Leeds United v West Ham 16/01/71 - The Big Match 

What a goal by Hunter! Thanks for uploading all these videos, a pleasure to watch. MOT

Great finish by Rod Belfitt here, doing precisely what a good striker should be doing, and moving in for the ball at the moment Lorimer shoots in anticipation of it being spilled by the keeper. Along with men like Mick Bates, Terry Hibbitt and Terry Yorath he was one of the understudies of that great Leeds side who rarely gets mentioned in the same breath as the Reaneys, Bremners, Hunters etc, but could always be relied upon when needed, as he shows here.

Regardless who you support there's some great players out there on both teams with household names like many teams in the 60s & 70s.

I’m a Leeds fan but in those days all teams played great football good old days . Loved old grounds

Upton Park , in the 60's-90's was a great compact ground , great atmosphere , especially under the floodlights . I use to love going there .

The old Leeds owl badge was the best much better than the the Leeds badge today.

Thanks Wafll, Very exciting game-good win for Leeds at Upton Park.

Hunter with his right foot, Brooking with his head - what was going on???!!

Rod Belfitt is my uncle from south elmsall- Layton byrom

When a goal is scored only Brian Moore gets excited like no one else can. Big Jack tells it as it is & should have managed Leeds when Don Revie left but no one asked him. Odd.

Those 2 8 year old boys who run on pitch would get a criminal record today

Norman never did get credited for that first goal. MOT

@5:03 Norman Hunter should've added thunderbolt to his repetoire of nicknames what a goal that was.

The old goalposts were the best. Especially at Upton park. Now we are stuck with the tied back nets and no stanchions that have no class whatsoever. Oh for the old Wembley style nets and metal stanchions..

I think that Eustace's disallowed goal was ruled out for a push on Charlton. The referee was in a good position but to me it looked a harsh decision. Notice how Charlton and Sprake had already harangued the ref for awarding a corner, and how that compared with West Ham's simple acceptance of the disallowed goal. Leeds intimidated rivals and refs alike at that time.

I wonder if Sprake bollocked Charlton for the mistake Jack made for WHU's first goal ? Gave Eustace a free header. Quick to blame others eh, Mr Charlton ?

thats a great shout

I bet Hunter couldn't believe his luck with a strike like that!

Interesting that at the start the great Brian Moore clearly has no idea that Jimmy Greaves had played his last ever league game.

great game!!!

Why has no-one picked up on the fact this in black and white, 2 years after colour was introduced?

This was real football. When world was world...

The comment at the start about the absence of mainstays like Greaves and Moore was mass suspensions after most of the team got well oiled at a Blackpool night club before an FA Cup game

Has Paul Madeley ever played goalkeeper because Mr Versatility seems to have played every other position on the field?

These days they would say something like "West Ham might be a bit disappointed with their display today". Carlton: "they were the biggest pile of shit I've played against all season."

To beat Leeds you had to stop Giles and Bremner getting the ball. Then Hunter breaking your legs!!

6:08 kid runs onto pitch! LOL

Remember when Upton Park was a football stadium? It's all Hagen Daas West Aaaam naaaaaa... 45 years later, Bonds (??????? ) in his Daimler Sovereign pauses to watch beach volleyball in front of the sand castles and have a... or perhaps a Ben 'n' Jerries with a Fluffie Luvvie Flake and a Luft wafer.

Far kin ell Harry, bet you girlfriend/wife would have scored that 😲 🤣 😂

Wonderful Leeds & no one likes us but we don't care..

West Ham had 3 world cup winners but did sod all for years after 66. The press tried to depict them as the footballing aesthetes bullied by the physical likes of Leeds and Liverpool. The truth was they saw themselves as self-styled football aristocrats - as Eamonn Dunphy skewered the once - but lacked the willingness to graft and sweat for results.

Disallowed goal for what nothing , load of bollocks.
