As a Liverpool fan I love these old games even when it's other teams, quality sides with passion and skill wish I could go back in time just once and relive it.
Same here mate they played more interesting football. Nowadays they fall over a piece of turf their out for the season. Imagine modern player playing with the old old skool lads of yesteryear 😂
Those were the days eh? I was a teenage 16 at the time. A Chelsea fan to this day, great games, blood curdling tackles, lotsa fisticuffs.....marvellous. Ps: even F1 was entertaining then, Gilles Villeneuve, James Hunt, Vittorio Brambilla et al. Happy to have grown up in the 70’s. 🙃
70s was best time to grow up. they used open the gates 15 minutes before full time (leicester filbert street ) thats when all the kids came in to watch and then run on pitch at end of match .
Odd to think that as a Spurs fan I recall rushing home to watch DERBY play in the European cup on Wednesday evenings. yes DERBY. How times change and not for the better
Derby won two league titles in the 70s, the first with Brian Clough and the second with Dave Mackay as manager. Mackay was one of Clough's first signings for Derby.
Graham, money kills the soul of any sport, football and rugby have gone the same way. The days when we had proper clubs, replaced sadly by sports franchises.
Two great teams full of household names. I always felt that the Baseball Ground was often worth a goal start to Derby on those days when it looked more like a muddy ploughed field than a football pitch. When players played for the jersey and not for money, the good old days 👍👍
@@antoniosilvestro9045 i was celebrating at the Baileys night club in derby with the players when it was announced they had won the league when ipswich lost to man city..memorable days in the popside,never to be repeated
Yep , as a City fan i visited Derbys old Baseball ground on quite a few occasions, great little ground, atmospheric, dodgy pitch, i really miss old grounds like that place.
Blimey. That's why we all loved football! I am sixty years of age and all of those names just trip off the tongue. Legends. Liverpool won the league that season. The rest is history 😳
I was 12 also and was at the game. I was and still am a Bradford city supporter living in nz. We were in the corner in between the leeds and derby fans. Atmosphere was electric especially when the fight was going on. Great experience watching 2 great teams from the 70s and at 60 years old am thrilled to watch this again and again and say I was there
Ahhhh the 70s, great characters, great football, a fight breaks out and then back home for some findus mince pancakes and Angel Delight for afters and Rising Damp on tv. Great days❤
Butterscotch Angel Delight, the height of sophistication when we woz young. Dream Topping, Carnation Milk on tinned peaches, fish finger butties with ketchup. Footie in the school yard, 40 a side with a tennis ball, flares flapping as you ran. Was it really so long ago?
@@mrstandfast2212 Well said Sir.Dont get me wrong, it was not always easy, many a time i came unstuck trying to negotiate my flares and said tennis ball ( resulting in me going arse over tit) but it made me who i am today.😀😀
Yup. And uncontrolled hooliganism, disgraceful levels of racism and no place for women or girls. It had it's moments but the ugliness ended up with Heysel and Hillsborough.

As a Leeds fan I've got to congratulate Frannie as he looked like a demented Mike Tyson throwing those punches and our Norm looked like a right softie going down so easily.
True - but Lee went down ridiculously easily for the penalty, and I say that as a Derby fan. I saw Lee win penalties against other teams that season, or the season before. He was very good a conning the refs.
Norman 'bites yer legs' fell down becos he slipped on the notorious baseball ground mud - not becos lee landed any punches. The only one who connected was hunter when he split lee's lip just before the main altercation
As an LUFC fan, every one of our players is a legend to me, but what a team in Derby! Toddy, Frannie, Charlie, Archie... all could have walked into any top team in the league back then. Great teams, great match, great upload. Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this. I was barely 9-10 when this happened, and the nearest I came to seeing these rather legendary two teams "playing" was after I managed to collect thecomplete set of the "Rams" from the "Topps" chewing gum sets that year! till then, I wasn't even really a football fan then (still never gone to see a real league match), but "chose" Derby County as my favourite team. :)
What a terrific game. I did like Lee when he played for City but as a Scot - what an array of household names: Harvey, Gray, Bremner, Rioch, Lorimer and of course, Archie Gemmill
The English play the Scottish game Ali,that many great Scottish players and managers came to England they changed the game for the better,more skill,tactics,training,fitness,Scottish managers made owners buy the players "they" wanted,not the owners,some owners still picked the team on a Saturday until the 1960's?
