But a dirty sod. Keegan was trying to get at the ball and Giles floored him. At a Charity match!! That's Leeds, folks. And the stupid smirk on the interviewer's face. Pathetic.
John please live and be well forever - my favourite Leeds player ever - I am supposed to be working from home and I’ve just got a John Giles interview marathon going in the background....my fondest regards to you Sir - I’d love to hear you talk about Billy Bremner
Was at that game and was a snappy affair for a charity shield, being a red, keegan was superb, Giles was also a superb player, nobody can say that match was boring 😁
Of course he shouldn't have done it(and let's be honest JG spun around txt book style and claimed KK,)but Keegan was racing around on a mission to kick as many Leeds players as possible..But then he met JG and was"ironed out"unceremoniously!!
It was a good hit by Johnny. To be fair Keegan got back up and didn’t make much of an issue with it neither did the Liverpool players, it was a different game then.
Was a crazy little eleven-year-old Leeds fan when watching this on live TV in Dublin. Still recall being amazed my hero Johnny stayed on the pitch! But Kev was even getting on my nerves, for feck's sake. Sock it to 'em, Johnny!
King Kevin v anyone on that Leeds team ? No competition: Kevin wins every time , if it’s football we’re talking about. But if it’s boxing - then it’s Leeds, every time.
Not only did Giles enjoy a legal victory v. the David Peace book but Dave Mackay also enjoyed one (v. the film version). As a Hollywood lawyer called Fred Leopold used to say, "If you have real people as characters they can have lattes and muffins but they can't say, 'Let's go for a f**k in the bushes'."
That Leeds team was incredibly gifted but spent more time proving how tough they were. Liverpool won so much more because they had much better discipline.Keegan was just closing people down. Giles and Bremner couldnt handle it. Keegan won the ballon d,or twice. Giles was a donkey compared to him.
No worse than any other. Chelsea were the dirtiest team at that time. The "dirty Leeds" tag was southern journalistic license and it stuck. No more in it than that.
Still think Leeds - Chelsea was the dirtiest game ever outside of South America and Eastern Europe. If played today there wouldn't be a player left on the pitch and some of em would be lucky to get off with an ABH charge.
Anybody would be in a mood if Hunter was on his case. Revie must have told Norman to unsettle Keegan and Kevin was young and niaive in 1974 and took the bait.
JUST IN CASE YOUR REFERRING TO KEVIN Keegan .Not in his nature. WELL KEVIN ISNT NOR WAS NEVER A BULLY MENTALLY /PHYSICALLY. Rightly sent off but was a bit riled with things being said on the pitch to him. I reckon thats what made him SAME REASON AS michael the mercenary owen was sent of mu v liverpool 1all draw.he was going through and was rightly sent off. Im glad he scored equalised first before he left the pitch. We dont know the half of it.
May I ask how old u are?..The game back then was physical and hard,but it was played by men,who were committed to the cause.. Unlike today's phony,corporate, expensive BS..
It wasn't rare back then. And he wasn't the worst by a long shot. Leeds are just an easy target for this kind of thing and always have been since Clough coined the phrase
It's when football was football every team in All 4 Top divisions then had hard men it's when football was at its best No Faffing about them days All Leeds aren't we 🇮🇨🦚✊👊
Always REM LIKE IT OR NOT. TWICE YES TWICE KEVIN KEEGAN WAS RIGHTLY EUROPEAN FOOTBALLER OF YEAR. STICK THAT TO THE DOWNERS OF KEEGAN. IM NOT SAYING HE DID OR DIDNT DESERVE IT. BUT UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULDVE DESERVED WHAT KEEGAN GOT. 😂😂😂😂.IT MAY HELP YOUR JUDGING.!!!!
Johnny giles would have been showen red card with VAR right so too liverpool manchester united or city wouldnt up with that sort dirty players thats why leeds are not well like im am a liverpool fan and im glad my home town of leicester given leeds a good hiding on their own patch 4-1
Cheap shot ........if it was Sunday league football, Giles would have got flattened! These players can always be hard when they know there’s a referee to step in and stop it!
Sunday league has refs unfortunately they get beat up by people who think there big and hard . Johnny Giles could look after his self . Trouble is today No respect for Refs at any level. In football you need a ref .
