7 Greatest English Football Teams of All Time

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- From the Manchester United team from 2006 to 2009, to the great Liverpool sides of the 1970s and 80s, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the finest teams in the history of the English game over a three-year period.
As a Liverpool fan, if context is really taken into account, I think Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest side should have made it. Nevermind winning the league, league cup and back to back European cups, but doing it after just having being promoted from the second tier (not too unsimilar to Leicester's own fairytale if you ask me). Jose Mourinhos first Chelsea team should have made it too, IMO, those bastards won loads of trophies and were incredibly solid at the back.
That Forest achievement will never be topped... for a very very long time
KennethTucker on,y seem to care about 1992 premier league start then teams powerhouse before that
The Liverpool team they beat to win Div 1 and knock out of the European cup were increadibly strong to, so it makes Forest's achievement even more amazing.
@@luscifer_reborngg2193 wdym over half the teams were from before the premier league started
Why do people always say "as an X fan"? It is most often irrelevant to what they're going to say next.
Neville/Caragher: Do not include teams prior to 1955
Hitc Sevens: punching the air
You should have included the Chelsea side of '04 - '07
@@jamesonfarrell7970 its the best english teams
even in term of over the world, 1950's Real Madrid had no chance against 1960's Santos, especially in this channel :))
Anthony Suarez do you know anything about football
@Dutch van der Linde
Franco was the reason that that Real were losing the League title to Atletico Madrid(Franco was an Atletico fan)
But I can't understand what Real is doing here...
2004-'10
Aston Villa should have been an "honourable mention". I would have included Nottingham Forrest 1977/78 to 1979/80 easily in the Top 7. Two European Cups, 1 League Title and 2 League Cups. In an era of almost total Liverpool dominance this was the only team that could stand up to and beat them. As a Liverpool fan they scared the **** out of me.
Liverpool and Utd have had some bloody remarkable teams. For as much as the bitter rivalry the two share, they also share some huge similarities in dominance.
Seven examples of great players who missed out on their countries golden generation i.e. Laszlo Kubala and Istvan Nyers for Hungary during the early to mid 1950s or Raul for Spain in the late 2000s.
starting from today I will put list the most requested videos here each week to let him see our video ideas, so please do not be angry if I take your idea because I just want to show HITC sevens the ideas and not to claim it as mine:

worst XI to have a PL medal
please give a like and also a suggestion below if you have other suggestions
Your sacrifice will be remembered forever 👍🏻
Also I have an idea: A XI of players from the bottom half of the prem (teams from 11 to 20) is it good?
What a guy you are
Every ajax striker since cruijff😂 thats gonna take. Long
Day 9: What could’ve been East Germany XI (of current players e.g. Kroos / Schmelzer?)
Liverpool was pretty much great the whole period from 1975-1990, they won 21 trophies during this period. That is 15 years with greatness, and not only 3, and even the seasons they did not win the league they always became number 2 except one season 1981.
Then went to gave 30 years drought with the league
@@diinomaaxiand
day 8: Roman empire starting XI if it was reunited
That's literally the whole countries that border the Mediterranean Sea and that's like 20+ countries, so I highly doubt he's going to do that. But it can be a good test for Alfie so...🤷
But you’d have to specify the time period, they annexed areas and lost areas in different centuries
Hey, can you do “Spurs’es last trophies team in the final, where are they now ? ( not the Audi Cup, the EFL Cup )
Is the EFL cup now not a trophy?
@@oscarcrichton6194 I think that meant the team of EFL Cup and not of the Audi Cup
If ur talking about 1st division trophies then they are all currently in a grave
Retired lol
you mean the trophy they celebrated like they had won the world cup???....hahhaha lmfao...honestly...go back and see how they celebrated winning the three handled tinpot cup
Hitc sevens growing faster than Hitc sport right now.
Sports its just a comedy channel.
That’s because Alfie got told to start telling people to subscribe 😂
regiment589 they have some good videos that aren’t just comedy
Nah the guy tatooed with Bamford remains legendary
Day 4: Current Atalanta Squad, where were they 5 years ago
Where were they seven years ago
Just a serious question but how was 04-07 chelsea not included?
I was thinking that too. I'm not a Chelsea fan but that team was one of the most efficient ever teams.
Because Utd were better from
06-09
Namo Enright 95 points?? 91 points?? 37 conceded over 2 seasons? I’m a Spurs fan but that team was phenomenal
Namo Enright we held the record in 04/05 of 95 points until city broke it
Only really won the league not any cups, e.g. fa cup, champions league, etc.
Chelsea mourinho team in the early 2000s cmon they want unbeaten at home 4 years and revolutionised premier league to 433 formation????
The side that kept around 30 clean sheets, 15 goals coincided and not in top 7. This guy is a joke with his "opinions". For example they would destroy that 2001-2005 arsenal
Kun Aguero you’re a joke with your opinions... Stop flipping over a TH-cam video and go make yourself a brew
Kun Aguero come on not a chance 😂
@@MrToxicVenom The invincibles would desroy any side in pl history other than 07/08 or 99 treble united teams
@@timothytimothy213Invincibles 3 matches against ManUTD 0 wins 2 draws 1 loss
Everytime someone talks about great teams of the past i get sad because i miss Nottingham Forest so much in the PL...! :(
Day 9: What could’ve been East Germany XI (of current players e.g. Kroos / Schmelzer?)
Probably full of no name players except kroos
Boateng
Very shocked that Chelsea of the mid naughties didnt even get a mention.

