@@PrehistoricPro The Wilkinson team is definitely on my list. The O'Leary team I've done before on a previous channel (ruclips.net/video/eSgdwbLnn7Y/видео.html&ab_channel=WhatIfFootball)
I'm at the age of 76 to remember most of this, the only regret that I have is input that Alert Johannsson had in the Leeds Utd growth. The Black Flash as he was affectionately known played a very significant role in the development of Leeds. As I remember, when the the ball was passed to Albert the crowd cheered him on. He dazzled the full backs, He took cheeky penalties, he was an absolute genius to watch. At the time, it was because of him that Leeds scored the fastest goal of 11 seconds. Leeds played Swansea at home in 1962. Big Jack played Centre forward that day with Freddie Goodwin playing Centre Half. Bremner was inside left and Leeds had the Kick off facing the Cop. Mel Charles was the Centre half for Swansea. At Kick off, Charlton passed the ball to Bremner, who passed it to Albert on the left wing. As he danced down the left wing showing his magic, making the Swansea defenders looking like armatures, he crossed the ball, Where Big Jack out jumped Mel Charles to score Leeds fastest goal at the time. Having said that the most important message of this video is Bobby Collins he is the reason that I met my wife. Because Man Utd were playing Belgrade in the European cup, the TV in the UK covered the match as a preview. The TV program showed a young girl eating her sandwiches on the terrace of Old Trafford, If yo said to me, there is your future wife , I would have knocked you in the head. A month later Leeds played Man Utd at Old Trafford, I was there because it was Bobby Collins return to football after his injury, stood next to me was the girl in the previous sandwich situation, we chatted without realizing the significant of the the moment. For some reason, she wanted me to be in her life forever, We've been married now for 56 years all because of Bobby Collins
A great side. Unfortunately twitter fans today would downplay them because they won two titles and no European cups. What Leeds did under Revie is amazing. A great achievement
To look at what Revie achieved at Leeds you have to look at the 10 years from 64 to 74. 4 FA Cup Finals, only won 1 though.Got to at least the semifinals of the Cup 6 times in that period. Never out of the top 4 in the league, Champions twice. 2 Fairs Cups and lost in the final of another. 1 League Cup. ECWC final...proven to be fixed. 1 European Cup final...suspected to have been fixed. They were disliked by the London press who gave them the Dirty Leeds tag after the football authorities took it to examine clubs' disciplinary record yet only single out Leeds. They were no dirtier than any other club at that time. I saw that side described as 'nothing special' on Facebook the other day. Laughable! Shankly and Busby were full of praise as were a lot of the managers of those times...apart from Clough, the man who only managed to beat Revie's Leeds twice in 12 attempts.
@@carlmyers5278 Leeds fan all my life (since the Chelsea FA cup final) and that's an excellent summary. It's absurd that Leeds got the 'dirty' tag when Liverpool had Tommy Smith - a mouth breathing, pig ignorant, violent and racist scumbag playing for them and kicking and punching his way to success. The FA and London media went out of their way to do Leeds down. I think they hated Revie's professionalism and commitment to winning. People wonder why England never won anything at international level. Simple, the people who run football in this country are suspicious of talent, innovation and anyone with ideas beyond their scope. As for Twitter fans, who gives a toss about those mouth-breathers?
One of the greatest teams ever Revies Leeds , broke all records in 73/74, most points which had stood for about 50 years , least losses most consecutive wins , when he let them of the leash they were special esp the midfield led by Bremner n Giles, Lorimer Gray , Jimmy Greaves n Trevor Francis both said the best team they’ve ever played against
They didn’t pay £135,000 on Jim Storrie…more like £15,000. Love the video. Can’t we see the matches, looks much better quality than I have seen before.
Dirty tactics or not, Don Revie had a significant impact on Leeds United. Introducing fitness plans, bringing cohesiveness and keeping the players united the way Revie did is massive
I believe the data indicates Don Revie is the most consistently succesful manager in the history of English Football. Leeds United had never finished top 4 before he became manager and never made a cup semi final. In his 10 seasons as a Manager of a first division club he finished top 4 every season and took the club to 10 cup finals. All this in a hugely competitive era with many different clubxls challenging for honors every season. It this respect his level of consistency for such a long period of time is peerless.
Don Revie was a manager way head of his time never gets the recognition he deserves you have Shanks,Matt Busby and Clough The DON is up there with best he was a visionary he knew as the years moved on corporate box's would be the norm Leeds United of the 1960s early 70s is ONE of the best footballing side's in Europe if not the world 🌎. Leeds robbed so many times of bent officials in the UK and Europe robbed of the Cup 🏆 winner's cup and the biggest price the European Cup 🏆 even the B/Munich players said Leeds should've of been rightful winners FFS 😮 thanks gentlemen keep fighting marching on together we all love Leeds 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙
I make the same mistake with Chester & Chesterfield, I know one of them isn't right.lol,peter stories was out on price £15,000.my records show.if you didn't do the castlefield blunder who did.i don't think cooper was listed from Castleford I'm sure it was another westyorkshire town, have you been using artificial intelligence by any chance.albert 2 black who played for leeds?.good work great details just get facts right.theres no anomalies on my pitch,on old photos Mike bates looked the spit of Peter lorimer, cooper turned up with boots in a brown paper bag & asked for a trial..
The rest of Don Revie's time to come in tomorrow's video. What other Leeds stories from the past should we make a video on?
Howard Wilkinson's 1991/92 team & the David O'Leary era.
@@PrehistoricPro The Wilkinson team is definitely on my list. The O'Leary team I've done before on a previous channel (ruclips.net/video/eSgdwbLnn7Y/видео.html&ab_channel=WhatIfFootball)
Howard Kendall's Everton.
Dirty corrupt team led by a dirty corrupt "Manager".

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing and bless you both x

We won the Fairs Inter Cities Cup/ Europe League

Brilliant documentary. O was too young to know this. But throughly enjoying it so far. Will share. Superb seried
Absolutely baffling to me how this channel doesn't have 10k+ subscribers. Every video is so well written & presented.
thanks mate
Breaks my heart everytime i see Dons statue over the road on the industrial estate

Unfortunately Leeds' downfall has been it's Directors! Fan's & Player's SECOND TO NONE!!!
Blimey, another one. I know what Peter Schmeichel would call you, but I can't print that here.
Thank you
Revie was only 17 when WW2 ended so his career wasnt really stalled by the conflict
Harvey, Eddie gray, Andy Gray,bremner, McQueen , Hartford,Lorimer, Jordan. All Scottish isn't english football the best?
When Man City won the CL last year there were only two Englishmen. Still counts as an English team. Your point is moot.
Castlefield or Castleford?.
