1:55 Revie was absolutely right here. Leeds were often unfairly castigated as a team of boring defensive cloggers, but his 73-74 side was utterly brilliant. Best achievement of the decade, without a doubt. 18:18 astonishing strike by Yorath - how did he do that?
@@mick6370 clough seen straight through them and then went and managed the best team in the world for a couple of seasons 42 games unbeaten 2 champions league and a league title no I'm not bitter at all how many champions leagues did leeds win again yeh I thought so

Being a liverpool Fan myself I used to love our games against Leeds.. what an era for football..!! I still say to this day Leeds should have definitely won more cups around that time..fantastic side..
@Ron Slater There's no more bigger cheats than in todays modern game diving, faking injury footballers were footballers in the 60s & 70s every club had there star players and hard players I've been watching football since the 60s and seen a lot of great teams from different era's but Revie's Leeds, Shankly's Liverpool along with Paisley and Dalglish, George Graham's Arsenal along with Wenger and Fergies Man U all be it the latter being bought with sky money now Man City again being bought with rich owners, you could put Chelsea in there but for me not a patch on the teams I've mentioned.
@Ron Slater None nothing was proven, but there's plenty of modern players been in bother for match fixing, the problem is I can tell you have a complete hatred towards Leeds United, I've seen that Leeds team and I know how good they were just like many others I've seen I appreciate good football from any team like Liverpool today great team to watch best for 2 years for me.
I was 10 during that season. I watched Leyton Orient battle for promotion to the old first division. They were in the top three for most of that season, then started to drop points towards the end. On the night before the FA Cup final, Orient had to beat Aston Villa to gain promotion..nearly 30,000 watched that match and Orient could only draw..meaning Carlisle United went up instead
The good old days when men were men, women liked it that way, football teams played in front of fans, and toilet rolls were used for other than for their intended purposes. "Beam me back Scotty, not up." This place is now a living hell especially for those who have never committed a crime in their lives. If you can look your children in the eye and not feel like crying, then you have not been paying anything like enough proper attention.
All great players and in the case of Denis Law one of the greatest of all time - but he was past his peak then. They didn't quite match Peter Lorimer, Eddie Gray, Allan Clarke and Mick Jones. That Leeds forward line, with Bremner and Giles behind them - at that time the best midfield double act in the world - was incredible. The finest team not to win the European Cup, and only bad luck prevented it.

Fact: Poland went on to 3rd in World Cup 74 after beating England to qualification and Poland striker Lato was top scorer! Should never have sacked Sir Alf. Between 74 and 82 we lost our way.
What I notice is how the commentators said stuff that wouldn't be allowed today. David Coleman commenting how terribly teams were playing. Very refreshing to hear. Now they get ostracised by players and teams.
Loved clough to death but he was so wrong about that leeds side, they were one of the best footballing teams of that generation, yes they were hard but so were other teams.
What I find disturbing that there were 2 credible accusations against Don Revie for bribery. One by Bob Stokoe, mentioned in the 1972/73 episode, when he was manager of Bury (RIP), and one by Wolves before the last game of the season Leeds needed to beat them to win the league....too much of a coincidence. Maybe there were more who knows? Revie's Leeds side was amazing, why do that?
Every team had a hard man aka hatchet man. A player with little skill but a tough tackler! Yet Leeds we’re different! Every player could and would give it! But they had skill and technique! Revie always had a team that could mix it up! Not called dirty Leeds for nothing! They were unique! They got to so many finals and lost as well!
Apart from being a Great Manager ... Sir Brian still kept himself Tidy & Immaculate even in the 70s ... Rather than embracing the Clumsy, Bell Bottom, Flimsy Hair, Handlebar Moustaches & Long Sideburns....
No rolling around faking an injury, cynical diving, just hard tackling, quagmire grounds! modern players would shit their knickers if they had to play in those conditions, especially against those players. Games were exciting, skillful and brutal, no useless VAR with equally useless refs, players surrounding the ref when a fart blows over a player in the 18 yard box, or some moron prancing around because his lipstick was smudged, I came from that era and played on those grounds in freezing weather with driving snow and worse! When real men played men now it's a game for ponces, and the skill has gone down as have standards like everything else in this country. Shanks, Revie, Ferguson, Paisley, Clough, were brilliant managers as well as all their assistants, including Ramsey the likes of them will never be seen again. Unlucky at the world cup, their goalie decided to have a blinder on that day of all days! MOT!
From the days when football shirts looked like real man football shirts, none of these poxy perfume ads and all that. Mind you, is weird how it seems the referee and linesmen had to be at least 50.
Was at Old Trafford that season Forest beat Utd 4.0 but they always tried to play entertaining football.!!!Went down to second Division came straight back up averaging 58,500 every home game.!!!
My brother got hit in the eye in a school match by one of those old leather balls that were covered in 'dubbin' (does it still exist?) and weighed a ton. He had one weak eye for years. About 40 years later, a routine eye test revealed a detached retina from childhood that had not healed properly.
When Cloughie called Poland's keeper a clown he knew people would remember that comment longer than they remembered the match. It was shocking and controversial, but it was what we needed. Poland had plunged us into gloom, and Brian responded by dismissing their keeper with a damning verdict which gave England fans something to enjoy and savour. The crafty old beggar knew noone would ever forget his saying it. Bloody genius.
Something I'll never understand and Forest fans won't like this but if you look at the timeline. Clough forced to leave Derby, England fail to qualify, Sir Alf resigns. Why didn't Clough get the England job then? Surely that was the ideal opportunity? We're the FA really that scared of him?
That Polish Goalkeeper ! If he were playing today, he'd surely be 100 million dollar signing. I wonder how much he was paid in chickens and cabbage in Poland ?
i used to spend my childhood Saturdays at hihgbury with me dad and i remember that even the legendary bowling green of a pitch being like the somme most seasons
Derby county in second place and sack Clough , affected there season there finished in 3rd place but could it off been better ,yes because they won the league next season.
In the days when the captain would go up first to collect the cup , medals in a small box , none of that silly dancing they do now , or the pyrotecnics going of
It's a shame how money has ruined everything .... I was not alive for any of this but you can clearly tell that passion and emotion is not there the way it seems to be in these videos
Not sure the game would have survived though if it weren't for sponsorship, TV, and money.