During which in 04/05, 05/06 and 06/07 alone, the blues raked in six pieces of silverware.
Day 16: Surinamese XI if all eligible players declared for them
It's just Dutch players, I don't see the excitement in that. A Dutch XI without overseas players or with another national team would be more interesting. But then you would have to exclude people who are from that nation and can just choose multiple nationalities because the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Wijnaldum are born and have grown up in the Netherlands.
can they be retired? anyways there's a lot of dutch quality from suriname. how can I pack edgar davids, kluivert, guulit and riijkard in?
Hey Alfie how about doing this type of video but not only England
The man covers football from the 1800s like he watches it as if it's still happening today
I don't think he has time for any other leagues 🤣🤣
Plus we all know that Real Madrid’s squad of the late 1950’s will be no. 1 🤷🏻♂️
Jameson Farrell I think the Barca teams of the late 2000s and early 2010s under Pep were better but it’s a toss up for 1st between those Barca teams and the Real team of the 50s..
Charlie Charlie that barcelona isn’t even better than Butragueño’s Real Madrid
Pachucafan773 The team literally won 6 trophies in one year.
Most overachieving English teams over the 3 years!
Would love to learn about other Leicester stories!
Leicester, Sheffield utd, wolves, Wycombe, Newcastle
There was quite a lot this year
There are no other Leicester stories
S-B good point, but when I say Leicester stories I mean stories that are like one one hundredth as amazing as 2015-2016
I feel Man City 2017-18, 2018-19 deserved a place in the list. They broke numerous records and finished almost 100 points in consecutive seasons, 2018 season ending 2 points short. Do agree lack of European success haunts them but they were phenomenal in domestic competitions.
Mourinho's Chelsea too deserved a place in the list. Altogether I feel the ranking system used in the video is not satisfactory as decades ago teams didn't have so many competitions running side by side and maintaining consistency got difficult especially since last decade with teams getting all stacked fixtures.
Nah but the problem is city dont win any titles back to back, i think they come in alternating years
@@TheTruthNEGFTW they won them back to back
Stacked fixtures mean most of teams used their backup team for the domestic cup competitions, big teams only concentrate in EPL or CL, that's why Man City's lack of CL is the problem. I think if this City team played before 1950s, they would definately derseve a spot.
the last 8 domestic trophies? city have smashed it domestically over the last 3 years, like no other...this guy is a plonker not worth listening to anymore
3 League Cup and 2 Community Shield in 8 trophies and they won only League Cup this season, for me this season is underwhelming for them.
Sorry if you're City fan but you don't have to be toxic like that
And that's why my dad thinks Widzew Łódź from early 80s is the best team in Poland of all time. They actually had beaten THAT Liverpool.
Yep. True.
I agree they were a very good side especially at home, beat lfc and united in the 80s🙏👍
Remake: Best 11 of players right now
I'll do it for you: Oblak; Robertson; VVD and Ramos; Trent; Kimmich; Casemiro; KDB; Mane; Lewandowski; Messi Edit: I didn't know who to put for CM so I just put Casemiro but there are probably better players.
@@ichezee1138 I would put sancho over mane he has been incredible this season and kante over casemiro
dmad06 Sancho/Mane is preference, I’d still go with Mane, but no way is Kante better than Casemiro this season.
NordReds Agreed.
@@ichezee1138 Muller?
1888 Preston’s team are very underrated imo, but I guess I’m just a hipster like that, now excuse me while I go watch highlights of the 1995 Tranmere Rovers team.
Big love to TRFC🤍💙
The original invincibles
Huddersfield from 1920s deserve a big shout
Chelsea 2004/05 - 2006/07.
2 PL, 1 League cup, 1 FA Cup, 2 CL semi finals.
Honorable mention?
Yeah and having the 68 united team in 7th is ridiculous and should be at least at 2nd

