The 1970s were a turbulent decade for United however they continued to play exciting attacking football Here are some of United's Best Goals of the 70s
Just magic times that's why thousands turned up to watch man united when they were in town . One things for sure whilst united went on to greater times . The Law, Best & Charlton days will be my favourite era of man united . It was a privilege to have seen them . And go anywhere in the world everybody new about them.
the way geroge best, cantona and Messi played football, they have a simplicity to it, and yet the opponents couldn't touch them. it just feels like they are operating on a different level than the rest of the world, which includes CR7 and his fancy dribbles.
Back when football was acreal mans sport. The tackle that these man experienced on an every match basis is why these are the true legends of Manchester United
[quote]One of the greatest ever atmospheres at OT was the incredible 2nd Division match v Sunderland in 1974, it was seriously heaving that day and anyone who's old enough to remember this game knows it has legendary status, 74/75 is one of my fave ever seasons.[/quote] Nov 1974. I was there in the Stretford End. 60,585 supporters watched the game. No 2nd Div or Championship side will ever get crowds like that.
I was at that game. Leaving the ground I was in a train carriage full of Sunderland supporters and they had enjoyed the game so much they were hugging the United fans and singing their praises. I have had a soft spot for Sunderland ever since.
I’m a Newcastle United fan but I have to say that this video shows exactly how good the Man Utd team was with Charlton, Best and Law in it back in the day. No diving about like the players of today, plus they played on mud bath pitches a lot of the time. No flat carpet like pitches like they have today and no lightweight footballs either, proper leather case ball which were heavy especially when they got wet. The skills they showed back then were as good as anything on show today and if George Best was playing today in his prime he would cost a small fortune to buy. RIP George Best, the greatest player ever produced by the UK.
Hats off for the relatively restrained goal celebrations; nowadays players seem to want to show off their birth certificate to prove their loyalty to their club! And hats off to Willie Morgan for his excellent impersonations of George Best!

