Leeds United movie archive - Hated Because Rated - The Rivals Who Rated Leeds 

Kevin Keegan. He got some abuse from Leeds fans, including being felled by a missile thrown from the Kop at Elland Road when playing for Newcastle in 1982. But I have so much respect for him. He is a really great person, a good human neing and a great footballing man. His respect for Don Revie, and Bill Shankly, is very touching.

Leeds United were a great side with a great manager between 65 to 75 this is coming from a lifelong Manchester United fan.

Leeds utd.One of the best club sides I have ever seen,Liverpool is right there with them.I have been watching football for60 years.It will be hard to get up to that level again.Thank you both teams for the fantastic memories.

Used to go watch them during the 70's. World class!!

You'll often hear negative comments from fans of other clubs about that Leeds side, many of who never actually saw them play. But then you hear the comments of other managers and professionals who played against them and in nearly every case they will sing their praises. Whose opinion will I listen to? the old pros and managers every single time. Many of the opinions from fans will be based on snippets from a game or from journalists who were never good enough to play the game and were/are nothing more than glorified fans.

It's noticeable listening to all the ex pros, that the best parts of that team are still the best parts of the best teams of the modern era. The ruthless pressing, the patient build up, playing out the back. Goes to show that Revie was decades ahead of his time

The skill level was extraordinary. I was lucky to see this team many times as a kid. Love the story about Paul Madeley signing a new contract without any of the terms filled in. Said he only wanted to play for Leeds, they could fill in the rest. Interestingly he later became a very rich man outside football.

Fantastic program. The stars from the old days salute the best team between 65-75. This bring some tears in my eyes as a lifelong LEEDS FAN from Norway. MOT ALAW

One of the best club sides ever

Well said Kevin Keegan great man. Alan Ball great man.

Fell in love with this white superteam in 1973💙💛. The worst memorie is that final in 75, when the ref steal the trophy they had deserved so Well. Everybody know this was the chanse for SUPERLEEDS, they where getting older and have won it all but not the biggest one. The Ref is dead now, and i hope hi had lot off fun with the money he get from Bayern. MOT ALAW NORWAY

I support Liverpool, but I've always loved watching Leeds play. No other team like them.

World Champ as just a kid. Alan Ball. If he says they were the best, you listen. Up the Toffees!

Eddie Gray.. Brilliant

Yorkshire was on the map back in those days with Leeds United FC they were great days.

They had flair, steel, incredible will to win and team spirit in shed loads. I agree about the comments about total professionalism - ahead of their time. Bad luck, bent refs and going deep every year in so many competitions stopped them from lifting more cups.

Brian Moore, very touching comments. Always loved him as a commentator

What a great side LUFC we're. Rip Dr.

Imagine if this Leeds United team played in today's game , no one would come close to them

One of the best and competitive games I ever saw was a home defeat for my team Everton in a FA Cup 4th round reply in January 1965 at Goodison Park. After a 1-1 draw at Leeds on the day of Winston Churchill's funeral. I was confident about the replay. But to two sides packed with internationals played a fiercely fought game until late in the second half when Jack Charlton scored, followed quickly by a breakaway goal from Don Weston. Fred Pickering replied straight away. And with minutes left Alex Scott was flattened in the penalty area and Ref Kevin Howley refused to award a penalty. The gate was in excess of 66,000 that night and the clash between Bobby Collins and Dennis Stevens was two great midfield players. Everton won the FA Cup the next year. Though the late 1960s Leeds team were outstanding, and should have won more trophy's.

God, we were good!

Great video, at 9:30 they could be talking about Bielsa's Leeds and the movement at 17:25 can be seen every game Leeds have played this season.

God I would have loved to have been around during this time. When football was a contact sport and players would die for the shirt. It was free to air on tv and some of the legends to grace the game. Ideally I'd love the physicality of the 70s, the kits and squads of the 90s and the technical ability of nowadays....I'd watch that

Love Brian Moore. What a gentleman

Leeds united,,,, number one when it mattered

That Leeds side were one of the best club sides I have ever seen. The football they played was magnificent. But they were so nasty, cynical and arrogant it is no wonder they were hated.

they had everything,skill and muscle.they knocked my team hibs out the fairs cup twice.

Brilliant

The George Best and Rodney Marsh and wanker Tony Wilson section picked out the favourable comments from a lot of negative shit as I remember. Nice to see Cloughie giving Don Revie some credit. Excellent compilation film though. The belief is that Leeds didn't win enough trophies which may be true but Leeds had a level of consistency for probably 60 or 70 games per season, before squad systems and rotation, competing on all fronts, they had a level of consistency unrivalled by any team before or since.

Alan Ball outstanding 👌👏 honest player who gave credit to Leeds. Clough is also honest here about big Jack! Whatever he thought of the "cheats" comment.

