Leeds United Destroy Manchester United 1972

[@johnc8770]

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. I can recall some great times down at Elland Road and ' My Boys' certainly ensured that this day was one of them cheers Lads , RIP Billy, our greatest ever player.

Bad day at the office for my team, but still great to watch - this was a golden era for English football. Great Leeds, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Wolves, Everton, City and United (well until about 1970 anyway) teams, nearly every year there was a different First Division champion, and regular success in Europe too. 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 .

Literally jumpers for goalposts, graduating to rugby posts, eventually proper goals on a proper pitch.