I saw most of these goals at the time, I went everywhere watching United in those days. Great memories. I wonder what today's players would make of the state of some of the pitches??
Get real !! The 70s & 80s had so much violence due to terrible crowd control. In the 70s Utd were among the worst at away games. Reforms saved the game.
Started going in 75-6. This video's got so many goals i'd never seen before, ranging from rare Best strikes to George Graham netting at Newcastle! Weird to see Ted MacDougall scoring in a Utd shirt too. You're a Starman, Ziggy!
George Best You are a Fantastic Football player You are the Best George Best Good bye the Belfast boy World legend Maradona Cruyff Pele George Best is the Best
They were great in the mid 60s, by the early to mid 70s we were in decline and woeful . It was no surprise when we got relegated in ‘74. Then ‘’The Doc’ had a clear out and things improved.
The pitches were awful then. But the players were not. Nearly all were home grown, most coming through the ranks from the youth team, playing fluid attacking football. Both sides btw. DEFENDERS HARD AS NAILS. Conclusion? REAL MEN. REAL FOOTBALL.
@@thebeautifulgame442 Agreed and their standard has improved. However they don't deserve all this hype. Ian Wright calling someone Messi for example. It's actually disgraceful.
Grew up in the seventies and early eighties as a young lad in Manchester, used to love listening to Brian Moore, and getting the pink newspaper every week, and listening to the radio to get the football scores people from the UK would understand what I'm referring to I was a liverpool fan growing up and still am , the best ever liverpool team was in the seventies dominated not only in England but Europe brilliant times fantastic memories
George Best is a type of player that I believe we have only seen 3 other times in recent history. Pele, Maradonna and Messi. It's a shame that he was Irish (respect intended) as he didn't get to showcase his skills to the rest of the world. Fearless, strong, fast and with an embarrassing level of skill.
Its true ref to george best at international level many of the players were part time or from the 3rd and 4th Div as it was then Incredible player and some of them pitches oh my god
sorry but Pelé was a fake largely announced from year to year by great media organizations. He largely depended on Garrincha, to win his world cups. Maradona, the only world cup, was thanks to the referee mistake at Argentine vs England; Messi only plays at Barcelona and from some years and now, nor at Barcelona. Bergkamp, R. Baggio, Ronaldinho (psg and barcelona), Zidane, Giggs are all better
@@samuelaugustodasilva1815 'largely depneded on Garrincha to win his world cups?' Strange, as he didn't play in 1970, and Pele was magnificent as a 17 year old in '58. Imagine scoring two goals in a World Cup Final as a teenager and still be described as 'a fake'. Unbelievable. To say Giggs was better than Pele, Maradona and Messi is absolutely absurd. And to top it off, if you can't see Messi as being one of the best, if not the best, player of all time, then I am not sure what you have been watching, or what you value in football. Come to think of it, why did you mention Messi only plays for Barcelona, when one of your idols (Giggs) only played at Man U and that had no bearing on your 'argument'?
What a great time to be alive in the 70s attacking exciting football and great atmosphere , ok we won fuck all but I'm so lucky to have been in that ground all through them times , saw all of them players 😊
Pelé is largely remembered about two things: 3x world cup winner (in fact, We should only take 1958 and 1970 in account. Cause 1962 world cup, He pretended an injury just after the first Brazil's game), Brazil won 1962, largely thanks to Zagallo, Garrincha and Vavá. Thus Pelé should never consider 1962. The other miracle Pelé said He did, was 1000 or more goals. Here, only taking real matches, not friendly matches, Pelé has less goals than several other soccer players. Conclusion about Pelé: never scored 1000 goals and nor won 3x world cup, but two as many others. Now, Maradona... He played at: 1982 (did absolutely nothing), 1986 (even the English team largely showing great lack of skills as deffensive as offensive), even so, He Maradona needed the referee and his staff to "pretend" not seeying his handball goal. which at the end of that cup, granted 1st Argentine win. Now 1990, He Maradona, again granted Argentine team at the final, but this time Argentine lose against Deutsche team. 1994, Maradona was caught at anti doping exam and banned out of the cup. Conclusion about Maradona: zero times champion at Taça Libertadores das Americas or Europa UEFA champions league, few times champion at Calcio Italia Serie A league, addicted by cocaine, only won one world cup and largely thanks to one 'mistake' of the referee. I don't think so fifa world cup was a parameter to take in account, but if so.. Garrincha, Vavá, Zidane and many others, are far better than Maradona. Roberto Baggio, after debut was playing better than Maradona at Calcio and playing for Fiorentina. So, I assure, Giggs, Romario, Bergkamp, Best, Zidane, R. Baggio, Edmundo, Ronaldinho (barcelona and psg) were all better than Maradona. Giggs played very well from the debut at 91/92 till his retirement at 2012/2013.. He is for sure the best all time left winger, as is Garrincha the best all time right winger. Giggs performed all Maradona skills, even better and against more skilled and aggressive opponents than did Maradona.
@@samuelaugustodasilva1815 you know Your Football.I respect that.I live In the United States and Here it's basically a Sport for your Kids.Honestly As a Brazilian Arent Argentinians your Enemy....I mean Maradona carried every team hes played on...Has anyone ever Dominated a world cup like he did in 86....Who is your Brazilian Team ?
Best is a player that has only been surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo as a United legend. And Ronaldo is the greatest of all time, greatest to ever grace a football field.
Cristiano's successes speak for themselves, Dominated the toughest league of his time with 3 back to back premier leagues, triple Uefa champions league winner, quadruple ballon dor, international success with Portugal in 2016. He has indeed, the best trophy cabinet of any player currently or in history. The beautiful thing about it is that Ronaldo has done what he's done through allowing his hard work to flourish over his natural talent, and surpass it. He wasn't born the best, he made himself the best. That quality of his is an inspiration, not only in football but in all walks of life.

I love watching Bobby Charlton's thunderbolt shots for goals. Power, precision, perfection.

The Law, Best & Charlton days will be my favourite era of man united . It was a privilege to have seen them . And go anywhere in the world everybody new about them.
This is one of the best videos i've ever seen on youtube. geroge best and bobby charlton are legends
no diving regardless of actual contact..this is the way football should be

Hats off for the relatively restrained goal celebrations; nowadays players seem to want to show off their birth certificate to prove their loyalty to their club!
And hats off to Willie Morgan for his excellent impersonations of George Best!
Brian kidd and willie morgan. Soooooo underrated!!!!!
The pitch they played on was Definitely a Defensive friendly game.God Bless Ole Georgie Best he played so easily with everyone...Rare Talent.R.I.P.
Great footage with some outrageous goals!

Best, Law and Charlton three European footballers of the year in one team, says it all !!
Can't tell you how amazing this video is. What a treat.

Bring back terraces and standing areas-the 60,70s and 80's were the best ever time to watch football

14:06 That Scoreboard surge...
I suscribe to you
Notice the away games, Reds in every stand,
Not sure if the title is George Best's goal or literally best goals
Back then the only Championship they won was the 2nd Division
1:14 - fucking hell!
Goals from the Video: "1001 Greatest Goals"....:-)
In those days after scoring a goal you got a firm hand shake, now you get covered in love bites.
1.23 to 1.40 fantasy football
Could you imagine Messi playing on those pitches
Actually yes I can!! 😂
Real Football ... not the synthetic shit of nowday's with Fairy's falling over in agony every minute
Never seen Manchester United in blue or yellow before.
Manchester Utd original colours were green and gold when they were Newton Heath lyr
Maradona good,Pele better...George SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!
totally agree

Best british player EVER by a mile
Dont agree Ronaldo for me Maradona best footballer ever imho

It's close, but Georgie was better than Ronaldo.
