leeds were better than us and it was fair that they progressed to the final, and they might have taken the trophy if they hadn't been robbed in the final
@@mrjones29 Manchester United spent a few years in and out of relegation in the 70s but the club was still massive with great support, old Trafford in the standing era was awesome, Leeds fan ☮️
I didn’t go to this game as I was 4 and my first game was in 1978 against Arsenal and Brian greenhoff was making his debut that Wednesday night...An old Man U favourite if I remember correctly
I was lucky enough to be at this game,Caught the train from Luton £20.00 return! changed at Sheffield. Arrived in Leeds late afternoon. The City was Rocking!! jumped on a double decker bus to the ground and the atmosphere was electric. Got talking to a few lads and they could'nt believe I had come up from Luton, One of the best days of my life, I will never forget it... SUPER LEEDS UNITED.
DWI And you are too young to have ever seen football when it was a game of sport played by real men in stadiums that had electric atmospheres, not overpaid nancy boys playing in sterile surroundings!
I saw this Leeds United team against my team (Chelsea) at the beginning of the 1970's - I have always been impressed by them and they were, without doubt, the first "Superteam" this Country ever produced.
+Boxersboy1964 I'm not a Leeds fan , or Manchester United , but I think you will find that the "Busby Babes" were the first "Superteam" as you put it this country ever prouduced , . If i'm wrong I will apologise
In lockdown watching old matches ! David Coleman the noise of the crowd , love em or hate em the Leeds side of the early 70s had lots of skill and steel one of the best sides ever.
Cruyff was the greatest player I have ever seen, and Neeskens was not far behind. Yet Leeds made them look ordinary that night. Unquestionably in my mind one of the three greatest English club sides ever, alongside Busby's 1968 Man Utd side and the Liverpool of the late 80s. Also fantastic commentary by the late, great David Coleman.
WELL SAID, living near Leeds I had the pleasure of watching this great side during the whole of it's glory years, 65-75, this was the last great season, from 76 we were past our best,
Thanks. I do not recall teams in Spain allowing 3 players on the field all at the same time until the early 90's. Real Madrid comes to mind: Netzer/Breitner in 74-77; Jensen/Stielike in 77-79; Stielike/Cunningham in 79-82; Stielike/Metgod in 82-84; Stielike/Valdano in 84-85; Valdano/Hugo Sanchez in 85-87... In the early 90's I recall Prosinecki/Rocha/Hagi in 90-92... then, of course, along came the Bosman ruling and the rest is history
We play Leeds first game of this season, just glad it's not this side. They were summat else. When The Beautiful Game was for blokes, not falling about wankers as is today.
Thank you so much for uploading. I am a Dutch man and a huge Barcelona fan. This however the first time I was able to see my two fellow Dutch man Johan Cruyff and Johan Neeskens play for Barcelona. I must say the Leeds played better than Barca here and deservingly won.
A classic game to watch, even now, and there was no shirt pulling in them days, just a great game to watch, apart from the referees decision to give a free kick, I felt that Reaney did his upmost to win the ball fairly.
As a long suffering Spurs fan..I don't mind admitting I was also a a fan of Leeds,and any team who played good Football!Sure they were Tough (u hear many a comment they were Dirty!)but I think they just played hard(except for Norman Hunter,who could play&certainly kick lumps out of the opposition!) But the bottom line,they were a fantastic team,with so much talent!. You Yorkshiremen should always feel proud!(I'm absolutely jealous, considering at the crap coming out of Tottenham these days!). And I don't care what anyone says FOOTBALL was better back then!..Now we have more FLASH&Pazazz,a lighter football(which allows the most average player to bend a shot in from 50 yes!)very little Physicality,way to much "diving"! and so on!..But this was the game we loved👍
Super Leeds in action against Barcelona in the European Cup semi-final at r church Elland Road great atmosphere who are we all leeds aren't we leeds leeds leeds salute !
