We took a very tidy firm to Leeds in 87. Salomon Brothers, it went off all afternoon. At about 9pm I got a brilliant kebab and farted a few times as I walked up the Finchley Road .. epic
5th. Round of the FA Cup in '77 Leeds v CITY. Some television station (possibly Granada) did a documentary about policing a major football match. Mayhem all day. The dibble even stopped our coach on the M62 just outside Leeds. Happy days!
I was there but was only ten, my dad took me in the West Stand. City used to bring thousands over the Pennines in them days. Everton used to travel in numbers too.
There were two major events with chelsea and leeds on the service station areas....i was in one of them....this isnt the well known one.... In the 70s we chelsea pulled into services....we were one side leeds the other.....we gave each other banter.....we then got over excited and ran up the stairs to cross the bridge to the other....unbeknown to our 60 bods who saw similar leeds on the oppo site there were also many leeds in the upstairs restaurant....leeds had come up also from their side....both groups stood for a few seconds before running at each other...we got further to their stairs....suddenly leeds piled out of the restaurant from two different doors....stairs leeds attacked....we were truly beaten....we managed to eventually get down our stairway ....limping and pride hurt......great days
@@stephenunderwood7011 I was there also as a visiting Leeds fan. The wall collapse which resulted in the death of a 15-years-old boy was caused by rogue policing.

I am not a Leeds fan however I was at many Leeds major hooligan games back in the day. Reason being my Mom is a Birmingham fan and my Dad is a Leeds fan but I became an Albion fan. I was at the Hawthorne's in 82 but the Birmingham riot in 85 was like Waterloo. I remember it was hard to tell the two sets of fans apart as everyone had yellow, white and blue scarfs on (Casual dressing wasn't really big then). And to anyone who doesn't rate Leeds back in the 80s obviously has no idea. Leeds were the most notorious by far and apart from Birmingham in 85 I only ever witnessed them on the back foot once, away to Spurs early 90's I think.
The biggest beating I have ever seen at a football match was when Wolves battered Leeds in the South Bank in the late 70's. They were demolished. Leeds has a good firm and travelled in big numbers, but they came very unstuck at Wolves that day.
The name service crew came about in 80-81 not used before,it grew around the fashion at the time ( we all know what it was) it brought all the separate leeds mobs together, before that the harehills mob was the best, unfortunately in the 70s all the different areas of leeds hated each other a throw back from the skinhead/ suede head mobs of the early 70s, every estate had one👍
You have the wrong years there my friend.This video has the years and the reasons about spot on, i know because i was there with mates .... traveling on service trains to avoid getting on the 'specials' started around 74.Many memories of service train trips some overnight and sleeping where we could then grabbing a breakfast early on before the pubs opened. QPR away when we won the league at Loftus Road 27th April 74 a prime example of arriving in London by service train early morning and Leeds fans everywhere as time clicked on...seeing West Ham and Millwall having a go we had to be aware of this but there were so many Leeds down there it was a scene where it seemed like we had the place to ourselves for the day. So much happened in the hours from arriving to making our way to the match on foot it would take me ages to put it all down...the local evening paper had the headline 'The battle of the Euston Road' when we clashed with others wanting to stir things up...changed a bit nowadays.The Scarborough Taps and the Black Lion favourites during that period.
@@timmyhamilton56 I know lads went on the service train well before the my older brother 80s my older brother for one, what everyone knows as the service crew was as much about clothes as anything else, but the name service crew wasn't used till later, I agree about the taps and the black lion, the black lion was the better of these boozers then, but they're you're thoughts and memories those are mine