Brilliant Football Years Them So Many Very Talented Players Around Not Like So Called Superstars Of Today It Was Real Natural Talent So Many At EveryClub Great Yrs Of Football
I lived on Melcombe St right next to the Baseball ground. I had a mate who worked the turnstiles, and I watched all home games, this one included, for free. Happy days.
i remember this... as a Wednesday fan coming back from Walsall in the car listening on the radio. Our game had been abandoned after 15 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch, so we all went home. The radio commentary is obviously different to what Motty was saying, because on the radio they said it was a 22 man brawl!! couldn't wait to see match of the day!!
I was 12 when this happened. I used to love Saturdays as a kid. Morning trips to the shops to buy a Subbuteo accessory with my spends. Dad going to work at the bookies, the dank fog (it was always foggy, Football Focus or Kick Off, Grandstand, Eddie Waring, Leeds and Derby fighting. Life was much simpler then and I'll always remember this.
Loved watching that some great memories. Reminded me what a fantastic player Archie Gemmill was just floats and of course that goal for Scotland against Holland in the world cup!!😃
When the punch up result was more important than the match.Those were the days my friend I thought theyld never end. Id forgotten what life was all about.Thanks for the memories.
Lol. Watch the actual footage. Norman 'bites yer legs' fell down becos he slipped on the notorious baseball ground mud - not becos lee landed any punches. The only one who connected with any punches was hunter when he split lee's lip just before the main altercation
Cloughie had them bang to rights ..nothing but thugs...cowardly thugs ..Hunter slipped on his own sht, when he sht himself seeing those combos coming to take his head off !!
They're go on about Hunter as some sort of hard man but Peter Osgood at Chelsea was harder and went for Hunter at game I went to in 70s with my Chelsea mate..when Osgood called him out during the match and Hunter didn't want to know ..Osgood could look after himself and was big lad btw I'm Arsenal fan
This match played on 01st November 1975 was a meeting between the two previous seasons League Champions; Derby County (1975) and Leeds United (1974). Surprisingly neither team would win the title this year and apart from Leeds in 1992, this season would mark the end of their halcion period. Within six seasons both clubs would suffer relegations. I think it criminal that Charlie George made only one England appearance. So much play flowed through him and he was very good on the ball. His one appearance for Don Revie against the Republic of Ireland he played 60 minutes. At half time Revie told him he wanted to play as a left-winger. It has been suggested since that Revie was forced to pick Charlie by the media and was looking for an excuse to drop him. Charlie had choice words for Revie when he was substituted after an hour and so never played for the three-lions again.
We met Charlie George on the Arsenal legends Emirates stadium tour (which is what he does these days). He specifically mentioned Don Revie and Leeds Utd - and not in a good way!!
yes i think both teams were passed their 1970's best at this point - only just though - derby had won the league months earlier in may and leeds had reached the european cup final that month too.
Incredible game. Such skill from Clarke, Lorimer (what a shot!), Lee, Gemmill etc. A proper fight. And, even proper old fashioned Saturday afternoon fog from the coal fires. Wonderful. I loved football until Klinsmann arrived and started diving every time he was touched. He was the thin end of the wedge, unfortunately.
Leave Jurgen out of it, he didn’t totally introduce diving! Nasty continental habits came in with those greasy Argentinians Osbalso Ardilles and the big guy who couldn’t play Ricky who?
Frannie Lee invented diving he did it week in week out and English refs had never seen play acting before so he got away with it.. . He had the Chinese nickname of Lee Won Pen!
It is not shown on this edit, but Todd's tackle that eventually led to Derby's second goal is immense. I wasn't at this match, but I remember it well, all the fuss about the fight etc. Great days.
I,m so old I remember when this was a huge match between these two. Always remember Francis Lee being the first diving cheat I ever saw playing football. Distinctly recall his low flying techniques at Tottenham when playing for Man City in the 1969/70 season. He was soundly booed for the rest of the game.
Hunter was a recognised tough man. Rarely mentioned in these conversations is Francis Lee. Often mentioned in dressing rooms and after dinner speeches as one of the toughest players out there.
Yes, I was only a kid in the 70s but I once remember going to a fight....... and a football match broke out 😂😂😂😂😂❤ fxxxxxx love it... BOOOOOM, happy days
A great Leeds side. That bit of skill from Clarke at 9:26 was sublime. Denied a goal by some brilliant defending. Cruijffesque. And I'm a lifelong Man Utd supporter. Hunter was obviously niggled by that dive from Frannie Lee, that won Derby the penalty, culminating in both players being sent off for fighting.