Wow, what a game! Great job Leeds. Grit, determination and class. 2 brilliant half volley goals to seal it. Never a foul to gift them the equalizing free kick either.
Yes I totally agree, the old European Cup , so much more entertaining than the vile Bloated champions league, all the teams had great players, when a great coach could make a difference, imagine something like what Brian Clough did with Forest happening in today’s predictable boring game.....
@@spencerglover1 The current league system is all about money and removing the possibility of smaller clubs progressing to the knock- out stages. The massive clubs can afford to lose or draw a few games and still progress. Having the same clubs in last four every year makes it tedious.
That first Leeds goal was poetry..ball drilled up to big man , knock down and half volley finish from BB... love to watch that today, but it just does not happen....RIP Johan..BBrem..Paul Madeley, Yorath etc..great times
900k for a player in 1975 though! Crazy money back then, worth it and very few clubs if any others at all could have paid that, Cruyff was fucking amazing, I did the AJAX ground tour recently and his legend lives on, Made really intense after a nice smoke (fuck it, I was in Amsterdam) Seeing the 3 European cups won in a row is amazing Obviously includes the original full size one Amazing player And it was watching players like cruyff that made me fall in love with the game growing up.
he was a defender from Brazil. he was the captain of his National Team. I still remember Barça at those times, they had a lot of skilful players. However, they couldn´t reach that final. good footages thanks for posting this video.
@@michaelalexander9386 What a load of crap. Of course you can get cheated and still win. That decision for their free kick was wrong, so they were cheated in that instance.
Gordon McQueen was a fitting replacement for Jack Charlton, that goalkeeper got so nervous when corners came across. I think that Peter Lorimer may have made a difference if he'd got on. Would have loved to have been there.
Me Old Man worked at International Harvester in 1975. I seem to recall Barcelona trained at their sports facility down in Apperly Bridge (tho, I was 10 at the time - so best not quote me on that) but IH did end up getting a signed match ball from the lovely lot at Barca...which was raffled off and me dad promptly won...and gave to me. 39 years later - it's stuck in a Morrisons shopping bag - in a wardrobe - sorta gathering dust.
That stayed at what was The Baron of Beef, Highfield Road in Bradford. We waited outside and Neeskens came out and chatted to us for fifteen minutes or so.
Watch Cruyff try his trademark turn at 7:31 and how Gordon McQueen sticks to him like glue. Cruyff was the greatest of the great, but Gordon McQueen as something special, too.
yes indeed, i was lucky enough to be a regular during the glory years, he took a while to settle in, but in due course became just as effective as Jackie Charlton;.
I am Austrian, 12 years young back then ... I was a SUPER LEEDS UNITED FAN! Loved their game - and notice - it was 1975 - sooo different to "know" or "watch" a foreign soccer club ... and I love all the super players ... in that time LEEDS UNITED just had only NATION TEAM PLAYERS in the team! England - Wales - Scotland - Northern Ireland just heros in the team! And remember or let you tell you (younger readers :-) ) WE HAD THAT SUPER-SEMIFINAL: REAL MADRID - BAYERN MÜNCHEN ... FC BARCELONA - LEEDS UNITED .... Bayern went over Real Madrid - Lees went over Barcelona ... LEEDS UNITED was the super-big favourite for the final in Paris vs Bayern ... LEEDS dominated the whole match ... Bayern came 2-times before the LEEDS goalkeeper ... and scored 2 goals ... well ... then the Leeds fans oer "fans" droped down to the field their plastic seats ... and MY SUPER CLUB WAS BANNED FROM INTERNATIONAL GAMES for years ... all the stars left LEEDS UNITED of course ... A SUPER TIME OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL ... Ajax ... Bayern ... Leeds ... Barcelona .... Real ... I WILL ALWYS REMEMBER MY STARS OF FOOTBAL IN THESE 1970s ... ♥
Highlights how under rated and unsung Paul Reaney was in that great Leeds side.My guess is that he was first on the team sheet before Bremner Clarke Lorimer Giles et al. Should have been an England regular.
