, very unbiased Leeds fan :)
@@mizofan You beat me to it ;-)
Probably one of the best English football teams ever
No Probably about it.
I used to think dirty leeds when i was watching them .
Only now i realise they were firm and full of talent you will never see the likes again
Everything went through Giles and Bremner. It was like being in the school team. If you have the ball just give it to the main men.
Giles and Bremner were my heroes as a kid, good days them. Dirty Leeds and proud.
Gray was very talented too but on the wing. Excellent balance to that team.
Saw leeds at their peak during years 1969 to 1974 brilliant !!
In the summer of 1972, we moved to Pudsey (W Yorks).
I used to go down to Elland Road 2 or 3 times a month to watch Leeds United.
They were dirty, mean, nasty, aggressive and cussed.
But - by goodness - they could also play a bit and l saw some fantastic football.
because of the fa, and the fact that Leeds had to play only two days after the fa cup final. Brian clough called it a 'miracle'
Barry Davies just purred throughout, didn't he? I love, "Make no mistake, there are some great players here . . . in fact, it's difficult to find one who's ordinary!"
I was there :-D
I don't think Barce have players anymore skillful than the likes Lorimer, Giles, Gray, Clarke, Bremner in this team. The difference would be in modern fitness levels and strength which are much higher now, however this Leeds team was famed not only for its flair, but it's strength and ability overpower opponents, so I think they could have given modern day Barce a run for their money
Leeds would have won many European Cups if it had been played like the Champions league format in the 60s and 70s. Tbf I think other English clubs would have done too.
I've been watching football for almost 60 years and only one club side played better football than the great Leeds side of the late sixties early seventies and that was the 1960 Real Madrid European Cup winning side. Love them or hate them this Leeds side were the greatest English footballing side I ever saw. I say footballing side, not like the boring dross they call football today. Greatest ever, ever footballing side had to be Brazil 1970 World Cup winning team!!
The Forest team of the late 70's early 80's were better than this lot. And i was a Leeds fan.
@@stuartcrossland1746 Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but you'll never convince me.
@@lajole9501 , maybe this will, ua-cam.com/video/wS-lLLjUIbg/v-deo.html
@@lajole9501 Or me!
At all subjective but I have to agree
What possessed you to not show the other 5 goals?
This vid is part 3 of 3. Check the others.
I remembered this match
I was a season ticket holder then and after I got home i went into a local pub and got sat with a local lad who played for Sheff Wed. First thing he said to me was: "That should never happen in the 1st division"!
what a great side yeh they lost the league title several times in the last game of the season but were battling on 3 fronts league, cup , europe this season last game they needed a draw at wolves last game on a monday night after winning the cup sat it would be unheard of now making a team play monday night for league title after playing cup final saturaday how i wish they would have won double cos leeds were a great side but sadly lost a lot of trophies at the last hurdle maybe to many fixtures caught up with them and some rotten luck eg: Cup winners Cup final 1973 ref got banned after that match :(
Outrageous that the FA made them play Wolves on the Monday after the Cup Final on Saturday. I have no doubt had the match with Wolves been on Wednesday of the following week they would have won at Molineux and claimed the double.
i do agree with all u said but one point is if u were so superior you would of won the league with games to spare. however i am not arguing your point
@@redflag8970 Aw come on. There were/are no easy games in the First Division/Premier League, especially near the end of the teams and against those teams fighting to avoid relegation either. The FA was pretty unfair to enforce Leeds to play a good team like Wolves so soon after the Cup. It wouldn't happen these days. i'm a Liverpool supporter but Leeds United was a wonderfully skilled team and thoroughly deserved their success and perhaps more.
@@eamonstafford2056 totally agree great side an very unlucky at times
Probably the best ever English club team. Shoulld have 4 or 5 championships and 2 or 3 FA cups.
But the games piled up for succesful clubs like Leeds at home and abroad, adding to the injuries and playing when tired or short of fitness and using inexperienced players as subs, etc.
Questions about temperament and corruption aside, that Leeds team was one of the UK’s best ever, irregardless.
It seems to me, 40 years after the fact, that they had an unrivalled team spirit, perhaps due to the siege mentality?
Everyone on that team at that time would have died for one another and boy could they play!
Total football at its finest
This is not unlike watching bielsas team
Clearly, Bielsa the best manager, from à Marseille fan 🇫🇷⚪️🔵
To think back in those days players used to drink,Smoke and party, yet they were playing world class football. Certainly puts todays game to shame.
