Summary: A "classic" for sure
Comment: I find myself writing this some 18 years after I bought the video on its initial release (and the tape is wearing fast - get moving, Auntie Beeb, how about a DVD?). And my view remains that this, surely, is the definitive visual account of Leeds' finest years.
A great deal is packed into its 90 minutes - and the viewer is treated to countless goals and action from the BBC's wealth of archives from those 10 magnificent years.
It is also serves as a reminder - as though one were needed - of how many times Leeds fell at the final hurdle. Eleven times, to be exact - and the video at times gives more than a hint that a few of those losses were not confined to just bad luck or being outplayed on the day.
Johnny Giles, as ever, appears occasionally to give his view on certain important moments - such as the infamous West Brom league game in 1971, and the FA's decision not to give Leeds a few days' rest before the 1972 Cup Final.
The only disappointment - from a personal point of view - is the lack of detail over the sacking of Brian Clough. All it mentions is the fact that "he lasted only 44 days". However, I suppose it's a football video, after all, and it's all the goals and action that count.
The video ends with some footage of the players' get-together in 1987 for Don Revie, by that time sadly stricken with Motor-Neurone disease.
I have no hesitation in giving this video a 5-star rating. It's certainly a classic, and must-have not just for Leeds fans, but for any lover of the great football era of 1965-75.

Summary: The best Leeds Utd Video to date
Comment: This video shows just how dominant Leeds were during the glory years, without actually picking up their just rewards. As a Leeds fan I have bought this video 3 times over the years and that should tell you how many times it gets watched. The only video to show the famous match Vs Southampton where Leeds thrashed them before playing keep ball in a fashion that would put even Man Utd to shame today. A must for any Leeds Utd Fan. This team was the original "UNITED" long before the mantle was usurped by Manchester.

Summary: This video should be owned by every Leeds fan!
Comment: I saw this video when Leeds were still messing about in the 2nd division ( now 1st division ) and it showed how big a football club Leeds United were and still are. Leeds ruled the english game without winning the prizes that they deserved with their dominance over the game, in Europe Leeds reached 5 finals and 7 semi-finals in the period of 1965-75. This is the video to own if you're a Leeds fan. Leeds ruled football in these glory years even though they didn't win all the cups and championships they were the team everybody wanted to beat! This video has got all the important footage of this great period of football history, with interviews from Leeds players it's a must for all football fans.