Game was drawn out of hat for Telford, but because Telford had crowd trouble there the round before against Burnley the old bill crapped themselves when Leeds came out of the hat! Can't say i blame them lol. Anyway it got switched to WBA & all hell broke out with the locals & their MP's as they didn't want Leeds there after the riot years earlier. Anyway game got played on a pitch totally frozen as they just wanted to get it out the way & there was so much media going on around it at the time as i remember as i'm local to it all
I was at the Grimsby v leeds game, absolute mayhem, after the match i remember leeds fans getting into local buses and punching anyone, innocent people who had not even been to the match getting beaten up crazy behaviour.
I remember my brother coming home from that game, a sex shop was done and he brought home loads of sex toys and porno mags. Middle of the night, his mates turned up wanting their cut, my dad wasn't happy, chased them off and they came back so sent my brother out to sort it lol. I went to many a game in the 70' and 80's at Elland Rd, mad times but fantastic, loved the night matches the best.
We met some Grimsby lads at the world cup in 82 and they said when you come to us come over and stay, we'll it was the first game if my memory is right, about 30 of us went to stay at his house 142 convamore Road, could be spelt wrong, well what a weekend couple of thousand in cleethorpes on the Friday night then after the game I'm not taking sole responsibility for the tuck shop at the back of the stand. Hope your fit and well Terry were ever you are.
Leeds weren’t the first English club to get banned from Europe for crowd trouble. That was Tottenham a year before after the UEFA Cup Final. Sorry to bruise a few egos but facts are always good
1997 home to "scum".They brought a large support.Outside after the game Leeds trapped them and thousands came down the grass hill into them. I was a young 16yr old.Funnily enough I saw a school mate (scum) come walking towards me out of the melee...He was ashen faced and looked shocked..no colours on and same age.I looked at him and said "you alright Jim (Clark)" he just nodded as he walked away 😂.The biggest battle I ever saw back in the day.Funnily enough we both lived and went to a school in South London.Still supporting Leeds today.M.O.T.

They ran riot in Bournemouth Town centre and then again on Bournemouth beach. Then while the game was on the Leeds fans without tickets sat in the park outside the ground until the police came from round the corner and attacked the Leeds fans just sitting in the sun with riot shields and just charged all of the Leeds fans
Doesn't mention The Ship Crew. Who never fought at Ellend Road. They were the first to start , going to Birmingham for example and going and fighting Aston Villa fans etc before going to watch Leeds play Birmingham.
I’m trying to get More info on my uncle Stephen Fleet who I was told was beaten up by Leeds Fans in early 1970’s he worked on the railways and died of his injuries. The boys involved were only teenagers and were sent to prison/young offenders institutes. I don’t have exact dates or info on the boys involved. Stephen was about 19/20 yrs old and had some learning difficulties
Whites v Man city at home, was when there were railings around all the stands. I remember that day, was standing about half way up Geldered End. here were some City fans standing in the adjacent Lowfields terracing, they were taunting the Geldered, I heard a shout of on the pitch, and then waves of Geldered Enders climbed over the railings and charged. Its the first time the police had to use mounted riot pokice on a football pitch
@Old School Football. Leeds V West Ham I think 1983 or 1984. West Ham ICF in a stand next to the Leeds. Whilst the other West Ham fans were in the away end. Scuffles before the match and it kicked off after especially at the train station
Mainly agree,but much of the switch to The Hawthorns was at the behest of the FA,due to safety concerns.Bitterly cold day and the pitch was like an ice rink in places.Remember the chant of "You're supposed to be at home" directed at the Telford fans who were heavily out-numbered.Ian Baird scored the only goal if memory serves.
@@barrywebster1128 Can you tell us what you did when you got in The Holgate ??? Because you must of been very very quiet , i,ll be honest with you its news to me , i always remember Leeds getting done on a regular basis at Ayresome Park in those days and even many Leeds lads admit that Ayresome Park was naughty
Leeds v City 1978, Leeds were losing 2-0 to us, They charged down trying to get on the pitch so they could get at City and get the game Abandoned City fans Did NOT Attempt to infiltrate the home end as you suggest Please get your facts correct 4:031:031:05
Yes I was in the kop , A lad got on the pitch and had a go with Joe Corrigan (Man City’s keeper ) the kop surged down to the front and the game was halted because of the numbers on the pitch , Leeds we’re losing at the time and ref addressed the crowd saying the game will be finished even if it’s at midnight ! Was also at Ayresome park behind the goal and Leeds fans were in the opposite home end , they moved a few hundred out and put them in an already packed away pen which caused crushing , that was just after Hillsborough .
@@peterbeard4639 I think the passion that the crowd has now comes from our generation ! Your team is for life no matter who they are ! Sadly the players don’t show the same loyalty 😏