I remember everyone at school talking about this game. Jimmy Hill announced that Match of the Day would never show this match again. Fast forward a few decades and we can watch it as often as we like.
I have no interest in football whatsoever. I recall some of the names here so I thought I’d give it a look. Absolutely fantastic game! Awesome skills, passionate, heartfelt and hard-fought. They were tough guys and that was a tough battle. Really enjoyed this video.
Great footage. Don't remember the fight. So good to hear Motty's voice. Didn't Roger Davies score a hat trick at Spurs in a cup game that went into extra time. Derby came back from 3-1 down to win 5-3 in that match.
Many years later, Lee was watching a match at Elland Road, when a voice called out "Oi Frannie, do you wanna finish that fight?" He looked round and it was Hunter. They were able to have a good laugh about it.
It looked to me like Hunter was happy to throw a punch when he was in numbers but when there was just the two of them he was back-peddling and not so brave after all. He bottled it!
Its a very good game. Im romanian and this game is amazing. Much more entertaining than todays games. In those days you had to be very skilled to play in those football pitches . In early 2000s when romanian football pitches were still very bad the western teams players had problems playing in them because they were not used to them anymore.
at 3.50, ''Charlie George, who scored two against REAL MADRID in midweek ( for Derby County! )'' ...Just an amazing fixture for Derby to be involved with by todays standards.
A lot of gamechangers on both sides here: Gemmill, Clark, Charlie George, Billy Bremner, Francis Lee...for me and my generation these were the Golden Years, never improved on.
Look at the build up of play / shot on goal by Franny Lee leading up to the first part of the Lee / Hunter clash. Billy Bremner twice, has a kick at Lees ankles from behind, Bremner then runs off, leaving his "enforcer" Norman Hunter to cut Lee off, who by this time was after Bremner seeking retribution. The whole thing was started by Billy Bremner. Brian Clough was right!
"And let's hope the good football which the fans are applauding is what this game is remembered for, rather than the unfortunate non-football incident..." Yeh. Good luck with that, Motty!
two great teams, forgot how good Charlie George was, also Archie Gemmill, Lorimer much better than I remember, always loved Alan Clarke, plus a good scrap as well wonderful 70's football.
Saturday night with Grandad and Match of the day, cup of tea and toast made on the coal fire ! Magical memories ! Don't tell me football is better now than back then !!! No chance !
I was at that game with my Chelsea mate .. Peter Osgood could look after himself, I'm a Gooner so you know I'm not biased and Hunter didn't want you know.. "bites yer legs"??? give it a rest... fans of Northern clubs like think they have all the hard men ...yeah right ..remember as a young boy of 13 seeing Osgood and also big Mickey Droy
What was that film with Lee Marvin with those 12 men , that was derby county very hard team to beat back then all started by Brian Clough winning the title ,who later took Nottingham forest another east Midlands club with some players from derby county to the title
I was 7 at the time and me and my brother were dropped off at his mates while the parents all spent Saturday night in the pub. There were eight of us lads all beside ourselves with excitement all evening because of the reports of the Lee v Hunter fight. Unfortunately for me I'd drank so much pop that night that I was bursting to go to the toilet for about 20 minutes. Predictably when I finally couldn't hold it and went to the toilet was the moment the fight happened. There were of course no video recorders and the post-match analysis only discussed it. I was gutted - made worse by all the other lads telling me I'd never see that fantastic moment in football ever. Thank god for the Internet and TH-cam which has now righted the wrongs of that piss from nearly 50 years ago ❤
I feel a bit sorry for fans who have only known the premier League days. In the first division almost every club had some seriously great players. And none of them would embarrass themselve by diving.
I was there! I remember my father taking me and my brother to the game! And let me tell you, for a start it was 1976/77 not 75/76, and secondly it wasn't Derby County vs Leeds but Derby County vs Bolton Wanderers. And the final score was 1-0. But I remember the fight and everything.
George Best remarked that if you played Leeds, you would have lumps kicked out of you on the pitch, and after the match going down the tunnel, Don Revie (manager) would also kick you! Jimmy Greaves recalled that before a game against Leeds, getting ready to come out of the tunnel, Bremner came over and kicked him on the shin! A shocked Greavsie asked "Why?" and Bremner replied "Because I can!".... Psycho!
pretty boys more bothered about their hair than digging in for a battle, i cant think of one prem player who would have made it in the 70's, obviously the game has changed but not for the better, too much cheating and diving now, in those days players blatently took the legs away from you
I'm Derby through and through. But make no mistake, Frannie knew what he was doing when he went down in the box. What a match though. What entertainment. I was just 12 at the time and was on the Pop-side to witness it.
