All down to the Don.... he saw the future. And wow, what a legend he created for the generation of fans who adore this club.... the legacy he made...RIP you lost legends, thank you.
I was at both these matches Leeds were robbed blind then but on aregular basis refs what fucking refs man u should have been kicked out of football for ever in england
E' ufficiale: è morto mio zio Angelo Utili, purtroppo. Valeva di più dei 40 pounds di multa dell' A.s.d. Calvairate ( io e magari quel ramo di famiglia r.i.p. col Calvairate calcio ). A parte il gagliardetto della Marottese anni 80 saluto gli edili e i costruttori, anche della provincia di Bergamo Saluti e buon 2024 a tutti i britannici: vi affido i miei nipotini dalla grandissima città metropolitana di Milano, io sempre Comune, però.
When footballers were tough as the boots they were & weren't afraid of getting stuck in when it mattered & yep Leeds of old probably the best team of that era 👍👍👍
This marked the beginning of the end for the great Man.Utd sixties team. Ageing Bobby Charlton and a creaking defence. They also suffered hammerings from a young Ipswich and Crystal Palace teams 4-0 and 5-0. Best new the game was up and soon realised his time was better spent on a bar stool. The club had failed to invest and were soon relegated a few years later.
Best at no.11 was having one of his lazy games, where if it didn’t come to his feet he wasn’t going to bother. He could be brilliant, but on this day Leeds team effort was unstoppable.
Leeds lost more than they won by a very long way. Fa cups particularly and in Europe. Jackie played in 4 fa cups after the world Cup.won one. Credit they won the league at A😮nfield,, 2 uefa cups. Well beaten in the European Cup. Thier fans destroyed Paris after 76 Bayern. Classy of them.Not a patch on paisley's Liverpool. Jackie should have moved to Liverpool when he had the chance
i know revie tried to buy wins on bribery, why god knows, especially when you had one of the greatest football teams in England, and im a LFC fan....watch Leeds destroy southapton in 1973 i think. its on youtube, perfection
Three occasions when the Gelderd End would be guaranteed to buzz with excitement. 1. Lorimer lining up to take a free kick with the goal in visual range. 2. Eddie Gray on the ball taking on a defender - hopes of Burnley revisited. 3..Billy Bremner on the ball anywhere - a sense that anything cold happen.
I was blessed to be a teenager in those days when football wasn't dominated by the team with the biggest cheque book. Ok they signed sniffer Clark for a then record £166,000 but the bulk of the team were brought in just out of school. As a young Scottish Leeds fan I never got the chance to see them at Elland Rd but I was very fortunate to see the many great Scottish Leeds players at Hampden in a Scottish jersey. It's a shame Eddie Gray missed out on many Scottish caps through injury, he was a special talent. Thanks for the memories, Eddie and Frank Gray, Billy Bremner who played 773 times mostly as captain, Peter Lorimer, David Harvey, Joe Jordan, Gordon McQueen, Duncan Mackenzie. Those days are gone, it's all about money, no more loyalty playing for the jersey. Sadly, I've no time for football now, maybe gets played on better surfaces by fitter players who's diet is better, but 69% are not even British getting paid more in a week than the PM gets in a year. Just pathetic. 😢😢
I was a spurs fan then and followed them all over the country. However, never told my fellow spurs fans but i loved watching leeds. Best football ive ever seen. Superb football team
