12/04/1969 - The Big Match 

Whether you like them or loathe them that was a great Leeds team to stay at the top for 10 years with the same players and only one sub is a tremendous achievement.

Has an Everton fan I recall when Leeds came up from the old second division, into the first in season 1964-65. I was at the game at Goodison Park in November 1964 when both teams were taken off near half time, due to a highly charged clash between some players. A tackle by Paul Reaney on Derek Temple was the trigger point. A goal by Willie Bell won the points for Leeds that afternoon. Later in the season in January 1965 both sides met in the 4th round of the FA Cup and a replay at Everton saw Leeds win 2-1. It was one of the most competitive games I ever saw, The crowd was around 68,000. Norman Hunter once said games between Everton and Leeds in the 1960s were the hardest Leeds were a formidable side, with many great players. Both sets of supporters might wish they had the players from both clubs in the 1960s

This must be the first season of The Big Match....a season after ATV London's Star Soccer....I think Star Soccer became Midlands only,this season!

When the world was normal.

What a punch from Sprake...😂...never saw that one coming...😊

9:28 Magnificent control and pass from Mick Bates for the first Leeds goal.

Brave of Ure to go on and honestly talk through what was a nightmare of a game.

The only game Jack Charlton missed all season. Speake, Reaney, Bremner and Hunter played in all 42 matches. Jones missed just 2 and O'Grady just 4. Tremendous consistency.

magnificent team

This is Canada calling... Always enjoy these Matches as old as I am showing more mature style of play than today's dive-filled games - though impressive cross by Strake, regardless... That Sunderland snippet was a nice nugget despite both short and a goal against - at least they aren't bottom of their Division at present... Thanks for Ye Olde uploads, Sire. Respect

How did Sprake avoid getting sent off?! Inconceivable in the modern game 😂

Gould getting chinned. Glorious

Great left hook from sprake,Henry cooper would have been proud of that, still Leeds were a great side back then, even though they could give a bit of g,b,h out the golden age of football. Adiós amigos

Ian ure is 29 when recorded, he looks 50 if hes a day nowadays

Why was Sprake not sent off for that punch on Gould

Why are they taking it down if they're not gonna post it on youtube themself?😅

Love Norm but bloody hell he was a liability sometimes. how many goals did opponents get from free kicks just because he had upended someone. wouldnt change him though. CLASS!

Similar to this channel, where has heavy roller gone?

Notice garry sprake not wearing gloves and rhe balls were heavier in those days .....