I doubt Lee would have got that today with VAR. Hunter leaned into him a little bit (shoulder barge) but there was no contact between feet and that was the spark that annoyed Hunter. At 4.44 as Lee ran into the box and fired off a shot Hunter can just be seen raising his folded arms for Lee to run into. That tactic is know the world over as a definite fighting gesture.
What I love most is that somebody throws a punch, and there aren't 10 players and 8 substitutes rushing to the scene as if someone was murdered....just one relaxed team mate asking why he was upset 😂
Oh and here is the ONE . All the lovely comments and memories, and then there just has to be ONE who has to bring racism into it. Give it a rest. Please.

What a player , got a nice dig in on bite your legs too .
Call me nostalgic but watching this game & listening to John Motson is a great tonic
I,m so old I remember when this was a huge match between these two. Always remember Francis Lee being the first diving cheat I ever saw playing football. Distinctly recall his low flying techniques at Tottenham when playing for Man City in the 1969/70 season. He was soundly booed for the rest of the game.
Ah, the china man, Lee One Pen.
Not by City fans mate.
@@peterstubbs5934 That would be true.
Hunter was a recognised tough man. Rarely mentioned in these conversations is Francis Lee. Often mentioned in dressing rooms and after dinner speeches as one of the toughest players out there.
Oh so why did he go over so easy in the penalty area.
People remember the fights but often forget how skilful the players were, especially considering the heavy pitches and leather ball.
Frannie Lee took a very good dive for that penalty. He deserved an Oscar !!
It was a clear penalty. No doubts whatsoever. Hunter was sucked in like the thoughtless mug he always was 😆
He was the best diver ever to play the game
@@Twobee-sf4ml lol and I thought it was only Johnny Foreigners dived 🤣🤣🤣
🤣True, but I'm not sure it's his best work - it has so much competition!
His nickname was the Chinaman because every week the scores read Lee pen 1.
Yes, I was only a kid in the 70s but I once remember going to a fight....... and a football match broke out 😂😂😂😂😂❤ fxxxxxx love it... BOOOOOM, happy days
A great Leeds side. That bit of skill from Clarke at 9:26 was sublime. Denied a goal by some brilliant defending. Cruijffesque. And I'm a lifelong Man Utd supporter. Hunter was obviously niggled by that dive from Frannie Lee, that won Derby the penalty, culminating in both players being sent off for fighting.
I’ve shared this video just for Clarke’s skill.
Classic...50yrs later and most of those names easily remembered...including John Motson commentating..., "hard lines" I'd forgotten that saying lol
I remember everyone at school talking about this game. Jimmy Hill announced that Match of the Day would never show this match again. Fast forward a few decades and we can watch it as often as we like.
@@geoffpoole483 as often as we want because its how the game was played by non-balerinas....
I have no interest in football whatsoever. I recall some of the names here so I thought I’d give it a look. Absolutely fantastic game! Awesome skills, passionate, heartfelt and hard-fought.
They were tough guys and that was a tough battle. Really enjoyed this video.
Great footage. Don't remember the fight. So good to hear Motty's voice.
Didn't Roger Davies score a hat trick at Spurs in a cup game that went into extra time. Derby came back from 3-1 down to win 5-3 in that match.
You are correct. I am a Tottenham fan and I can still vividly recall that game .
@@Kevin-lf4xx Same here. Not a good night for me. 51,000 in the ground.
Many years later, Lee was watching a match at Elland Road, when a voice called out "Oi Frannie, do you wanna finish that fight?" He looked round and it was Hunter. They were able to have a good laugh about it.
Forgot Charlie George went to Derby.
Gotta love that old Leeds team - though I hated them at the time.
Great days!
It looked to me like Hunter was happy to throw a punch when he was in numbers but when there was just the two of them he was back-peddling and not so brave after all. He bottled it!
That was Leeds all over, but they stuck together.
Bunch of sissies
Lee dived but when told he was a told the truth he was a diver he started throwing hes little punches with hes little fists.
@@moosey62 Yeah - like dog shit.
In case people are wondering why anybody would want to watch these unknown teams... they were great once. Back in the day, they were top tier.
They’re not unknown
They didn't have sugar daddy's money to keep them at the top.
