Norman Hunter VS Francis Lee, They Both Just Admitted...

#normanhunter #francislee #footballicon #footballlegends
It was supposed to be a match, but it turned into a war zone. The Norman Hunter vs. Francis Lee fight is a football legend that's as shocking as it is entertaining. There was drama, there was action, and definitely some serious consequences. Let’s live this fight once again!
Today, we quite literally present to you a boxing ring with two of the most successful players in football history, I know it sounds odd but trust the process.
Player 1 is Norman Hunter, born on October 29, 1943. This man was a real force on the football field. He's best known for his time with Leeds United, where he really left his mark. He wasn't just tough; he was also skilled, scoring 21 goals as a center-back and defensive midfielder.

[@chrisburton8079]

Both hard men on the pitch, but make no mistake . They were great footballers, too. And also nice guys off the pitch. We will not see there like again unfortunately

[@coniferclose]

Norman hunter, legend, hard man, skilled footballer, under rated, top man and that’s from an old school Millwall fan.

[@clivebennett7985]

Leeds fan here. Well said mate. I'm old school too

[@hni7458]

Underrated??? WTF; we lads loved Norman AND Franny, and this was in the middle of nowhere in fuckin Scandinavia!

[@georgemacpherson1992]

Back when footballers entertained the crowd and play to earn their money. Which is the total opposite of today

[@beardyoldman8306]

Norman bites your legs Hunter! A Leeds United legend!

[@shauncorless8965]

Franny invented diving for penalties ,,,😮

[@steve-r-collier]

yeah but leeds invented cheating

[@DOCTORDROTT]

Norman Hunter was the nicest footballer I have ever met . We had a chat at Elland road when my son was a mascot in 1997. Loved Revies Leeds. Players from those days were entertaining

[@haydoncooper3744]

Norman Hunter a great footballer and man.

[@clivebennett7985]

I used to go in a pub in Horsforth, in Leeds . Norman went in there . One evening I was in with friends and I was blocking the way out. Suddenly someone kicked me hard on the leg. I looked round to see Norman grinning at me. Isaid you just kicked me Norman. He said I know I always kick people who get in my way!!. Priceless. A great guy!

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

Two Great Players! For club and country RIP ! This video is surely a celebration of that? dx

[@peteblanchard5696]

Two great old pros but the ill feeling that led to the fight started cos Lee took a dive for the Derby pen. Hunter never touched him. RIP both.

[@roywatson8133]

i can understand why norman lost is rag lee dived

[@robspence8091]

I was there what you saunas totally true

[@peterleeson1750]

Norman was my hero i totally sided with him at the time, with hindsight he shouldn't have given Lee a right hook, despite tempers being high.I always remember Gary Sprake taking Bobby Gould out at Highbury, the provocation?Gould nearly took Gary's unmentionables off in a challenge in the Leeds box ..........they were both just booked!

[@patrickmosley5085]

A wonderful footballer and a nice man. ..what more could you add to a person of a Sporting life?

[@danielbanks9589]

It started because Lee clipped his own heels and went down for a penalty, something he was known to do. I don't think Hunter was banned as a result, but Lee was.

[@edwardshirley9314]

Yes. Lee 1(pen) and he dived for most of them.

[@topcat4759]

As a Rams fan an event that is always remembered by the older generation. Perhaps mostly known for his City exploits but certainly did his bit for us. Times when the game was more about players commitment than their pay packets and flash cars. Would have mean't at least 10 match bans these days and make Cantona's ban in the mid '90' s after his exploits against Palace look like a tea party. Franny showed true respect when Norman passed away. Both great players no doubt.

[@hughtempleton737]

Thank you so much for this

[@Darwinion]

This is all bollocks. Hunter didn't get banned at all. Got off scot free. Lee was banned. And it doesn't mention the Lee dive for the penalty that sparked it all, which is what sparked Hunter's wrath.

[@steve-r-collier]

and Leeds never cheat? biggest cheats in football

[@nigelcrawshaw6132]

Francis Lee the best diver around

[@joekavanagh7171]

Lee was the flop of the World Cup in 1970. The only thing he is remembered for is kicking the Brazilian goalkeeper Felix on the head as he held the ball on the ground.

[@steve-r-collier]

i was there..bloody brilliant!

[@Rocky19577]

They admitted to what ?... what was it all about ?

[@user-tl2qn1qi1g]

Lee was a diver.

[@Onthemove6801]

Not the only sporting rivals who ended up having the utmost respect for one another. In the '50s Ingemar Johannson and Floyd Patterson knocked hell out of one another in the boxing ring in which each floored and defeated one another. After retirement they became great friends, even flying the Atlantic to share one another's company and run marathons together. Sadly, they both succumbed to the punishment they suffered in the ring, both dying with Alzheimer's Disease.

[@colinreed4484]

Thug!!

[@andymason5715]

Hunter didn't get suspended. Lee was found guilty and to have started the fight and he got the six match ban.

