I've only just come across this vid. I'm not a Leeds fan or even a big football fan, but i do have a soft-spot for watching that team of the early '70s. From London with ♥
If anyone needs further proof of what you say they can look at his goal against Burnley at Elland Road season 69/70. It's on youtube. He got two that day and they were both superb.
I only got to watch Leeds in the late 70s in person. Their glory days were receding. My heroes (some of whom were already gone) rather than a full team were: Tony Currie, Trevor Cherry, Joe Jordan,, Gordon McQueen, Eddie and Frank Gray, Billy Bremner and Peter Lorimer. You can see a bit of a Scottish bias there. I missed a lot of the really great players who had been there a few years earlier. These were my boyhood heroes and I still know their names today. These men were greater to me than Rambo/Superman/Batman/Rocky, etc. Thanks for uploading this. Leeds United - thanks for making of one of the things in my life that I am passionate about. To all the players who have worn the strip - thank you.
It's not saying wilkinsons team was better. The best squad leeds had was the early 70's....brilliant team. Class players in every position. Never got the credit they deserved because the london press hated leeds utd....when they were promoted in the 60's leeds ripped through the top flight like a whirlwind..destroying london teams..and anybody else they played.
This was undoubtably very good team indeed, but the early 70s team are something else not forgetting the mid to late 60s team of course which was also brilliant
Without any shadow of a doubt, Martyn's the keeper. I'd strongly consider Radabe for Hunter and John Charles is an absolute gimme over Jones. Clarke or Hasselbaink would be a good discussion. And if we're talking about players who've played for Leeds rather than Leeds legends then Cantona and Ferdinand have to be considered.
I would always find room for Tony Currie, Harvey Reaney McQueen, Hunter, Cooper Bremner Giles Currie Gray Clarke Lorimer subs Madeley Jordan, Charlton, Sprake, cantona
Mate. Leeds were an amazing team back then who didn't nearly win as many trophies as they should have. But Ajax won the European cup three times in a row between 1970 and '73. Bit much to say that Leeds were rated ahead of them.
As good as Jones and Jordan were, Allan Clarke would have thought all his christmases had come all at once playing alongside John Charles - he'd take unbeievable punishment wiith a shrug.

Eddie Gray was simply the Best dribbler of the ball I ever had the pleasure to watch. A magician. gd. Yorkshire UK.

Had this on VHS. Watching again for the sax music
Absolutely legendary tune!

You can see the English influences in Wilkinsons selection. Big Gordon McQueen not even in among the hopefuls.
A pile of nonsense. 😂😂😂
Mick ( ohh Betty) Jones what an underrated Striker !

Oh my...forgot how good this vid was. Spent a great evening watching my heroes.... oh and luvin Wilkos commentary too. Great show
Sprake cost us more trophies than anyone and he let in the 1st goal against chelsea in 70 cup final. David Harvey 100% everytime
They should have just signed Peter Shilton.
@@flaviusconstantius9702 It was down to Revies loyalty to players , there’s no loyalty to winning trophies , Brian Clough is an example !
@@mikewest1542 And one of the first things Clough did at Leeds was try to buy Shilton. Everyone knew GK was Leeds' weakness.

Paul Madeley has to be the sub. He's a one-man bench. Cover for everyone.
stuartk .......Dalton Taylor
Tony curry
Sergeant Wilko's Barmy Army......❤️❤️
John Charles a goal every other game and played half the time at centre back
I would always find room for Tony Currie, Harvey Reaney McQueen, Hunter, Cooper Bremner Giles Currie Gray Clarke Lorimer subs Madeley Jordan, Charlton, Sprake, cantona
My first Leeds game was Leeds vs Everton, Nov 1968. Leeds won the league losing only 2 games from 42......Beat that???
Clough thought he could beat it but he was talking out of his arse as usual.
Arsenal did the whole season unbeaten
@@prochoicenotantivax119 Correct, but Leeds only lost 2 at a time when they played 42 league games plus cup matches.
And Even Don Revie said he should have put Harvey in earlier
Back in the 70's Leeds were something else. Dirty? Yes at times, but incredibly successful.
At the time 1972 team were rated the best club side in the world.

err no, the 70's team was better.
No sorry. They were good but against billy n the boys, no chance Jimmy.
I beg to differ, Leeds of the early 70's were better. P.S. That music's terrible LOL
MOT
90's porn music, what can go wrong :)