More action and skill in one match than on an entire episode of Match of the Day from 2024
Sheer class from Leeds I went to my first game that year we beat Arsenal 3-0, shaw Big Jack and all of that team, just different gravy. I was only 5 the crowd got in my bones, never looked back. MOT.ALAW.
Always been puzzled why Mick Jones never seemed to figure much in the England set up.
probably because he was Welsh
@@peterwood-jenkins3634 since when did Shireoaks Nottinghamshire move to Wales? Jones was capped three times for England. England had plenty of centre forwards in those days; Hurst, Chivers to name two.
@@stephenhodgson3506 Thanks for the back-up here Stephen, I was staring to feel a bit foolish! I just always assumed he was English.
@@BarnsleyTimelord Clarke & Jones should've been paired up front for England many times from 69-75 Clarke was England's best finisher
I have completely lost interest in football now, but in the late 60s and 70s I had to keep up to date with the matches Leeds played. I have never followed another team. I think the Premier league as ruined football now.. I have not watched much but the way Leeds were able to play the ball around at the end.. Southampton just looked so rejected. I liked Mick Jones, good down to earth chap, as were most of them. Such a difficult team to play against. They should have had more trophies, but thems the breaks. A joy to watch.
A lot has been said about this Leeds side just being pipped for the title. If they’d had a couple more days’ rest after the Cup final, I have little doubt they’d have got their required draw against Wolves to win the Double
As a Leeds fan I should be cheering this supremacy on but over the years it makes me wince now as it was a tad disrespectful to Southampton, well more than a tad. Yes by all means go to score as many goals as possible, it all counts when goal differences come into play. They did rub Southampton faces into the ground, taunting their look how good we are. At the end they wouldn't have meant that but that is what occurred.
Every single one of those Leeds players was unique in the team, no two were similar and Paul Madeley could fill for any one of them. Fabulous team who were often a victim of their own success and too often had fixture congestion at the time they needed it least.
Billy Bremner should have been knighted!! RIP wee man
Amazing
70s was for Leeds, then came Notingham Forest, Liverpool (M was in hibernation), then briefly Leeds and Newcastle, followed by MU and Arsenal domination, .....
Southampton might as well have stuck eleven cruise ship waiters on the pitch.
Great side....and I'm a Town fan, I remember beating them in the cup in 1973 ish. 1--0
4:51 was this a Munich chant back then? I remember in the early 90's in the South Stand ar Elland Road i was stood on me seat singing this with my arms out like an plane, thinking i was funny when all of a sudden i was crashing to the ground. My Dad, who was at this game against Southampton, grabbed me and pulled me off my seat. I learnt that day that no matter how much you hate a rival team you reapect the dead.
Top class football by Leeds,a joy to watch....poor Southampton just didnt know what day it was..hahaha class commentray too
The Southampton Goallie wasn't scottish was he?
George Best said every team has a hard man but Leeds have got 11
06:44. Utter class.
The best English team ever..!!
LOLz - thanks for proving the underlying point, which, out of politeness, I omitted.
Wat a team brilliant
I believe Tony Book capt of Man City, said years later, that Leeds were the best team in Europe for a 4-5 year period in the 70s
If that were true they would have been European champions then wouldn't they?
They would have won the European cup in 1975 but for a weak French referee who allowed Beckenbauer to boss him around. Remember Leeds 'scored' first, the goal was initially given, and then the referee was persuaded to disallow it.
Back then you hsd to be champions to be in the European cup. Leeds were robbed of 2 titles by refereeing BUT never finished outside the top 4 for TEN consecutive seasons. With today's 'champions league' rules they'd have had 10 cracks at it. What did Phil Thompson say on Sky? 'This was a proper team and these were proper players by the way'. This was incredible to watch and just shows world class footballers on 50 quid a week on the top of their game. Allan Clarke was a brilliant forward.
how (we) derby won the league after that showing then i'll never know, brilliant stuff really....
Derby had a worse pitch and got on with it more. Giles and Bremner did too much of the same work. Should have dropped one for some games.
Most truly 'great' sportsmen know plenty about the history of their sport, more about their own country's players no doubt, but I'll bet they know more than you think about who went before from other countries. For example, do you think today's Inter Milan players have never heard of Celtic players from 1967?