Emphasis on ghost goal
Liverpool and Manchester United are always considered rivalry, but the thing is two team never reached their peak at the same time.
Manchester United's peak in late 90s and 2000s was the time Liverpool struggled, while Liverpool's peak in 1980s and now was the time MU played underwhelming.
It is a rivalry that we haven't seen the best of them :))
Late 60s they both had good teams. Liverpool won the league in 66 I believe when the team 7th on this list finished 4th. Also there were times when one was first and the other was second in the 70s, 80s and 2000s.
Chelsea 04-10, Cloughs Forest.... I mean not even an honourable mention?
What? Man Utd won almost as many Premier League trophies and the Champions League in that time. Also, what did Chelsea win in 2004?
errr....you didnt watch the video. fail.
Utd 4 the league Utd 4 the league yeah, Forest late 70’s
Forest deserved to be in the list.
dude didn’t even mention chelsea 2003/2006 arguably the best single season in the prem history where they conceded only 16 goals in 2005 lol
But u lost
Liverpool only conceded 16 goals in 78/79...and that was a 42 game season...
Who in that video are they going to get in over?
15 goals*
What? better than losing 0 league games? Delusional

Awesome vid mate 👏
It’s been out for 3 minutes?
it seems fitting to watch this video right after Liverpool have lifted the Premier League title, back on our perch!
2018/19- Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup
2019/20- Premier League
2020/21-?
Liverpool's Super Cup and Club World Cup victories weren't won in the same season as the Champions League though compared to what Real Madrid did who won all three in the same season and did it on two occasions which is crazy.
Personally think the Forest team that won the First division and 2 European Cups plus beating Barcelona in the Super Cup should've made the top 7. They knocked Bob Paisley's great Liverpool team off their perch and at the time set the record for the longest unbeaten run in English football. They were the epitome of a team and not a bunch of superstar footballers..Just my opinion though.
Not sure where to put them but Leeds (60s & 70s)and
Wolves (50s) surely need some recognition
The seven greatest fa cup miracles
1987 Coventry City FC vs Tottenham Hotspur
Leeds United have won three English league titles, one FA Cup, one League Cup, two Charity/Community Shields and two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups. The club reached the 1975 European Cup Final, losing to Bayern Munich. Leeds reached the semi-finals of the tournament's successor, the Champions League in 2001.
Don Revie's Leeds? 💛💙💛💙 Atleast requires a mention!
Yeah, I was surprised Leeds didn't get a mention considering not only their domination of English football in the late 1960's and early 1970s but also for their inclusion of several World Cup winners in the squad.
@@as680783 exactly...plus now we're even back. It's not like you could have forgotten us. This was exclusion!
Man Utd fan, here, and FINALLY, we have someone actually agreeing with me that our mid 2000s team was stronger than our 1999 team. Yes, we all have fond memories of 1999, but I had never been as big a fan of the club as I was during those mid 2000s. That was probably the time in which my connection to the club was at its strongest.
That team is also arguably the reason why Man Utd became a massive draw and box office worldwide in which they become a global brand.
One thing that isn't appreciated is how hard the league was to win in the 90s. If you dropped points it wasn't just because you played bad, but the other team played well. There have been times teams lay down and died against the title contending teams since 2000s. Hell even the season after the trebble United got worse and still hit 91 winning their last XI games. 12 points better but with a worse squad. Schmeichel out, Blomquvist, Johnsen and Brown injured all season. New signings Bosnich, Taibi, Fortune and, Silvestre were brought in. Silvestre was the best of these players brought in.
I can't say 2008 was an uncompetative season though due to the high scoring points of every team that isnt Derby County.
I like both teams for different reasons, but I do think it is harder to see the smaller teams in 08 challenging United as much as 99. Main reason is tactics as Keane and Scholes for how great they were did spend a lot of games on the verge of being overrun by stronger midfields and 99 is more a counter attacking side. By 03 they had converted to a possession 3 man midfield side and the play was different.
Day 4: Best player from every London Borough
This season as of the time I type out this comment Liverpool are World, European and English Champions with a European super cup thrown in for good measure.
That United team from 06-09 has to win it for me
Congratulations on 300k Alfie
Nice one Alfie. Thanks for mentioning Aston Villa of the 1890s 😁. A good one would be 7 countries most likely to win FIFA world cup in future that haven't won already. Reasons such as rich history, growing popularity, large population, etc
(eg, USA, Netherlands, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria)
Based purely upon population and resources = China
@@archstanton6102 China has only qualified for 1 world cup in 2002 and hasn't a long history of popularity. Yes its growing there and could be an honorable mention
@@emmetthynes1397 Japan will never win a WC as their lack of physicality means they cannot compete with European players.
On your list the best chance is USA.
@@archstanton6102 you can't say that Japan were unlucky in last world cup vs Belgium. They also got to rugby world cup quarters last year which is a far more physical sport.
The main disadvantage for African teams is poverty as they wont be able to get world class coaches. Still Nigeria has over 200m people and is expected to reach 400m by 2050

