As a Forest fan, I'm loving these videos of Leeds through the ages. Proper club, proper fans and some genuine legends of the game.

[@keithburnett-i7f]

God Bless Cloughie! LUFC👍

[@user-kn8un4ru8p]

I am not a Leeds fan, but I have found this to be absolutely brilliant. Every club should do this. Some fantastic memories. The music, from Slade to The Stranglers was the soundtrack to my youth. One thing that stood out, how badly we used to dress in the mid 70's!!! Keep up the good work........

[@yorkiegeoff1825]

Most of today’s passion comes from them supporters in the 70s , Dress sense was a laugh , but there was never a dull moment ! and yer bang on with Slade to The Stranglers 👍 RIP Dave Greenfield !

[@smac4749]

That was some right hook from McQueen and no-one could accuse Harvey of having a glass jaw - he just soaked it up and glared back! Another cracking vid, already looking forward to the next one 👍

[@zilet7844]

Brilliant! Greetings from Uruguay a country that I found we share a lot of football culture with Leeds!

[@yorkiegeoff1825]

Was at the front of the kop people were getting crushed , the police were helping fans over the wall, me and my mate ended up behind the goal, never a dull moment in them days ! 😊

[@johngrves3156]

Wat a brilliant day that was , never to be seen again ...on and off the pitch ! The Gelderd End was a site to Behold !

[@tonymack66]

This series of films are a really good social document of the times. Fascinating stuff from way back when.

[@ga-ow7yf]

Wish we had Tony Currie today. What a player.

[@mickfoskett6629]

im a united fan but watching this game reminds me how real players played football then not like the snowflakes you get now who go down if yo blow at them👹

[@tndtunltd1466]

Brilliant piece of football history. MOT

[@Rob-cj9jn]

Love this. When football was played by real men. Would have been red cards galore today. Was to young to go to the game but remember listening to it on the radio. Shows you how fans were treated back then when u see a fan being dragged off, who has obviously been crushed in the crowd. Gutted when Jordan left, was never replaced. MOT

[@troublegum65]

Absolutely brilliant series - these are utterly superb.

[@scherben8870]

Agree 100%. It's irrelevant I support Man United. These are class compilations.

[@SuperForest78]

Always await each one eagerly never disappointed - I remember the city game on motd as a small boy

[@wakeywakefield4785]

Love this series. My old man went from 65 onwards as a 8 year old n my first game was In 88 when I was 8. Looking forward to the rest of the series

[@stationers]

Another excellent film.

[@discepted9569]

I love these. More, please 😫😍

[@chrismaher7582]

Fascinating as always 😊👍

[@pwareham61]

Can you imagine these tackles in today's matches, it would be 6 a side, seriously though this is great series and I've really enjoyed it, and a great soundtrack too.

[@danpreston564]

Of course, just after having to allow fans on to the pitch because of a crush the next obvious course of action is to fence them in. That’ll help.

[@posner89]

Brilliant again!

[@ScottjDouglas]

Ronald Gregory ordered that only those with Geordie accents were to be detained:-)

[@johncambridge7339]

Great to see leeds back in the Premier league

[@paulmcdonough1093]

thought the ref was about to sing on kareoke there

[@andymason5715]

fantastic series of films, brings back memories... did Barry Davies refer to the "english disease"

[@leedstown]

We were a seeing club then and still are

[@julesakers3051]

Fencing the fans in. Yes, that worked out just perfectly didn't it?

[@13570neil]

If David Elleray had reffed it, it would been at least 1/2 a dozen red cards. When football was football

[@ianbennett1491]

Was at that match.proper players and tackling was allowed.

[@davethehat5016]

Fax machine in 1978? I don't recall them coming into common use until the early 1980s

[@GetBenched2010]

That referee was badass.

[@errcoche]

Looking at the "action" from that City game it looked like the referee "abandoned" the match from the kick off. It should have been down to five-a-side by the time the pitch invasion happened.

[@13muller9]

The ref looks like Berti Vogtes of W. Germany when he is talking to the crowd!!

[@arnofthenorth.7154]

I was in the kop , left side at the back good times still think Jordan and mcqueen are two cheeks of the same arse.

[@scherben8870]

06:42 Worst stand up ever. What a mental match.

[@birdandthe]

must have been 15 red card tackles

[@staceygrove5976]

10:01 Gordon MCQueen had luscious lips, did he not?

[@garymay799]

Arms of north u mean pair of bummers .

[@SuperForest78]

Jordan was a decent player but his career goal stats are unimpressive ,a goal every 4.5 games or so

[@gary1961]

Watch the City match again and take a shot of vodka for every foul you see. You'll be fucking legless by the end of the video!!!

[@charliebuttocks2400]

Dirty city
