Francis Lee was superb in that game

young for city very underated imo,looks like a modern day midfielder.Spurs were our bogey side(Leeds)back then

[@davidgbarron]

It's amazing that on both sides there is one player both sides got rid of. For Manchester City Ian Bowyer, who would go on to so much success with Nottingham Forest in the 1970s and 80s. For Tottenham Hotspur, Pat Jennings who after leaving would go on to success with Arsenal and then play for Northern Ireland in two World Cup Finals.

Those were the days...before haircuts and football kits became silly. Francis Lee was superb mind you Pat Jennings had a blinder in goal for Spurs.

[@CHEESYhairyGASH]

people, check out the throw at 6:17 that is some throw with next to no run up, and a heavier ball than the one used today. step aside rory delap

[@bekindunlimited]

Pat Jennings really was the best keeper in the world

[@MyFootballFacts]

Great game and some fantastic memories, even if Spurs did get a good hiding that day.

Alan Gilzean,world class.

[@Claymor621]

Good vid even for a neutral. Two entertaining sides. I notice the bogrolls getting chucked and you can hear a couple of gas rattles, that dates it.

[@poitrenaud]

@brownsrd16 never more truthful words--I agree--NOW it is a game of and Misfits
Here, it was still an honorable game-
Honorable Players

Can you imagine 90+% of modern Premiership central defenders caught one-on-one against Jimmy Greaves w/the ball at his feet?

[@danpotter387]

Some of the tackling is a bit "tasty" though! I bet a lot of careers were ended prematurely because players got no protection.