Thank you for mentioning the greatest everton team ever because some people seem to just bypass them because they didn't get the chance to compete in the European cup despite them dominating one of the best liverpool sides ever
True. From 84-87 Everton and liverpool were probably the best sides in Europe at the time.
Everton would of probably won the European cup in 86 if they were not banned.
Every1 who isn't an idiot knows everton and villa were huge clubs back in the day still the top 2 teams to appear in the 1st division more seasons than any other club
Don revie’s Leeds United deserved a place
liverpool were the first team in england to win a treble in 83/84....
You are right.
Great list yet again Alfie 👏👏
What about Preston North End from 1888-89 to 1890-91
Not a Liverpool fan but I’ve always said that the early 80s Liverpool were the best ever English team but not to have Nottingham Forest in this line up is criminal
Where's Revie's Leeds? your clueless
@elliot j that leeds team were consistently excellent, no doubt, but revie was manager for 13 years and they won 2 leagues (not in a 3 year span, as the video makes a rule,) and 1 FA Cup. The fairs cup is nothing.
@elliot j the fairs cup was kind of getting serious by the time Leeds were in it, but it still wasn't as strong as the uefa cup became. Finishing 2nd is great, I've said the Leeds side were excellent, but we're talking about winning big trophies. The fairs cup is a weaker version of the already 2nd best European competition.
Liverpool were properly "robbed" of a European cup, all teams from that era have those stories. Facts are you didn't win them.
Excellent side, only won 3 major trophies in 13 years though.
Leeds were hated, that's why. Their loss to Bayern was a bit harsh but it felt good.
You’re.
Interesting, I’m quite pleased and very impressed how far back in history you went too. Well done with the research
As a Chelsea fan I am I can't believe they were not at least an honourable mention. There's even an argument to be made for making the 7. Set a new standard for points. Ridiculous defensive record, that still stands today I think. Back to back titles, only Ferguson had managed that at the time. Fa cup, league cup. 2 cl semis. Only lost 1 game the first title winning season. And despite what people say, the football was not that bad. Duff, robben and Cole were a sight to see on the counter. Lanpards rifles and late runs into the box, drogba bullying whole back lines on his own. Essiens world class box to box play, makelele had a whole role named after him. I can definitely put those 3 years up against arsenals
Where are Don Revie’s Leeds side, Mourinho’s early Chelsea team and the Preston Invincibles? They beat Hyde 26-0! Clough’s Forest should also be in the list, not honourable mentions.
Spurs’ early 60s don’t get an honourable mention!?
One could argue that at the time they where better than the Busby babes with the fact that they did the double and won European silverware before any British team. If they managed to get past Benfica in the semi final and go on to win the European cup as the third ever club in Europe then it would be a different story now.
Shocking isn't it? One of the most underrated sides
@@billyoneill7381 UEFA Cup isn't as impressive as the European Cup though. Also being the first do win something doesn't make you better...winning more does
The fact United has 3 almost 4 teams and Liverpool 2, just shows that United is a much bigger club
Deluded Haha
Hahahahaha
United a much bigger club? PMSL If we use the weighting mentioned (though include fairer runners up points: CL (3) > BPL (2) > EL (1)), I doubt Utd would get close to Liverpool. 9 CL finals for Liverpool (6 wins) to Utd's 5 (3 wins)??? 4 EL equivalent finals for Liverpool (3 wins) to 2 finals (2 wins) for Utd? It's crystal clear who the biggest club is Tim. :D
If you did a Scottish edition of this, the main candidates would be: 1 Celtic (1966-67 to 1968-69), 2 Aberdeen (1982-83 to 1984-85), 3 Hibernian (1950-51 to 1952-53), 4 Hearts (1957-58 to 1959-60), 5 Rangers (1975-76 to 1977-78), 6 Celtic (2000-01 to 2002-03), 7 Rangers (1991-92 to 1993-94).
I’ve always regretted we won the treble without Cantona. He’s my favorite player ever and started my lifetime love of United