[@joaquimioakim229]

It’s common in American Ice Hockey 😂

[@Dibbdroid]

Francis Lee "1 Pen" (Lee Won Pen)

[@geoffpoole483]

It's arguable that Hunter's defensive cock-up in the game against Poland at Wembley in 1973 cost England a place in the finals. Unsurprisingly things were chaotic on the pitch when Lee and Hunter were fighting; it wasn't clear that both players had been sent off because referees didn't have red/yellow cards back then. Derby and Leeds had some great sides back then; Derby won the league title twice in five years, the first with Brian Clough as manager. He subsequently went to Leeds, which didn't work out well.

[@AmrikSingh-tw9mq]

Unfair to blame Norman Hunter for that goal by Poland v England. It was Ramseys tactics more so. I am not a Leeds fan either.

[@kevincrinks]

It was the inability of he England team to score a goal that cost England. So much possession, so many shots on goal.

[@skintslots]

Man City fans treated Lee like shite when he was Chairman. Hypocritical stuff.

[@mm2280]

You sound Like a Thick , Bitter stretford united fan

[@Legen_predator4]

🤣It was a bargain, fans paid once to watch two sports

[@markauckland666]

you missed 1 important detail, they were roommates for England so there is a thought there was a little pent up frustration with each other

[@rogerdecoursey8341]

Bummers

[@peterdowney1492]

Lee won pen didn't refer to his scoring but his alleged diving to get them.

[@rogerdecoursey8341]

How would it be won pen then you sausage

[@user-bi3ww3im3s]

The reason Norman whacked Franny Lee was because he conned the ref going down for a pen that p--sed Norman off R.I.P to both legendary footballers M.O.T 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙🫶🤝🙏

[@robertmcgivern6585]

He scored the most pens cos he got the most pens cos he done the most dives.

[@gazza1858]

Ok dyslexic 🤡

[@fungiformenow]

Done ‘e?

[@Mrdorf14]

True. I didn’t start watching football until the late 80s but I really love 70s football and Franny Lee dived a lot. 😂

[@mickgreen5334]

What a childish statement

[@broceliandeforest7420]

There's always a hater. Sad.

[@user-sw2ob4iw1m]

2:38 at today's prices, how much would this front three cost?

[@russ8544]

This was the days of proper football, not like today's Namby pamby's, in those days, tackling above the neck was acceptable (almost). The footballing snowflakes of these days would not survive the first 10 mins of any game.

[@randybackgammon890]

And vice versa because the old school would get sent off.But actually I think soccer players are sneakier now.They can't tackle from behind but they can and do go for the ball with their studs up(which is why you don't see good honest thumping 50/50s anymore)and frequently rake ankles. Chopper Harris said a lot of them would be lucky to get out the car park if they'd played the game that way in his day.Though Lee was something of a pioneer in this respect going down to win free kicks was not a significant part of the game in those days.And as an old git I know what I'm talking about

[@michaelbailey8729]

Big Jack. Lol.

[@paulbowden1905]

Yet another meaningless rehash of old news . . . 2 great pros playing in an era where ‘anything goes’ which went over the top . . . So what? . . . They both got sent off, end of.

[@user-qy2yw5ed3d]

Franny Lee was an awful diver in both respects of the term.

[@williamwallace5857]

No footage at all. Utter rubbish.

[@joekavanagh7171]

Probably some kind of copyright rubbish

[@Krankyoldtime64]

That huge banner Leeds supporters lugged everywhere "Norman Bites Yer Legs"...quality, and you won't see anything like it these days ⚒

[@martinr6298]

as an Elland Road regular in the early 70s the rough and tumble would always good to watch. There was always lots of niggle in games, and this was normal.. However as mentioned by others, Lee was a bit of an acrobat and had a history of diving more extensive than Jacques Cousteau and he had taken a tumble in this game. And this "cheating" was not liked by other players hence Norman getting his retribution in early. Loved Norm. He had a long spell of being the expert on the Radio Leeds live commentaries and showed his football knowledge and wit

[@user-ih8fn1uz6y]

Slapnut

[@johnhughes4292]

Franny Lee was a legend hunter was a thug well done franny

[@sallysloman1742]

Franny Lee was a diver. Embarrassing.

[@IanDavies-wy1uu]

Norman Hunter was a Leeds legend. Francis lee was renown for diving sorry cheating. MOT

[@lanzarotewhites]

All these comments are ridiculous. They were both thugs on that day as they both lost control. They were also both Internationals and will be remembered fondly at the clubs they played for as they obviously also had a lot of talent.

[@eamoneejit]

They both just admitted… nothing! Because they’ve been dead for years. Useless, clickbait video with boring AI voiceover.

[@summerstony66]

I was at that game Lee was a cheat

[@thebishop.9944]

Both great players.

[@mikevolante7663]

Franny would have given Daly Thompson a run for his money.
