- Leeds United 2-1: FA Cup, 23/04/1977; Hillsborough
United return for another semi final in Sheffield and take most of the stands at Hillsborough. The then Leeds player McQueen described it as egg yolk with red sauce all over it. The rivalry between the two teams made for a tense occasion. Coppell and Jimmy Greenoff scored to send the United fans giddy. A soft penalty let Leeds back into the game but United held out to book a place alongside treble chasers Liverpool.

Those were the days when the Man Utd supporters had the most passion of any crowd.!They can talk all they like about the Kop but Home and away Utd supporters outshone everybody.!!!
Wish we could go back to them great times of football,...players played hard and with a passion,..no diving or cheating,..in those days, ..and pitches were muddy and sometimes snowcovered ....not like the perfectly manicured pitches of today.....but there seemed a more down to earth realism and honesty to the game years ago....the crowds and atmosphere were amazing....the money obsessed modern game doesn't have the heart or soul like the games of old....miss those wonderful times
I was their that day as a Man Utd supporter, I and others were in the Kop end which was meant to have been for Leeds, but there was a quarter full of Man Utd. Remember, when United scored a Leeds fan to the other side of the police line was wearing a miners pit helmet and wasn't happy having us for company lol! Can still see his face now lol!. A great day and a great time to watch United.
Just mentioned that in my comments
Great atmosphere never to be seen again. All British names too, not a Jonny foreigner in site!!
Remember this like it was just the other day.. Such a crush in the tunnel at the Leppings lane end just before the kick off, which had some significance many years after. United fans were everywhere, hundreds in the Leeds end and on the hills overlooking the ground.
Gordon McQueen shouting in the tunnel 'We'll crush these midgets.' Then going outside and seeing our huge support... Bet he couldn't get to OT quick enough.
scherben in shoot he said he thought leeds would own the semi n waa shocked to see utd had most of the ground. thats why he signed
It seemed like a home game for Manchester United- Their support was huge. I know that The Scum are only a comparatively small club with average gates of 23,000, well behind teams like Brighton and Norwich, but why in a FA cup semi final were there hardly any Scum fans there especially as the game was played in Yorkshire?

@@servicecrew6813 it is a fair question.
Some of the comments are actually laughable suggesting Leeds had more fans or slightly less than united fans this day. United were allocated the leppings lane and stand opposite the main stand. Leeds were allocated the kop but less than 2 years since they LOST the european cup final they couldn’t sell out all their tickets for the f a cup semi final in YORKSHIRE against their fiercest rivals.
Loads of conspiracy theories but the facts remain united had half of the kop and their was a police cordon all the way down the middle of the end from top to bottom.
We also bought up 90% of the main stand which were neutral tickets.
The crowd split was 40,000 united
15,000 Leeds and even that’s probably being a bit generous to Leeds fans. I’ve met a few Leeds fans who admit this humiliation but like Liverpool fans at Wembley 77, 83 ( twice) and a few semi finals they like to pretend it didn’t happen but believe me it did happen and nobody took followings like united back then
Over the years it has been greatly exaggerated that utd had half the kop Pete. I was by the line divided by the police and it wasn't half way. Also the Leeds half was much steeper going up into the clouds as can be seen by the Leeds scarves clip at the beginning. Also outside after the match we had to run the gauntlet and were very much outnumbered. Leeds were very angry and understandably so. This doesn't alter the fact that Utd probably did have close to 40,000 in the ground. It just annoys me when the story is exaggerated again and again. Thomas O'Flatery has got it right below when he suggests a quarter of the kop which is about right. I was standing right by the dividing line and as the ground emptied the side to our right was huge compared to ours.
michael nicholas it’s all about our own memories and perceptions mate. I was in the leppings lane seats with my dad and the big open Kop ( as it was then ) looked split into two to me. There was a row of coppers from top to boom.. maybe it wasn’t half coz the end went up gradually higher on the side they were in ,but it definitely more a third than a quarter.
Bearing in mind that they were allocated the whole end and the fact we bought 90 % of the neutral tickets in the main stand means it was still a total humiliation for Leeds fans that day
Absolutely spot on the real UTD outnumbered the sheep shaggers by at last 10-1.
I was in the so called Leeds end and got tickets from someone in Leeds as they couldn’t sell all their tickets sending thousands back to the FA from which we took full advantage.
REDS we’re all round the ground and had more than 3/4 of the open end as well leaving the real scum with only around 5000 in a crowd of over 55000.
I was stood right on the edge of the tape segregating us on the Leeds side but easily hopped over with the local plod clueless and there were some very tasty moments throughout the game I can tell you.
The biggest and best support ever in those days both home and away and all over Europe never to be repeated because of the other low life scum who got us banned everywhere and paved the way for all seater plastic stadiums.Todays supporters oh sorry customers haven’t lived and would throw up their prawn sandwiches if they were around then.