Notice the respect given to the referee no matter the decision. Notice no diving or play acting. Notice when somebody got a kick or a knock they just got up and carried on.
Impressionante como o futebol se tornou uma 💩 nos dias atuais. Essa época era "de verdade", sem mimimi. Saudades do verdadeiro futebol. Parabéns Marinho Peres!!! Jogou no meu grande SANTOSSS de Pelé, Edu e Cia. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏
O brasileiro Marinho Chagas jogando no time. Jogava isolado lá atrás sem apoio de ninguém, deixou até passar um gol do adversário. Acho que Cruyff percebeu isso e o chamou para conversar. Marinho falou sobre isso mais tarde.
I'd forgotten just how bloody good Leeds were back then ....of course it took a ex Blackpool player as manager to bring the best out of them in Europe !!....respect
Joe Jordan (10:34) practising his "heading" technique for that infamous penalty awarded to Scotland against Wales in the World Cup qualifying match in 1977!
Anybody else like myself who would rather watch the highlights of games like this, rather than the crap that passes for football nowadays. Real players putting in real tackles, and no one rolling around as if they've been shot by a sniper.
I totally agree , if Bobby Moore or Beckenbauer [ cheat ] had made that tackle the referee and linesman would have given them a round of applause and asked them for autographs !!
I wonder why English clubs filled with British players and managed by an English manager was good enough to beat Barcelona and reach a European Cup final back then, but isn't anymore. The best English clubs now have 2 or 3 British players in their side at best and are always managed by a foreigner.
Do you want 50 000 words. Our good guys were poor people all they had was the ball and the dream. Then came video games/ social media and stranger danger. Not allowed and don't want to go out. Got to learn to love the ball.
Nowadays seeing Barca win Champions League. its like there was a time they were the most biggest of underdogs. This video is great...shame Leeds and Barca couldnt draw in the final instead. It would have been a scrappy final, not as dirty or dull...It would have its excitement!!! thnx for posting the vid
Along with Borussia Mönchengladbach, who were five times Germans champions in the 1970s, reaching five European finals as well, which was more than Leeds on both counts.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Perhaps more than Leeds, but perhaps they didn't suffer some of the travesties of justice Leeds did? 73 ECWC final, 75 EC final, 72 league. I'd also say Bundesliga wasn't as tough as English div 1, fewer games & less competitive. If you were to look at how many high profile games Leeds had to play in EC semi's, Fa cup semi's, sometimes playing 2 games in 2 days you might see how Leeds were treated unfairly. Interestingly Moenchengladbach only reached 1 EC final in 5 attempts, 20% success rate...Leeds 50% success rate. Naturally you are entitled to your opinion, as I am & I stand by my original statement.
What a great Team we had back then we got Robbed in the final should of been Leeds United European champions in 1975 bent Ref cost us big time . Marching on together 🤍💛💙🇮🇨👊🦚
Has anyone ever noticed that no one...but no one in any of these old clips from the 70's could sew on the number 11 straight?. It is wonky every time..lol..
One thing that escapes me is that Barça fielded two Dutchmen, a Brazilian and an Argentine when, back in those days, you could only start two players outside the team's home country. How did they get away with it?
He's talking about the two foreigner limit that was in place in most European nations. I think Barca got round it possibly by naturalising the South American players; or because the Spanish FA didn't have too stringent rules?
Actually they could sign 5 foreigners. However, 2 or 3 could only be allowed to play. This must have been before that aforementioned rule was in place. This also was after the Spanish League lifted the ban on foreigners. And with Barca, they really capitalised when they signed Cruyff.
Gotta love Dave Coleman's commentary..The master of emphasis, one-liners and at key moments total silence..A real one-off!
jordan.....yorath.........CLARKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
leeds were better than us and it was fair that they progressed to the final, and they might have taken the trophy if they hadn't been robbed in the final

In lockdown watching old matches ! David Coleman the noise of the crowd , love em or hate em the Leeds side of the early 70s had lots of skill and steel one of the best sides ever.