Charlie George ...one of ours ....a legend xx
The goal against Barcelona. Wow! The goal he scored for Arsenal against Man City was another. A player with rare skill.
With a perm lol
Brilliant in the air too . Superb.
The first match I ever went to as a kid was Nottm Forest v Arsenal in 1971 at the City Ground. Charlie George was centre forward for Arsenal that day.
Its a very good game. Im romanian and this game is amazing. Much more entertaining than todays games. In those days you had to be very skilled to play in those football pitches . In early 2000s when romanian football pitches were still very bad the western teams players had problems playing in them because they were not used to them anymore.
In addition, the balls were heavy to start with and even heavier when they got wet.
at 3.50, ''Charlie George, who scored two against REAL MADRID in midweek ( for Derby County! )'' ...Just an amazing fixture for Derby to be involved with by todays standards.
A lot of gamechangers on both sides here: Gemmill, Clark, Charlie George, Billy Bremner, Francis Lee...for me and my generation these were the Golden Years, never improved on.
Look at the build up of play / shot on goal by Franny Lee leading up to the first part of the Lee / Hunter clash. Billy Bremner twice, has a kick at Lees ankles from behind, Bremner then runs off, leaving his "enforcer" Norman Hunter to cut Lee off, who by this time was after Bremner seeking retribution. The whole thing was started by Billy Bremner. Brian Clough was right!
BRIAN CLOUGH WAS ALWAYS RIGHT !😉
Sounds correct, Brenner was a clever bastard. Yugoslavia!
@@robinstevenson1098whos brenner wouldn't you think when your making up lies about someone you'd know how to spell their name.
I was at the game as a Leeds fan.Always great atmosphere in the compact baseball ground.
A time when no backdoor deals exist...at least in English football, just passion and nothing else
You’re joking right? Revie and Clough both had credible allegations of corruption against them. Match fixing and bungs were everywhere at that time.
"And let's hope the good football which the fans are applauding is what this game is remembered for, rather than the unfortunate non-football incident..."
Yeh. Good luck with that, Motty!
two great teams, forgot how good Charlie George was, also Archie Gemmill, Lorimer much better than I remember, always loved Alan Clarke, plus a good scrap as well wonderful 70's football.
Motd at its very best.
I’m a Derby fan but what a game by two great teams…..proper players punch up and a few pints after 🍻 👊🏻😎
Franny Lee doing his best Tom Daley impression. Charlie George class act. Wee Archie fronting Bremner. Great times
Saturday night with Grandad and Match of the day, cup of tea and toast made on the coal fire ! Magical memories ! Don't tell me football is better now than back then !!! No chance !
I remember Hunter running away from Peter Osgood very clearly. Brave man. Not a coward and definitely not dirty.
I was at that game with my Chelsea mate .. Peter Osgood could look after himself, I'm a Gooner so you know I'm not biased and Hunter didn't want you know.. "bites yer legs"??? give it a rest... fans of Northern clubs like think they have all the hard men ...yeah right ..remember as a young boy of 13 seeing Osgood and also big Mickey Droy
@@elgonm289 Leeds though they were hard but, Chelsea had some players who could mix it, to name a few, Osgood, Hutchinson, Harris, Webb and McCreadie
@@jameswiglesworth5004 Most teams did in those days; Tommy Smith, Peter Storey and the like
Hard men became a dying breed after the 70's
Osgood couldn't look after himself the day big jack went gunning for himHe was in jack's little black book sunshine@@elgonm289
i Remember it as Though it was Yesterday When Men Were Men and Colin Todd was one of the Best Centre Back's i ever Saw
He was the best . Toddy .
He wasn't what you'd call a prolific goal scorer but Roger Davies scored some crackers
oh I miss the 70s. Good times. My parents bought a house in Littleover, Derby in 2000, then Colin Todd bought the one opposite but one.
Lol, those were the days ... Franny could handle himself alright, he was like a little terrier when someone fired him up !
Great game though it was, it will always be remembered more for that incident between Franny Lee and Norman Hunter.
Those grounds were so much more atmospheric compared to now.
Yep, just a disaster waiting to happen. What possibly could go wrong?🤔
3:50 What a good penalty taker, Charlie George.
Good old John Motson ! RIP....
every match in the 70's would of had atleast 2 sent off, if they were played today, much more physical back then.
