More vintage action from Elland Road here as United took on Nottingham Forest on the 1st May, 1971. Revie's side won the game 2-0 with two great goals from Billy Bremner and Peter Lorimer in front of 43,083 fans.
I am a Birmingham fan. I watch a lot of videos of Leeds from the 70's. It was hard game then for Christ sake. I don't see them any different from the other teams. And they played some wonderful football. Yes, Eddie Gray was a wizard.
@@duncanboolay9424 I agree. I recall a doc when this was put to Ian st John, we could play football but if teams wanted to mix it we has Tommie Smith, Ronnie Yeats, Gerry Bryne.
What a great advert for the beautiful game,Unlike todays win at all costs mentality, with diving being almost encouraged.Feigning injury is my biggest bug bear,.Give me the old game any day,
The Leeds team of the period of 68 to 74 is very similar to Manchester City of today. I think Gundogan is also very similar as a player to Billy Bremner different personality though.
It's odd watching these old matches. I expect the ref to blow for an infringement when a keeper handles a backpass. When Macklin mention Mckenzie, I thought I'd stumbled into a time paradox, then remembered Dunc played for Forest then. I was a fan of Revie's Leeds but thought Forest had a decent side in the sixties which they pissed away selling off every decent player.
As a neutral and having watched many of these matches of the 60's and 70's online, I feel compelled to ask, "Who was the better midfielder/winger....George Best or Eddie Gray?
This time was a more honest time in the game, some did look to the referee for many decisions, But today, they look to the ref every bleedin time, I wont watch, or pay to watch the game today, its alien to me !