Absolutely, made him look mortal
I was there and you just had to admire the ball skills of Cruyff on that night. Just brilliant and it was a fantastic night for Leeds.
Reaney made that second goal for Leeds. He was a class, quality player.
the tackles were crunching in them days and the players just got on with it unlike today lol
Leends mi equipo en principios de los 2000 era un equipazo y le sigo con el leends espero q suba en este año ..vamos leends....
Inolvidable equipo del leeds de esa época, los bremner, Giles, lorimer, clarke, y antes con j. Charlon y m. Jones, equipo de leyenda!
Leeds really really was the best club team in the world in the early 70,s ....without doubt !!
Maybe in England, but the best club in Europe was Ajax, the club Cruyff was playing for until 73. Won the European Cup 3 times in a row.
Celtic V Leeds in 71 European Cup semi final was epic....still a record attendance I think. A genuine Battle of Britain 。
Negative it was may 1970.im 67 I know was at the game at elland road.

England doesn't even have a lot of quality players, and every big European club nowadays is mostly foreigners.
Because Barca then were nowhere near as good as Barca now. Nationality has nothing to do with skill.

If you were to look at how many high profile games Leeds had to play in EC semi's, Fa cup semi's, sometimes playing 2 games in 2 days you might see how Leeds were treated unfairly. Interestingly Moenchengladbach only reached 1 EC final in 5 attempts, 20% success rate...Leeds 50% success rate. Naturally you are entitled to your opinion, as I am & I stand by my original statement.
What a great Team we had back then we got Robbed in the final should of been Leeds United European champions in 1975 bent Ref cost us big time . Marching on together 🤍💛💙🇮🇨👊🦚
Rexach actually managed Barca for a bit and was at the helm when Barcelona beat Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield in 2001
Ah yes tackling..........I remember that!
Has anyone ever noticed that no one...but no one in any of these old clips from the 70's could sew on the number 11 straight?. It is wonky every time..lol..
Great kits
Get your kits out for the lads..
LEEDS UNITED ETAIT UNE DES MEILLEURS EQUIPES AU MONDE A CETTE EPOQUE ET ILS ONT MANQUE DE CHANCE ET SURTOUT VOLE PAR LES ARBITRES
All of Leeds goals in both legs were made by the renowned and feared aerial power of Joe Jordan!
Michels, Cruyff, Neeskens made a football machine of Ajax, but could not do that to Barca in 1975-1978. That happened 15 years later.
The best british club side ever. Robbed of the european cup. played beautiful football with steel.
Bollox dirty cheating c4nts, you know sh1t ask Gary Sprake about the cheating.
One thing that escapes me is that Barça fielded two Dutchmen, a Brazilian and an Argentine when, back in those days, you could only start two players outside the team's home country. How did they get away with it?
1991 was the start of the three-two rule.

He's talking about the two foreigner limit that was in place in most European nations. I think Barca got round it possibly by naturalising the South American players; or because the Spanish FA didn't have too stringent rules?
It was European football and therefore under EUFA rules. Clearly all above board.
A l'époque, cela avait été une grosse surprise.
For me, Leeds' greatest moment.
Imagine today's bunch of prima donnas facing some of this tackling. Marinho able to give it with the Leeds lads.
RIP Brian Clough
Leeds united,of the U K, verses the current best club team on the planet, but back then, Leeds were robbed blind.
Actually they could sign 5 foreigners. However, 2 or 3 could only be allowed to play. This must have been before that aforementioned rule was in place. This also was after the Spanish League lifted the ban on foreigners. And with Barca, they really capitalised when they signed Cruyff.
Jordan did the same thing against Wales at Anfield in 1977
what he said was Leeds was the best team back then but got cheated out of many cups because of the referees.