They were my heroes. First went in 72. Fish and chip dinner and coach to Elland road. Stood on a wooden fold up seat in the old lowfields to see over the wall. A quick call into the old wooden club shop was magical for me and on the coach home again with final score on the coach radio. I remember this game still. Hardly ever missed a game until 92. They were the best- simple. When football was football, nobody dived, you had to break someone's leg to get a bit of a telling off! They played for the love of the game and they had loyalty. Today's players are spoiled and money-driven. It's a travesty they didn't win more trophies and titles. Met Billy three days before he died and they had time for you - all of them. John Charles a legend was wonderful and still the same person until he passed. I'd see him almost daily at the club, he loved it that much - a lovely soul. They don't make them like that anymore and if I had to go back to any footballing era, it would be the 70's. They were a family and all special people. They just had something that we will never see again and I feel so fortunate to have been there.
Messi would not even know who Bremner was! You think every young footballer is somehow made to sit down and learn the ...history of the game? Or that they're such big fans that they learn the game's history by themselves? LOL The kids only want to play ball, man. They know the local big names or some of the national stars and that's it. They learn their history proper and well when they retire! And become boring TV "pundits".
SUPER LEEDS
🧐🧐🧐
Leeds remembering that football is the entertainment business.
The Leeds glory days how much i loved the old Leeds utd dont think there will ever be another Leeds side like this one but just hope Leeds go up this year and dont start blowing hot and cold like they did last season the great Allen Clarke lives up the rd from me near silica lodge garden centre scotter rd scunthorpe i guess he decide to stay on here after he resigning from being scunthorpe utd manager back in the early 80's
This is when Leeds where a football team !!!!!!
You have to hand it to the Saints attacking when 6-0 down and was that their fans singing "God save our Team"? All credit to you for having a sense of humour! Greetings from a Leeds fan who, as a boy living in the south, only ever got to one match at Elland Rd - against Southampton! That time Saints won 3-1 with a penalty and two own goals, a result that saw the beginning of Leeds sliding down the table
No ! They were Northerm voices praising Leeds....
They had been a great team with classy players next time i saw them at Portsmouth during Redknaps Rein Pompey won seven or eight nill
I was at the F.Cup match vs Colchester when this team lost 3-2
Never to been seen again
Poor Southampton just don't know what day it is!!!! 😎. MOT👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
Go on big jack ...boro fan
Could - and should - have done that more. Distracted people at least.
The commentator was Barry Davies
Best commentator ever.
Legendary Leeds United... MOT
And here was me thinking that Ming was the only merciless one in the universe. Here you had eleven of them! Where was Flash Gordon when you needed him Saints?
Why the silky smooth striker Allan Clarke, along with Derby's Kevin Hector, never won more England caps around this time than they did defies logic!
is that the national anthem getting sung by the Leeds fans,
what a fuckin team!
the rams still took the title this season !!
+birdandthe
By default!
Leeds were forced to play a league match just 2 days after the cup final, they were knackered and they lost it.
Yeah but Derby had to play Newcastle on easter monday two days after beating Ledds 2-0 and they lost to Newcastle 1-0 Clive Bindley
+birdandthe
But derby had played nowhere near as many games as Leeds had.
Leeds were involved in at least 3 competitions incl lge cup, europe, and winning the FA Cup.
That was the problem, they were victims of their own succes and also the football lge wouldn't co-operate.
thats why they dident win the league.Clive Bindley
+birdandthe
Tell me..do you still worship the egotistical bullying pisshead known as Brian Clough?
Wonderful days of football no diving no corporate bullshit happy days:-)
@spastick really? dont mess about. really? where did you get this info? please reply
Giles was different class
Want about Giles flick near the end of the game 70s was a Man game but a lot of skill & most players of that era could use both feet also Southampton still keep having a go try their best getting stick in
06:43 Absolutely hilarious 😂
5:58 onwards is what Pep Guardiola plays to his team to learn
Did Everton beat Southampton 8-0 in same season?
I didn't see any of the Dirty Leeds in this video !
Lost title last game of the season had to play wolves less than 48 hours after Cup final sickening because I think they would have won European Cup following season
Southampton beat Leeds at the Dell though. 2 - 1 it was.
mick bates at 5.37
i thought Saints were unlucky
Yes, they really bossed the game!
Yes, Saints WERE unlucky - on seven occasions. They were also unlucky when Leicester smashed them for nine recently. Dear me, what a very 'unlucky' team, huh?
barry davies!
this southampton team would be relegated from leauge two today
Most athletes provenly know very little about the history of their sport and only a few top athletes know a bit more about it. When they retire and must exhibit historical knowledge, they learn more, perforce. What you hear coming out from most athletes' mouths nowdays are cliches and agent-fed soundbites.
You saw footballers who weren't athletes - now you see athletes who aren't footballers.
Pardon ?
I know what you mean!
