Leeds United Destroy Manchester United 1972

Oh happy days. Brings tears to my eyes. I was 15 back then and was in my usual spot behind the goal where all our goals went in. Leeds have been in my blood since September 66 when aged 9 my Dad took me to see us beat Sunderland 2-1.

Proper man's game in those days.

@@EvoGoody Bollox they were hard as nails not like today's pansy asses .Look at that skill on a terrible pitch , today's players play on billiard tables in comparison and wouldn't last five minutes in those conditions . You mention fitness well back then they had small squads and weren't allowed all the subs they have now and players were hardly ever injured despite it been full contact unlike nowadays where they fall over in a fucking breeze .Yes the game has moved on but not for the better not by a long way .By the way Lorrimars shot was measured at 90 + mph with a ball twice as heavy as the beach balls they use nowadays .

Paul Madeley, I would say

[@colinbrown7310]

That was a magnificent Leeds side but I’m always left wondering if Mick Jones ever scored a clean goal!

[@lennylaa1686]

Was George Best still on holiday?

Donald George Revie, OBE (Middlesbrough, 10 de julio de 1927 - Edimburgo, 26 de mayo de 1989), más conocido por Don Revie, fue un futbolista y entrenador inglés.

Great to see it live I had a season ticket in West Stand, then!

When football was real, players played for the jersey and the fans on the terraces were working class. Simple but better days in so many ways.

[@lysimachoszarifis]

LEEDS UNITED FOR EVER!!!! I'm a big fan of them i hope i can see them in the premier league again

[@teehee1604]

Eddie Gray was a far better player than George Best in his prime. If it weren't for injuries, and the fact that he played for "dirty Leeds", he would be regarded as one of Britain's greatest ever players.

[@samjones9974]

Eddie gray better than best.lay of the crack

[@johnmuir6440]

+teehee1604 are you mental?

[@oshawaxpress]

+teehee1604 - Eddie Gray was a wonderful player, definitely as good as Best but he made the mistake of turning up for training, not dating Miss World and stumbling drunkenly out of night clubs and playing on the wrong side of the Pennines. And yes, he suffered from recurrent injuries.

I was blessed to be a teenager in those days when football wasn't dominated by the team with the biggest cheque book. Ok they signed sniffer Clark for a then record £166,000 but the bulk of the team were brought in just out of school. As a young Scottish Leeds fan I never got the chance to see them at Elland Rd but I was very fortunate to see the many great Scottish Leeds players at Hampden in a Scottish jersey. It's a shame Eddie Gray missed out on many Scottish caps through injury, he was a special talent. Thanks for the memories, Eddie and Frank Gray, Billy Bremner who played 773 times mostly as captain, Peter Lorimer, David Harvey, Joe Jordan, Gordon McQueen, Duncan Mackenzie. Those days are gone, it's all about money, no more loyalty playing for the jersey. Sadly, I've no time for football now, maybe gets played on better surfaces by fitter players who's diet is better, but 69% are not even British getting paid more in a week than the PM gets in a year. Just pathetic. 😢😢

I was a spurs fan then and followed them all over the country. However, never told my fellow spurs fans but i loved watching leeds. Best football ive ever seen. Superb football team

[@cicero2]

We are back in Premier League once again. Look out! Bielsa means business.

[@cerneuffington2656]

@5:05, This is not often shown, and is more remarkable than the Southampton performance, Two weeks later ♥

[@geoffharris9396]

This marked the beginning of the end for the great Man.Utd sixties team. Ageing Bobby Charlton and a creaking defence. They also suffered hammerings from a young Ipswich and Crystal Palace teams 4-0 and 5-0. Best new the game was up and soon realised his time was better spent on a bar stool. The club had failed to invest and were soon relegated a few years later.

[@Seansaighdeoir]

Most interesting thing is how poor George Best was - lost the ball without even trying for the 4th goal. Largely irrelevant. Perhaps an indicator of how is lifestyle did impact his game..?

[@dickturpin4786]

I was at that match in the Geldered End, I think I'm right in saying Leeds had beaten Southampton 7-0 a week or so earlier at Elland Road. I remember them flicking the ball from one player to the next for a 5 minute spell and the Saints never touched the ball once.

[@sabotagetimes]

No Bobby, No Dickie, Football isn't the winner, Leeds United are the winners. Great clip.