6 biggest english teams !! 1 Pool 2 United 3 Forest 4 Villa 5 Chelsea 6 Arsenal
Liverpool during the early 80s fucking annihilates anyone. Like this list was over a 3 year period but if you included a 4th year to include the 1980-81 season, it means Liverpool between the 1980-81 and the 1983-84 won 3 consecutive league titles, 4 consecutive league cups, 2 european cups and 2 charity shields. Like no one even comes close. Total and utter dominance
City became the first team to get 100 points in an English top flight season. They turn followed it up by being the first team to win the domestic treble the season after. They comfortably belong on the list.
They were also the first team to get 100 points threw billionaires lol, just a joke mate, ur right city have had some good teams and the current team is a good team I think they can smash real Madrid if they take there chancers with Harland any things possible mate I am saying this because wen city last played real Madrid in that semi final they didn't take there chances this time they will do I am sure real got two injury time goals, godbless you
Agree with the comments on Forest they should have been on the list not sure who for though very well compiled.
Congratulations on 300K subscribers Alfie!
Best homegrown XI in premier league. (This means players that played for more than 3 years in England before the age of 21.)
The best ever liverpool side for one season (not the subject of the video, but you did say the 84 was the best one season) was probably the 87-88 side. Started the season with a record (at the time) 29 game unbeaten run (completely unheard of in the ultra compeitive division 1 of the time,) and cantered to the league title, in what could have been record fashion, had they not finished with a load of draws and a couple of defeats once the league was basically over, and got to the FA cup final beating top division 1 teams all the way, before surprisingly losing to wimbledon.
The best "evidence" for this though, would be them annihilating rival league contdenders notts forest 5-0, in what many believe to be the greatest ever performance by an english side. certainly, that's what many present said, including Sir Tom Finney, who said "It was the finest exhibition I've seen the whole time I've played and watched the game. You couldn't see it bettered anywhere, not even in Brazil. The moves they put together were fantastic."
Well said mate.
I think Villa had a great squad in the late 70s early 80s.

300 k dude. Congrats!
This guy:the 7 best english teams of all time
Also this guy:eh I'll only add 3 teams
Mourinho's first time at Chelsea team was amazing and would be able to beat any of those. We should even take into account their opponents. Mourinho was against the invisibles Arsenal(that he never lost to by the way) , Ferguson's United and a Liverpool team that was Champions League winners. They were also one ghost goal away from a final that considering the tactica of play Milan had a disadvantage against Mourinho's Chelsea.
I know that Chelsea has not the best reputation because of defensive football but we are talking about the best team. Not the most enjoyable to watch. It is annoying that sometimes those two are confused...

Villa really were footballs first giant having won everything many times before the end of the nineteenth century, and of course it was Villa's William Mcgregor who created league football itself in 1888.

2 league titles and a runners up place.
Twice knocked out of the FA Cup by the previously mentioned Villa side.
I wonder why the 87/88 Liverpool team never gets its due now when every commentator worth his salt at the time declared that team to be the best ever seen domestically? It was magical pass and move football, light years ahead of everyone else, Pep Barcelona level of beauty.
I have seen Liverpool fans of old debate between whether it was the 68 point team from 78 or the 1988 team that was the best. Never heard someone say 82-84 before even though they dominated the period. In fairness 88 had a strong squad where they added Barnes and Beardsley it would put most strong sides to the top of the league just for the firepower threat alone. I didn't even mention Alderidge who replaced Rush that season.
7 best players who have never played in the Champions league
Le Tissier would be the best in my opinion
Pele
People were saying this Liverpool side could beat the invincables, they couldnt even beat the banter version
You'd be surprised
