Goals from Johnny Giles, Norman Hunter and Rod Belfitt brought the points back Up North for The Whites. Watch out for the Hunter thunderbolt, the kids on the park and the Jackie Charlton post match interview.

What a goal by Hunter! Thanks for uploading all these videos, a pleasure to watch. MOT
I’m a Leeds fan but in those days all teams played great football good old days . Loved old grounds
Great finish by Rod Belfitt here, doing precisely what a good striker should be doing, and moving in for the ball at the moment Lorimer shoots in anticipation of it being spilled by the keeper. Along with men like Mick Bates, Terry Hibbitt and Terry Yorath he was one of the understudies of that great Leeds side who rarely gets mentioned in the same breath as the Reaneys, Bremners, Hunters etc, but could always be relied upon when needed, as he shows here.
Regardless who you support there's some great players out there on both teams with household names like many teams in the 60s & 70s.
Upton Park , in the 60's-90's was a great compact ground , great atmosphere , especially under the floodlights . I use to love going there .
I loved going to Upton Park in the late 70s and early 80s. A great time with so many legends playing.
Never a bad match with a goal mouth practically in the stand. Really tight ground & Liverpool played great games there. All these grounds, Highbury, Upton Park, White Hart Lane bulldozed, Maine Rd & more. Old Trafford & Liverpool were tempted but stayed put sensibly.
Hunter with his right foot, Brooking with his head - what was going on???!!
The old Leeds owl badge was the best much better than the
the Leeds badge today.
Thanks Wafll,
Very exciting game-good win for Leeds at Upton Park.
Rod Belfitt is my uncle from south elmsall- Layton byrom
He was a good player
@5:03 Norman Hunter should've added thunderbolt to his repetoire of nicknames what a goal that was.
In my boyhood, I saw 'Uncle Norm' score a couple of 'screamers ' for Bristol City in his dotage. What a player. Still the best I've seen at Ashton Gate in 40 years!
Those 2 8 year old boys who run on pitch would get a criminal record today
When a goal is scored only Brian Moore gets excited like no one else can. Big Jack tells it as it is & should have managed Leeds when Don Revie left but no one asked him. Odd.
great game!!!
thats a great shout
Norman never did get credited for that first goal. MOT
I think that Eustace's disallowed goal was ruled out for a push on Charlton. The referee was in a good position but to me it looked a harsh decision. Notice how Charlton and Sprake had already harangued the ref for awarding a corner, and how that compared with West Ham's simple acceptance of the disallowed goal. Leeds intimidated rivals and refs alike at that time.
I wonder if Sprake bollocked Charlton for the mistake Jack made for WHU's first goal ? Gave Eustace a free header. Quick to blame others eh, Mr Charlton ?
Charlton made a crucial howler (as did Hunter) v West Brom in the infamous no offside match that cost Leeds the 71 title, whereas Sprake played well.
Interesting that at the start the great Brian Moore clearly has no idea that Jimmy Greaves had played his last ever league game.
I think he did once . . .
@@Marzy5821 I nearly understood that....
I bet Hunter couldn't believe his luck with a strike like that!
Hunter always scored like that, but there were rare he was too busy breaking your legs... RIP Norm!!
This was real football. When world was world...
The old goalposts were the best. Especially at Upton park. Now we are stuck with the tied back nets and no stanchions that have no class whatsoever. Oh for the old Wembley style nets and metal stanchions..
I was a bit of a Goal fetishist too I must admit ! Leeds circa 1975 were my favourites. I'm not joking. Stanchions and nets. A thing of wonder
The comment at the start about the absence of mainstays like Greaves and Moore was mass suspensions after most of the team got well oiled at a Blackpool night club before an FA Cup game
Why has no-one picked up on the fact this in black and white, 2 years after colour was introduced?
Has Paul Madeley ever played goalkeeper because Mr Versatility seems to have played every other position on the field?
I`ve seen a clip with Peter Lorimer on goal in the case goalkeeper was injured. Leeds played at Chelsea. I dont remember what was a result but it was not very good for Leeds
Chelsea 4 Leeds 0, 1972- happy day
6:08 kid runs onto pitch! LOL
These days they would say something like "West Ham might be a bit disappointed with their display today". Carlton: "they were the biggest pile of shit I've played against all season."
To beat Leeds you had to stop Giles and Bremner getting the ball. Then Hunter breaking your legs!!
Remember when Upton Park was a football stadium? It's all Hagen Daas West Aaaam naaaaaa... 45 years later, Bonds (??????? ) in his Daimler Sovereign pauses to watch beach volleyball in front of the sand castles and have a... or perhaps a Ben 'n' Jerries with a Fluffie Luvvie Flake and a Luft wafer.
Wonderful Leeds & no one likes us but we don't care..
West Ham had 3 world cup winners but did sod all for years after 66. The press tried to depict them as the footballing aesthetes bullied by the physical likes of Leeds and Liverpool. The truth was they saw themselves as self-styled football aristocrats - as Eamonn Dunphy skewered the once - but lacked the willingness to graft and sweat for results.
arse bandit Wrong , Bobby Moore said that they wanted a hard core centre half like Maurice Setters to give them a bit of ommph but Greenwood , who was a great coach and football think but unfortunately not a great motivator , wouldn't have it as he wanted it all fair and square .
Beat Leeds 7-0 1966 and revie WH would beaten Real Madrid to night!
Far kin ell Harry, bet you girlfriend/wife would have scored that 😲 🤣 😂
Disallowed goal for what nothing , load of bollocks.
Must admit it looked fine , im a leeds fan
It was 50 years ago, mate. Probably time to move on...