Whether its palatable to whoever you support Chelsea & Leeds were in the headlines more than any other clubs in them days for hooliganism infact Leeds were the only club to be threatened with being kicked out of the League.
I went to Leeds in 79.....with Liverpool....on the special....I was 15 ..bunked off school and went with my dad and his mate......last game of the season I think....we needed to win to get the most points in a season and score 2 to get a prize from the s#n...obvs before 89....!!! We won 3-0... Liverpool dressed like we were from another planet....Leeds were still in flares and had scalfes around there wrist's....we didn't even wear colour's....!!! Went off big time....after the game the train pulled out of the station just as a huge mob of Leeds came running along the platform..... perfect end to a Thursday night.....so proud of Liverpool in those early days....the original's.....!!!!
@@Ballyy33 really...! your dad's first game ..a big one too remember.....I spent half the game watchin the bricks flying over at us....we were on the side of the pitch with no cover over us .....!
Like the calling card said we were number one when it matteted some of the service crew and VYT Have unfortunately passed away RIP boys atvb to everyone no hard feelings this end. #MOT
You are having a laugh son never ever No1, Never showed with anything resembling a game mob in Liverpool or Manchester back in the day and Boro destroyed them at the Old Ayrsome Park, The late Lee Duffy gave a few of them a good slap.
No. 1 when it mattered.. Do me a favour, good at smashing things up that's about it.. Piccadilly early / mid 80s ruined any reputation they might have had. Hated but not rated by those of us who were actually around 'when it mattered'
@@mick6370 You obviously weren't there home or away.. Ffs there were Chelsea lads helping some of yours onto ambulances outside Piccadilly who got nicked for there trouble. Leeds game that day but got absolutely ruined. Seriously mate, stop peddling nonsense you obviously know nothing about..
Early 80s on, it was mainly Leeds fighting old bill most games while the other fans would watch or pretend to try and get at us. Brum, Chelski, Grimsby, etc. Occasionally fighting in the stands, but mainly old bill were on duty in unprecedented numbers and would end up fighting with Leeds, baton charges, etc. The team were poor but the crew were no1. Funny reading the posts mind, scousers ahead in the fashion stakes LOL. Good days.
Correct Ian Hambridge first ever Leeds game and we post the plaque every year as I was stood outside as the wall as the police stormed into the derelict ground if it wouldn't have been for the cameraman refusing to help I could have got to him Haswell as the lad I did get out
Remember when a small mob of Leeds bumped into a mob of Warrington Rugby fans think it was at Manchester train station around 80/81 and it kicked off. Leeds got abit cheeky with tge Wire lads and ended up gettin batterd by Warrington
@@pleasantville4529 Leeds had been playing Utd or City and Warrington had Been changing trains coming from Huddersfield. A lot of the Rugby lads were also footy fans and involved in hooliganism back then. Warrington had some kickoff with Leeds at the Rugby as well. They hated us and Wigan.
As an hull kr fan i can confirm the wire had a very lively set of fans, we had many a set-to with them at the old wilderspool and craven park.@@davidcorbett1713
Are you sure they didn't travel down to West Ham on the Friday night and infiltrate the fisherman's pubs in the early hours of the morning .. Leeds are the only mob to turn up mob handed at the market on way to Upton Park in 70s 80s you can't deny Leeds did nothing at West Ham it is well known
What did you bring to Leeds ? Knack all infact you brought 200 fans in 1978 in a open pen in the corner of the lowfields for a 3pm KO, Revie's young generation grow up together and became a force in 79 when everyone seem to be similar age.
what have west ham ever done at Leeds? Boring fixture, always was , Chelsea & Millwall were the two fixtures had that extra spice to it . i've still yet to see a firm at Elland Road as mean looking as Millwalls back in 84 & i've never seen a firm at Leeds as big as the Chelsea firm, late 80's
No they didn't. I was there. Some stones got thrown at the windows and that was it. It was a glass box near the away end, Leeds fans didn't know it was a disabled section.
@@TerraNova1967 wel it was a long time ago that's why I was asking But forgot the question mark funny what you can remember and wat cant I remember Rotherham beating Chelsea 7,0
Where did Leeds get battered at that cup game? We were on train and nothing from your lot before or after the game apart from throwing missiles. The only attempt that day was by our lot trying to get out of the away end but were beaten back by the coppers
I've watched plenty of fights in all of the four games ive been at Elland Road. Its allways been l Leeds fans hunting opposition fans who runs for the life back to their buses and they throw bricks and stones through the windows. First time I saw this I was around 10 years old and I was right in the middle of the action. Luckily I had the Leeds jersey on so nobody touched me but a woman on a police horse grabbed me and helped me away from the area. I never felt threatened or scared I was actually fascinated and I just thought for myself I was glad I was not a Derby supporter that day because they was running away scared for their lives 😂 almost exactly the same happened when they played against QPR and huddersfield. These games were around the time 2008-2014. Never had the pleasure to return to ER again but I hope its more civilized 😂