MUFC the religion.
my grandad took me to this 90% reds i was only 9 i rememeber the whole ground coz we had half the leeds end ,we were chanting my eyes have seen the glory of the doc as the reds go marching on
These were the fans time the 70s I’m an Arsenal fan so loved the 70s
Docs red army great days
I was 5, turning 6. My dad was a United fan from birth, born and raised in Stretford, but he married a Yorkshire lass and moved to a fairly rural part of Yorks to raise me and my sister.
I'd been to Old Trafford a few times before this game, but never away. My dad was mates at work with someone who was quite high up in the local FA and he managed to get him 4 tickets for this semi final.
So my uncle and cousin who was 15 years older than me (and I later discovered a well respected football hooligan) drove to Sheffield with me and my old man in my uncle's car. They went to a pub quite a way from the ground for a pre match drink and my cousin kept an eye on me with his pint in the car and my little bottle of pop and packet of crisps (kids weren't allowed in pubs back then).
The only thing I can remember about this incident is my cousin saying "oh, fucking hell" (I'd heard my dad swear but not that strongly) pulling me out of the car and running with me down this side street. I found out years later what had happened. The pub was full of Leeds, a United mob had found them and was just about to attack them in the pub when my cousin scooped me up and got me out of the way. They didn't do much damage before the Old Bill turned up, a couple of windows were put through. My uncle said my dad was terrified of what might be happening to me outside, but luckily my cousin was switched on enough to get me out of the way. The only thing I can really remember about it is my cousin swearing. But he was that savvy, he didn't want to scare me so he was just laughing and running with me down this side street with me under his arm making plane noises. It sort of went down in our family history, with my uncle saying my dad was just repeating "oh thank fuck for that, thank fuck for that" under his breath as he saw my cousin walking back to the car holding my hand once the Old Bill had intervened. My old man's line was always: "I was terrified of something happening to you, your mum would have never let me take you to another game in my life if something had" whenever this incident was brought up at family get togethers over the decades. I can remember telling my school friends the following Monday that I'd learned a new swear word and I'll tell them it if they don't tell the teacher on me. I can't remember anything about the actual game apart from the atmosphere being absolutely electric and loud, the sight and sound of that many people singing and shouting took my young breath away. There's only me and cousin still alive now, but I'll always be grateful that he was switched on and streetwise enough to act before something nasty could have come on top.
reaction of ball boy all in white at stevie coppels goal is priceless... sheer delight.. loved the unted kit of that generation, the red home and of course the classic white away with the black vertical stripes (unlike the zebra incarnation this season)... ps the even the track suit tops of united are cool...
Best youtube upload this year.
i had this manchester united kit i started supporting them in 77
Not 1992 with everyone else?
Alan Molyneux usual boring comment. we had biggests n best away support always with or without trophies give it up those comments are smalltime n old
Alan Molyneux i did well 1991.I support city now because they keep winning
@@alanmolyneux5957bitter gets you know where lad are support was huge anyway I don't have to explain to a moron who jumps on the bandwagon like everyone else worry about your own club utd always in other fans head and judging by your name you'll be going down this season haha😂😂😂😂
That leppings r.d end was an accident waiting to happen
The capacity on the Lep Terrace was higher in 77 than 89
So true
Totally agree. Just mentioned in my comments how we got crushed in the tunnel on the way in just before kick off
There were more Man U fans there that day because the FA famously fxxxxd up and allocated them far more tickets. Probarly intentional.
Alan Clarke is always the superb and cool penalty finisher
I wish football was like this now instead of this sanitised plastic premier league crap
The leppings lane was absolutely heaving.....
mcbrando It had a much bigger capacity then
Was there that day great day good result but you can understand wot happen 12 years later it was so packed accident waiting to happen
Any idea where we can find decent highlights of this game?
Paul Reaney must have been knocking on a bit.
Best ground in country at time
Young Solly behind Greenhoff :D
6:50 Joe Jordan deliberately elbows Jimmy Nicholl in the face, falls over Nicholl's legs as Nicholl falls down, and wins a penalty? I think Jordan stayed down for so long as he thought the whistle was for his foul. Nicholl barely reacts, and had probably forgotten all about it by the time Jordan signed for Man Utd. It was certainly a different game in those days!
Agreed! I was in the stand behind that goal, and my comments at the time are unprintable. The result was all that mattered in the end though. Agree with Thomas O'Flaherty above that following United through those times were great, even through the season in Div 2.
7:10 Jordan should have been sent off for that elbow.
United had 3/4 of the ground that day. Leeds hardly to be seen.
As one newspaper reported it -
" Hillsborough, where the red of Lancashire so much dominated the white and yellow of Yorkshire that it was like an egg with a whole bottle of tomato ketchup poured all over it."
***** In your dreams pissfuck
+Little Norm always amazes me how you call us scum. your main results are against pensioners at Bournemouth and the disabled section at Barnsley. you showed up in Manchester the other year and hid behind the plod. THICK YORKSHIRE SHEEP SHAGGING HEROES.
really!!! I think flossy needs sorting out or her lambs will be your brothers.
Cockney Red or is it spinach you like Popeye? lol
Leeds had the kop the big end and the main stand you had the leppings lane and the far stand look at the beginning of the video Leeds massed on the kop 40 leeds fans crushed that day i was there.
