P.S. You should have a lot more subscribers! Where are all of the Leeds fans? This our history! Great job. Many thanks.

Boys Pen. 1979. Takes me back... (Wistful look and tear in eye!)

Tony Currie was sheer class

[@davidward1621]

Love these old vids ,back when football was genuine and affordable!!its such a shame our kids will never see this !

[@irvinepanda]

I've really enjoyed all these films despite not being a Leeds supporter. The amount of effort that has gone in to make them must be staggering with a very appropriate soundtrack. Consider money donated already to the Leeds Childrens Charity. From a Killie fan.

[@irvinepanda]

Money donated now :-) Looking forward to next episode.

[@IndustrialbulkcontainersUk]

Just amazing. Been watching these over and over again. The attention to detail, the passion, the music, the desire. It blows me away. I am a 52 year old young at heart business man looking after 25 people. We are the only ones left in this country making what we do. It's like Leeds. They all hate us. but all our competitors buy off us. They all admire us and are jealous of what we have. MOT. ffs let's get's get up this year....

[@damienabbott9805]

A classic case of what might have been, but I am sure Jock would have turned things round for Leeds had he have stayed. Pre-Leeds he won 25 major trophies for Celtic including the 1967 European Cup. Post-Leeds he helped Scotland achieve two successive World Cup qualifications. Unfortunately for Leeds, this wasn’t the first time a great manager would answer to the calling of his country.

[@TheLeeb1972]

I can remember when Stein was appointed manager at Leeds and being a Liverpool fan thinking great stuff we were going to have Liverpool - Leeds going head to head once more for the top trophies. About time Leeds were back in the Premiership .

[@69HESH]

Yet another fantastic trip down memory lane, please keep them coming, they are brilliant.

[@stationers]

This just gets better and better. Quality work. Looking back you have to have sympathy for Jimmy Armfield. He took his time dismantling the best team in Britain....unfortunately there were a board of directors who didn't appreciate what Don Revie had done let alone Jimmy Armfield.

[@castleblack1712]

Enjoyable watch and sets the standard. Look forward to the next episode.

[@2511dhall]

Jim did fix the mess after The Damned United.

[@2511dhall]

Jock had his Damned United but not the bitterness.

[@caeserromero3013]

Never realized just how small Bryan Flynn was. Looks like a ball boy invading the pitch :)

[@mick6370]

This as been a great series front of the Gelderd End in them days scarf round neck and one round each wrist and jean jacket with sew on patches MOT Forever.

[@mrnobody4237]

Absolute quality mate. Many thanks for taking the time to put them all together, when you're finished you'll have created one of, if not THE best compilation of LUFC videos ever made (and in your own time too ffs) MOT

[@mikem10481]

That goal by Brady. What a genius he was.

[@gufrias7192]

Good news: Notification of new Wilderness Years episode Bad News: Now I've seen it, and have to wait for the next. Good News: Still almost 10 years of history before the series ends. Now that's a lot of quality videos.

"Jock was the greatest manager in the history of football" Alex Ferguson

[@danpreston564]

Always amazes me in this era that you had tackles flying in all over the place and being ignored, but refs gave penalties for invisible fouls.

[@philharrison9893]

These videos are fantastic. This is my era - the period during which I became a Leeds fan. The 2-0 win over Chelsea in the vid before this was my first game. Thanks so much for putting them together.

[@antrog1895]

‘JOCK STEIN JOCK STEIN’ bloke behind me was singing JOCK STRAP JOCK STRAP’ 😀😀😀

[@ElliosoMukka]

These are amazing by the way! Honestly, the music and everything is great - keep up the good work! There isn’t loads of stuff available about Leeds after the European cup final... up until about 1990 when I started going. That’s perhaps because we were shite for a lot of it/limited TV coverage etc - so it’s good to fill in the blanks.