Tottenham nothing don't make me laugh top London firm by a mile West Ham don't rate Leeds ha ha 1982 market stall,Man U wen Richie scored fictional even Manchester police said if we weren't here Man u would be off
Day of Brixton riots in 1980 Leeds fans cause trouble at Arsenal but obviously overshadowed. Leeds fan killed at WHL in FA Cup game 81. When Jimmy Hill turned Coventry into all seater, early 80s, Leeds fans cause mayhem ripping out seats.
That's a load of bollocks about Telford United in 1987. They were drawn at home anyway but their ground wasn't considered safe enough. So the game was played at The Hawthorns on a freezing cold day. I was there.
I'll leave a comment. No recollection on there of little Oldham Turning up in Leeds centre with 39 boys and doing Leeds twice with no police in attendance. And when the police do show, start nicking heavily outnumbered Oldham boys instead of that lot.
CCS sent leeds home with three tail between there legs are chasing em from rose st all the way down to waverley station, had to be saved by the police, hibs were the top firm in Scotland, leeds never stood a chance.

Its divided into sections with fences... they had 1 and a half sections which amounts to about a thousand fans there I'm being generous.. They were terrified my cousin went hes a leeds fan it was the worst night of his life he said..where was the famous leeds hooligans then .. nowhere to be seen... they got their reputation from smashing up second division grounds but up against the big boys they are laughable 😂

I remember that day, was standing about half way up Geldered End. here were some City fans standing in the adjacent Lowfields terracing, they were taunting the Geldered, I heard a shout of on the pitch, and then waves of Geldered Enders climbed over the railings and charged. Its the first time the police had to use mounted riot pokice on a football pitch
What happened to Leeds VYT
You don't want to bump into them
@Old School Football. Leeds V West Ham I think 1983 or 1984. West Ham ICF in a stand next to the Leeds. Whilst the other West Ham fans were in the away end. Scuffles before the match and it kicked off after especially at the train station
Telford were drawn at home against Leeds match played at West Brom to get a bigger attendance wrong yet again with your so called facts
Mainly agree,but much of the switch to The Hawthorns was at the behest of the FA,due to safety concerns.Bitterly cold day and the pitch was like an ice rink in places.Remember the chant of "You're supposed to be at home" directed at the Telford fans who were heavily out-numbered.Ian Baird scored the only goal if memory serves.
Yeah thats right, was at the game with the TYO had a good firm out that day, if it was at Telford would of been a good day, hate Leeds
Rip. Pat Slaughter,.Pudsey Macca, Clayton..
Never showed at Old Trafford
True..only showed when escorts came in!🇪🇬👊👹
Leeds didn't try to take the Boro end(Holgate) in 89. A number got tickets for that end but quickly asked the police to take them to the away end .
We went in there December '82 about ten minutes before the end of the game after leaving the seats in the main stand
@@barrywebster1128 Can you tell us what you did when you got in The Holgate ??? Because you must of been very very quiet , i,ll be honest with you its news to me , i always remember Leeds getting done on a regular basis at Ayresome Park in those days and even many Leeds lads admit that Ayresome Park was naughty

No mention of Leeds v Yid army in the 70s and 80s..Plus the main violence back then was outside the stadiums
Service crew was founded in Bradford Shipley
Leeds v City 1978, Leeds were losing 2-0 to us, They charged down trying to get on the pitch so they could get at City and get the game Abandoned
City fans Did NOT Attempt to infiltrate the home end as you suggest
Please get your facts correct 4:03 1:03 1:05
Yes I was in the kop , A lad got on the pitch and had a go with Joe Corrigan (Man City’s keeper ) the kop surged down to the front and the game was halted because of the numbers on the pitch , Leeds we’re losing at the time and ref addressed the crowd saying the game will be finished even if it’s at midnight !
Was also at Ayresome park behind the goal and Leeds fans were in the opposite home end , they moved a few hundred out and put them in an already packed away pen which caused crushing , that was just after Hillsborough .