And here I was thinking Jamie vardy invented the lazy leg simulated dive only to be confronted with Lee's shocking dive 😅
What was that film with Lee Marvin with those 12 men , that was derby county very hard team to beat back then all started by Brian Clough winning the title ,who later took Nottingham forest another east Midlands club with some players from derby county to the title
Great game between proper footballers. And unusually, a Baseball Ground with grass!
Interesting comment re grass. Always seem to remember that the 2 grounds that never seem to have grass then were Derby and West Ham. No idea why.
Worst pitch also crappy stadium
The contested Franny Lee penalty, just what does VAR say?
Great game - great times.
Agreed! How did we manage without all the foreigners we have in the game today?
I was 7 at the time and me and my brother were dropped off at his mates while the parents all spent Saturday night in the pub. There were eight of us lads all beside ourselves with excitement all evening because of the reports of the Lee v Hunter fight. Unfortunately for me I'd drank so much pop that night that I was bursting to go to the toilet for about 20 minutes. Predictably when I finally couldn't hold it and went to the toilet was the moment the fight happened. There were of course no video recorders and the post-match analysis only discussed it. I was gutted - made worse by all the other lads telling me I'd never see that fantastic moment in football ever. Thank god for the Internet and TH-cam which has now righted the wrongs of that piss from nearly 50 years ago ❤
I feel a bit sorry for fans who have only known the premier League days. In the first division almost every club had some seriously great players. And none of them would embarrass themselve by diving.
This is sarcasm, yes? In case it's not, just take a look at Greg bloody Louganis playing number 9 for Derby.
I was there! I remember my father taking me and my brother to the game! And let me tell you, for a start it was 1976/77 not 75/76, and secondly it wasn't Derby County vs Leeds but Derby County vs Bolton Wanderers. And the final score was 1-0. But I remember the fight and everything.
Eh???? think you were at the wrong game mate!
And it won't get dark tonight.....!
Well, that's nothing I can do anything about.@@bazbarrett8103
Quality battling from Frankie. Hunter bottled it one on one
George Best remarked that if you played Leeds, you would have lumps kicked out of you on the pitch, and after the match going down the tunnel, Don Revie (manager) would also kick you!
Jimmy Greaves recalled that before a game against Leeds, getting ready to come out of the tunnel, Bremner came over and kicked him on the shin! A shocked Greavsie asked "Why?" and Bremner replied "Because I can!".... Psycho!
There's more excitement in this one game than an entire season of poofy Premier League matches!
pretty boys more bothered about their hair than digging in for a battle, i cant think of one prem player who would have made it in the 70's, obviously the game has changed but not for the better, too much cheating and diving now, in those days players blatently took the legs away from you
Cos full of foreigners.
Not true though it is
Would love to see the full match
Great win for the Rams but I wonder if Franny used "Bite Yer Legs'" reputation to get a penalty. If there was a trip, it didn't look intentional.
I'm Derby through and through. But make no mistake, Frannie knew what he was doing when he went down in the box. What a match though. What entertainment. I was just 12 at the time and was on the Pop-side to witness it.
@@TheGlassman63 My first visit to the BBG was the 8-2 win over Spurs. How things could go so wrong after that remains a mystery !
I doubt Lee would have got that today with VAR. Hunter leaned into him a little bit (shoulder barge) but there was no contact between feet and that was the spark that annoyed Hunter. At 4.44 as Lee ran into the box and fired off a shot Hunter can just be seen raising his folded arms for Lee to run into. That tactic is know the world over as a definite fighting gesture.
3:25 That look from Hunter. RIP to both.
What I love most is that somebody throws a punch, and there aren't 10 players and 8 substitutes rushing to the scene as if someone was murdered....just one relaxed team mate asking why he was upset 😂
The days when men played as men and were expected and allowed too. Wonderful.
Great memory Franny Lee scrapping with Hunter. Great players back then. Soft as putty now aren't they?
You can imagine the conversation now if fisticuffs did break out, not the face and watch my hair, i'm doing a commercial Monday.
Strange how this footage has a sort of vignette feel to it around the edge of the frame these days.
this was when teams were full of brits
Yes and when racism was rife too in English football and FA too
Openly and unashamedly
Ask the Cunningham's and Regis's
Oh and here is the ONE . All the lovely comments and memories, and then there just has to be ONE who has to bring racism into it. Give it a rest. Please.
No fannies foreigners.
More interesting was the football then.
I as 16 when this happened and my older brother and I watched open mouthed the fight on Match of the Day.
What a dive by Gemmill
I never tire of watching the Davies goal beat dirty Leeds. 😂
