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!
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.
As a big leeds fan , When Revie left, leeds were in decline , i Think if John Giles had taken over, the spirit would not have gone out the Club , And that for me was the difference here ,,once Revie left the spirit went
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.
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.
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) 😁
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.
@ 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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?".
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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. 😢
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!
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.
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".
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.
@@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.🍀
He was running round like a headless chicken tackling far too late which is why Giles punched him. To be fair though he did try to stop Giles being sent off before being thumped again for his troubles.
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.
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
@hanajinks I never said you were! I thought you were, in a 'banterish' way, calling me a wimp for being scared of being stabbed, kicked to pieces and/or slashed. Though, I did almost loose the sight in one eye when a brick came through a football special train window in 1977. The police and hospital staff were brilliant but the incident has made be a 'wimp' ever since, I referred to 'they' not 'you'. But if the hat fits.....
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
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! ⚽️🏆❤😆
Your right,so sad the way things are now wish someone at the top would have the balls to cap the amount of foreign players in every team in Europe including the UK to 5 players on the pitch at any given time.Then we fans might just about feel we can identify with our club and team.
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 👍
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.
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.