Great video thanks

When you listen to opinions about our club don't listen to journalists listen to those who played.

04:00 not well known fact, Don Revie signed Trevor Francis for Leeds before the start of the 74/75 season. When Brian Clough took over he didn't rate Francis and cancelled the deal. A few years later Clough realised his mistake and signed Francis for Forest

There was this never ending hatred of the great Leeds team ,dirty Leeds dirty Leeds. I think between 64 to 70 there was more than some truth to it . But 70 to 75 they played some great great football. Hard but gifted . Every team had hard men back then . Liverpools Tommy Smith was an animal .just ask Geoff Nulty. Chelsea had Ron Harris . Man Utd had Nobby Stiles ,they were like minders that allowed the great players to play. You get booked these days for tackling as all the foreign players roll around like gymnasts .

fabulous (steaksid) great work ..... any idea how ‘we’ can ‘take on’ UEFA, Fifa (If needs be) The mafia or whoever was responsible for the curse but mainly corruption v Leeds , renewing a previous failed attempt v Uefa Over the Milan game ...... Why don’t ‘we’ take the fight on again ....l even if we take Milan and Munich to court unless they rightfully hand over the trophies to Leeds ..... or else .... One of my favourites as a footie quizzer is who is the only international club side that appeared in 2 Euro club finals that where cheated out of them both over a period of 3 years ?? ...... Easy .... Leeds , with one ref being banned for life the other getting off Scott free but didn’t do anything else ...... like Liverpool and English clubs where Shafted by Heysel and Hillsborough disasters to get ‘authority’ ‘off the hook’ for their handling and responsibility of these disasters ......by the way let’s start a petition ....l now and start off with Uefa, Thatchers Tory Government that era, Ac Milan, last but not least Bayern Munich and both remaining finalists players subpoena as witnesses, if we got justice for Liverpool, let’s get justice for Leeds, Everton, Wimbledon, Luton, Coventry, and all of the best of British clubs affected by the corrupt cliques we called Uefa....also included Celtic, Dundee Utd the list goes on whilst fifa and uefa continuously get away with it ....., English and British clubs where the best and the world and Europe where envious and manipulated the whole thing over and over again.....even refusing to award England World Cup host nation statues .... why ? ..... because we are the best !!!

Don Revie and Billy Bremner wasLeeds United . Far better football game back then, if you got taken out you got back up and got on with the game.

Alan ball was spot on,they were the best.

Is it coming back

Missed out on league twice on goal difference should have won more but they were robbed in European Cup final v Munich

⚽️💙💛Super Leeds United💛💙⚽️

Tommy Smith. Pot kettle and black!

9.12 WOW

The best side going end of

I didn't see them but watching old footage, their 'keeper looked dodgy. With a better 'keeper, they'd have won much more.

⚽️💛💙 L U F C 💙💛⚽️

Malcolm Alisson is describing total football - the Dutch copied Leeds!

leeds appeared in 10 major finals and won 4 under revie, , post revie losing to villa 3-0 in the 96 league cup final, they also were in three play off finals and lost all three to charlton , watford and doncaster , so the conspiracy theory is blown out of the water, when it comes down to bribes , time etc , its just a case of bottling it or not been good enough when it really matters.

Revie's Leeds teams were crammed with top qualty players, yet they were so detested by the neutrals, of which I am one. It could have been so different, but Revie made them into a bunch of thugs. Compare them to Clough's Derby and Forest, both of whom played superb football, and were immensely popular. Clough made a mistake going to Leeds, but the Leeds players made an even bigger mistake by not accepting him. It was their loss.

"they knew every trick in the book"... go on then Ball give some examples, just anecdotal rubbish. Osgood - talks as if no other player in any other club ever connected a referee's decision, ever tackled hard or even fouled a player... it's all bullshit.

they were consistent yes , consistent at falling at the final hurdle far too many times , they lost far more titles by finishing runners up, than they actually won , they lost three out of four fa cup finals they appeared in , and lost in two major european finals , a great side yes , but certainly not the greatest ever , great sides win trophies on a regular basis , leeds trophy count is nowhere near what it should have been

They were great but you have to admit they were dirty and knew every trick going they moaned and groaned at the ref even if they were in the wrong and they left the boot in used studs and their disciplinary record shows that do a degree but they got away with a lot

European cup semi-final of 1970, Glasgow Celtic player them off the park and won both legs. That Celtic team was superior in every way. They should have won more than 1 EC.

Celtic destroyed them in the European cup semi in 1970 ...in both legs!

Good team but revie was a crook bribes and clough .

What a surprise, Leeds fans begging for attention.

Biggest bottlers ever

Best team in the 1970s..! What nonsense! LFC a country mile the best .. Leeds dirty also rans! Look at the records.

They were a disgrace to sportsmanship. For professional read cheats.
