Leeds United v Southampton 25/11/78 - The Big Match

[@bunterx]

gosh I want one of those leeds shirts - I had the away strip in yellow back in 78 when I was at school - I used to parade up and down in it showing off! Leeds had the most stylish kits in the 70s.

I was at this truly memorable game. Tony Currie was just the best player I have ever seen play the game. Arthur Graham was brilliant as well.

[@grizcuz]

So was I, I was 8 and spent probably the next two years attempting to score a goal like Tony Currie's in every kick about and school game I played in. Never could get the ball to bend like he did, though.

Currie's shooting and passing with the outside of his foot: special! Good saves from David Harvey as well. Saints goalkeeper Terry Gennoe started out as a youngster at Leeds.

Just amazing that Tony Currie never got more England caps than he did. Sheffield United,Leeds United and QPR...what a career.

My son said to me , Dad was Tony Currie a good player,I replied no son he was a great player. And I do not support Leeds far from it but I know a great player when I see one.

Brilliant banana shot for Currie's goal. And a nice own Golac by Ivan!

[@firetack]

watching from the kop the banana on Curries goal seemed much more than the footage,great to see a Madeley goal!

[@cooperman1975]

Carlton Palmer won more England caps than Tony Currie. There, in a nutshell, is why our national side never win anything.

[@ELLANDRD1966]

There's a popular football video of the Marsh & Best period at Fulham, which lasted for a few matches. Well, bollox to that - we got to see Tony Currie and Eddie Gray in the same team for a couple of years. We won fuck all during this period, but you turned up to watch 90 minutes in those days rather than one of a series of 42 matches. This video explains why this shirt is still the best selling retro shirt at Elland Road. MOT.

[@esdee11]

Ray hankin recently said that Tonie Currie would be worth a hundred million today

[@geekpie100]

with digital technology it must be possible to revisit old footage and calculate the most curling shot of all time: this would surely be not far off.

[@ryanrobinson3900]

I know that Southampton are hardly the best of away fans but bloody hell! there must only be 200 away fans there.

[@winsfordtown]

Could Martin Tyler be more sarcastic about Paul Madeley's goal coming for Leeds United on Boxing Day 1975. Well I was at Maine Road that day and Paul Madeley leaped above everybody to head in the winner for Leeds at City.

[@IBR-et7sd]

watching that jimmy adamson team was like was like sticking pins in your eyes

[@banner4141]

my first ever game

[@michel75m64]

Why that scorline wasn't this one few month ago in thé semi league cup.

[@paulledger3172]

It should have been 5-0. Check out Hawley's header at 4.15. Clearly over the line

[@Coultermark23]

Oh my word Gray to currie

[@jameshenrycurrie]

i now no one will beliv me but tony currie is my uncel

[@jamescrowther1234]

good ol' martin tyler :)

[@mikewest1542]

Great football Leeds but where are the Fans ?

[@scoopermanu]

could not agree more. I mean Peter Crouch a England centre forward ,come on could not tie Lineker,Hurst, Channon,McDonald,Chivers Shearer's laces.

[@73reider]

the crowds flocking to see leeds play...not

[@wingtaylor141]

...but everyone´s sooo glad that you tuned in to watch it.

[@dolph57]

Must have been a poor quality season if that won goal of the season!