Whether its palatable to whoever you support Chelsea & Leeds were in the headlines more than any other clubs in them days for hooliganism infact Leeds were the only club to be threatened with being kicked out of the League.
Rangers were a mental mob with serial killers from Ulster among the ranks in the 70s and 80s.
A lot of this is not true
I went to Leeds in 79.....with Liverpool....on the special....I was 15 ..bunked off school and went with my dad and his mate......last game of the season I think....we needed to win to get the most points in a season and score 2 to get a prize from the s#n...obvs before 89....!!! We won 3-0... Liverpool dressed like we were from another planet....Leeds were still in flares and had scalfes around there wrist's....we didn't even wear colour's....!!! Went off big time....after the game the train pulled out of the station just as a huge mob of Leeds came running along the platform..... perfect end to a Thursday night.....so proud of Liverpool in those early days....the original's.....!!!!
that was my dads first game, he said he doesnt remember the match at all he just remembers gazing at the trouble in the south stand and lowfields.
@@Ballyy33 really...! your dad's first game ..a big one too remember.....I spent half the game watchin the bricks flying over at us....we were on the side of the pitch with no cover over us .....!

Wake up lad your talking crap
Early 80s on, it was mainly Leeds fighting old bill most games while the other fans would watch or pretend to try and get at us. Brum, Chelski, Grimsby, etc. Occasionally fighting in the stands, but mainly old bill were on duty in unprecedented numbers and would end up fighting with Leeds, baton charges, etc. The team were poor but the crew were no1. Funny reading the posts mind, scousers ahead in the fashion stakes LOL. Good days.
Old bill hospitalised me twice at Leeds,receiving many stitches.Those we're the days😂 M.O.T.
FA Cup 5th Rd v QPR in 87 is one of the worst I remember at Elland Road, Madness in the Lowfields Stand.
Yeah. Saw it all fro m The South Stand.

Remember when a small mob of Leeds bumped into a mob of Warrington Rugby fans think it was at Manchester train station around 80/81 and it kicked off. Leeds got abit cheeky with tge Wire lads and ended up gettin batterd by Warrington
You don't mess with the rugby lot. That's the first lesson a potential football hooligan should be taught.
@@pleasantville4529 Leeds had been playing Utd or City and Warrington had Been changing trains coming from Huddersfield. A lot of the Rugby lads were also footy fans and involved in hooliganism back then. Warrington had some kickoff with Leeds at the Rugby as well. They hated us and Wigan.
As an hull kr fan i can confirm the wire had a very lively set of fans, we had many a set-to with them at the old wilderspool and craven park.@@davidcorbett1713

Leeds did nothing at West Ham 70’s 80’s
Are you sure they didn't travel down to West Ham on the Friday night and infiltrate the fisherman's pubs in the early hours of the morning .. Leeds are the only mob to turn up mob handed at the market on way to Upton Park in 70s 80s you can't deny Leeds did nothing at West Ham it is well known
What did you bring to Leeds ? Knack all infact you brought 200 fans in 1978 in a open pen in the corner of the lowfields for a 3pm KO, Revie's young generation grow up together and became a force in 79 when everyone seem to be similar age.
what have west ham ever done at Leeds? Boring fixture, always was , Chelsea & Millwall were the two fixtures had that extra spice to it .
i've still yet to see a firm at Elland Road as mean looking as Millwalls back in 84 & i've never seen a firm at Leeds as big as the Chelsea firm, late 80's
set fire to the disabled enclosure box barnsley 82 i thnk
No they didn't. I was there. Some stones got thrown at the windows and that was it. It was a glass box near the away end, Leeds fans didn't know it was a disabled section.

Leeds fans hunting opposition fans who runs for the life back to their buses and they throw bricks and stones through the windows.
First time I saw this I was around 10 years old and I was right in the middle of the action. Luckily I had the Leeds jersey on so nobody touched me but a woman on a police horse grabbed me and helped me away from the area.
I never felt threatened or scared I was actually fascinated and I just thought for myself I was glad I was not a Derby supporter that day because they was running away scared for their lives 😂 almost exactly the same happened when they played against QPR and huddersfield. These games were around the time 2008-2014. Never had the pleasure to return to ER again but I hope its more civilized 😂

That's a load of bollocks about Telford United in 1987. They were drawn at home anyway but their ground wasn't considered safe enough. So the game was played at The Hawthorns on a freezing cold day. I was there.
I'll leave a comment. No recollection on there of little Oldham Turning up in Leeds centre with 39 boys and doing Leeds twice with no police in attendance. And when the police do show, start nicking heavily outnumbered Oldham boys instead of that lot.