Id say it was a free for all after it
were the fuck are the leeds fans . its like old trafford.
+vespasianlegx11 . Leeds had the spion kop, which is bigger than the rest of the ground
+Antony Dove It never was bigger than the rest of the ground combined. Also, there's plenty of Reds there. About 42,000 of the 55,000 crowd were Reds.
+trippy119 Leeds never turned up in manc had all the excuses in the book utd always had to take it there and got some great results mufc
From point of view, definitely a penalty
Was this played at old Trafford? where's the Leeds fans.
Hillsborough
@@MarkSmith-er7fe Leeds got battered that day never seen in Manchester
Sadly Leeds United in decline. Lorimer on the bench. Internal strife. Difficulty of replacing Bremner and Giles. Leeds not able to move forward - hamstrung by their previous achievements. Jimmy Greenhoff played for Leeds in the '60s
Yes this match was the last act of the Leeds United side from being promoted in 64.
No leadership on the pitch for Leeds and lacking a visionary manager. Tbh that Man Utd side under Docherty played a bit like the Leeds side of the early 70s.
Leeds had enough chances!!!!
Leeds the bottlers
Why did you lost this game so near to Wembley love Leeds.
current generation of united fans (becks & cristiano) generation like will never truly understand why we all hate leeds scum. when they beat us at OT in Fa Cup 2010 with their fans singing Munich songs i understood. when we beat em at Elland Road 3-0 in the league cup with our reserve team in 2011 and Berbatov at CB, it tasted so sweet.
Yassin MY you conveniently forgot to mention that your fans started singing about Istanbul first before we responded with Munich songs . Tit for tat even though it's wrong and sung by a sick minority from both sides.
bobstermaher:- LOL So what's yer excuse for singing it for the 40 years before Istanbul then?????
Neutral Observer. I don't have an excuse because I've never sung any Munich songs . You'll have to ask someone who did sing it but like I said it was only sang by a minority .
Bullshit. Every Scum fan knows the words to that song. I know my best mate is a Scum fan and I've been many times home and away. Minority my fuckin arse!!!
Back in the 70's it was sung loud by at least 5 clubs. Defo Rangers, Liverpool, Chelsea, City and The Scum.
Maybe, just maybe it's only a minority nowadays but that because of one reason. IF they get caught singing that song by Old Bill they can get nicked!!!
I've only ever heard 1 clubs fans sing a specific song about Hillsborough and that's The Scum. United sing "Murderers" and to my mind that refers to Heysel.
I recall clearly when The Scum players were having an end of season break in Magaluf in 1991 Scum fans started up their Hillsborough song in a bar. 2 of them were chased out by a few blokes who I can only assume had some connection to Liverpool.
I spent the whole week with Kamara, Jones, Strachan, Chapman and Sterling. I could tell you some stories about that week!!!
YOUVE GOTTA RESPECT LEEDS
I went to this game as a 18 year old . As a Leeds fan from Wakefield it turned out to be a watershed moment ie from this moment on Scum stopped lording it over Leeds and after the events at this game it became a proper rivalry (off the pitch at least ). This bullshit about Scum taking over Sheffield and Leeds not turning up is total bollocks . I was there an hour before the game and an hour after and this is what I saw with my own eyes .
Firstly yes Scum had more fans in the ground it was probably 30k v 25 k as Scum had about a quarter of the Leeds end ie that huge East Bank terrace as it was called behind that right hand goal . It looks like more than on TV but that’s because it was much higher to the right of the goal than to the left . I’m not sure if that was done by Scum buying up tickets in Leeds or by forgeries or whether Scum were given an allocation as that end was so much bigger than the Leppings Lane end opposite that Scum were allocated .
Secondly yes there were a couple of thousand scum outside the ground during the game without tickets as I could see them walking around from where I was right at the top of that huge terrace . These fans locked outside had a big surprise coming later .
Thirdly there was a thin line of coppers and some silly plastic tape desperately set up behind that right hand goal as a last minute form of segregation and all I could see was Leeds charging through it and chasing Scum back and the cops trying to hold Leeds back . It’s hardly surprising though as Scum were outnumbered on there and Leeds were losing and therefore well pissed off .
Finally the real fun started after the final whistle . That East bank had huge long wide stairs down the back of it straight onto the main road outside so you had literally thousands coming down at the same time and I was one of the first because I was at the back of the stand so first out. As I came down in like a tidal wave I could see all the scum waiting outside looking for a fight ( mainly the ones without the tickets plus general hooligan types ) but it took about 30 seconds to scatter them . I’ve never seen anyone with as much fear in their eyes as that lot when we chased them down the road. For the next hour it was the same with them running here there and everywhere . Now I’m sure in different areas around the ground and in areas of Sheffield the story may have been reversed but that’s just what I saw and perhaps it was because I was with a huge group of Leeds all the time and they were all well up for it .
Since that day the Scum/Leeds off field rivalry has been fierce but there is now a general acceptance that it’s well matched too whereas it was all one way before that semi . I’d love to see an FA cup semi at Wembley . Imagine 45k Leeds and 45 k scum walking down Wembley way !