[@caeserromero3013]

4:25 THAT is why Bob Paisley once ended a team talk with: "Watch out for that Tony Currie. He likes to fling a far flung one," :)

[@garycoutts3919]

Not a Leeds fan,but these videos are top class. Roll on the next one

[@adonisstorr]

You are doing Gods work

[@SuperForest78]

Always great -every time

[@zandralapoi9203]

Bloody love these, thank you xx

[@converse91970]

I am not Leeds fan but like others enjoy your films very much. How the course of history for Leeds United in the 80s could have been positively different perhaps if they had managed to keep hold of Jock Stein!

[@ianbentley7276]

brilliantly put together, thanks, great watch.

[@EvoGoody]

Jimmy Armfield did OK. They were always well placed in the league.

[@steelyman08]

I remember being shocked when he was fired. But nothing's very shocking these days. I think we've covered it all by now!

[@yorkshirebloke7212]

So were are all us, Gelderd Enders these days?

[@mdnadams]

Great stuff once again - thanks for these films

[@steelyman08]

Leeds United must have a record when it comes to short-lived managers? We've got 2 at 44 days, and I think there was another with less than that! We must also have a record for the number of managers in a certain number of years. We've had 24 in the EPL alone! I'll always love Leeds United but, my god, we have been making crazy headlines since Don Revie left! There's more coverage about what goes on off the pitch! I can't wait for this crazy exodus of players & Gnonto's neverending story to be over. It will be so nice to move forwards once again (dare I dream of such a thing?). MOT!

[@smac4749]

Another excellent video. And more nails in the coffin of Stein’s reputation. A liar to Leeds and to the public, and his record at Celtic regarding what he knew and when about the monster Torbett’s sick activities is another huge stain on his character. Although he is far from alone at that den of iniquity; Torbett, King, Cairney, Cullen have been convicted so far and no doubt there is more to come. An independent inquiry is essential to get justice for the victims.

[@alanbrown1545]

What a vile person you are

[@09weenic]

Alan Brown what are you on about - he is only telling the truth

[@smac4749]

Alan Brown You DON’T want justice for the victims of those abused by the paedophile ring at Celtic?? Or do you take issue with what I’ve said about Stein, despite EVERYTHING I said being in the public domain and able to be fact-checked? Your comment makes no sense unless you have sympathy for the abusers or those who harboured and covered up for them.

[@shauntaylor6040]

Hart was no replacement for McQueen and Hawley not for Jordan, and so a team begins to decline.

[@robertwilloughby8050]

Agreed on Hart, he was just a dirty bugger, but Hawley did bang in a few. Perhaps needed a longer run, did JH.

[@ga-ow7yf]

@@robertwilloughby8050 Paul Hart was a solid centre half . John Hawley mediocre.

[@09weenic]

Surely the club not getting Stein to sign a contract was the biggest mistake here

[@ga-ow7yf]

Tony Currie ' Walked on Water'.

[@steelyman08]

He certainly did! I was around for that. Shame it wasn't longer.

Players don’t like proper managers, bit thick some players.

I thought Clough & Stein were tied at 44?

[@andisadler2897]

@@steelyman08 yes you might be right. Still a joke however for mighty leeds.

[@steelyman08]

@@andisadler2897 Too right. And I'll be glad when these bad jokes come to an end. The headlines about Leeds in recent times make your head spin! Can't wait until they're about something positive that's actually happening on the pitch 🙄

[@andisadler2897]

@@steelyman08 Thats because their labelled as dirty leeds back then. Revies bribes etc not good for the game, if your team is supposed to be good enough then why bribe? The joke team at present is Chelsea! Billions spent and nothing to show for it as yet. Madness.

[@grahamhavercroft4203]

Paul hart was a liability Own goals and defensive mistakes in abundance!!

[@LeeRoggy]

So Stein lasted ONE MORE DAY than Clough did? No wonder these were the Wilderness Years . . .

[@normanby100]

Jock can't have been that good a manager. He picked Alan Rough for Scotland. I sometimes think Rough had incriminating photos of the Scottish FA in women's underwear.
