[dalekshire]

Not a Leeds fan but that goal was total utter quality, never tire of watching it

[sheffieldlad9]

We all hate leeds scum!!!!!!

[sheffieldlad9]

Whatta Goal Haha !!! ;)

[lufcgradel1]

eddie gray woud easily show messi ronaldo how its done he didnt dive was loyal and a true athlete!

[walkingbyfaith777]

Just watched Maradona's goal against England in 86...Eddie jinks past more players on his goal

@GooseGreen82 Oh yeah Scotland had a conveyor belt of talent when i was younger, from the 60s through the 80s, but it's been declining for quite some time i think. I used to love the Home Championship and the England-Scotland match

[footyfan65]

what a fantastic player and a nice guy,genuine talent.robert jenkins comments are a joke ,he obviously knows f-all about fooball. whatever team you support a genuine fan will aknowledge talented players from other teams. i support leeds but the likes of george best,dalglish,greaves ,and many many others were great players,

robert jenkins i suggest you look at some football videos from this era you never know you might learn how the game is played

[TheMerseyBoy]

brilliant brilliant goal - what a footballer - would have loved him at Liverpool - though he was adored at Leeds anyway. 50 million Torres - 60 million for Eddie and I'm a Red through and through.

[ckcsucks]

I hope no one confuses Andy Gray with this Leeds legend.

[944drivers]

robertjenkins8 has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, and clearly never witnessed the Leeds side of 1969-74 first hand. I proffer that the only dumb prick/twat is actually robertjenkins8.

[Arandombear]

If Messi did that the bleating from the press would be deafening

[robertjenkins8]

You dumb leeds pricks! Yes Gray was a decent attacking player (the only one in that gutter team of thugs and big time bottlers) but to even compare him to Messi/Ronaldo when he is not even 5 PER CENT OF THEM is the height of retardedness. Worth 100 mill today? Dumb twat he would be about 8-10 mill.

Skill wise he's got nothing on them-yes this is a decent goal but Ronaldo/Messi do this about once every week and much much better.

[followtheapes]

@robertjenkins8

your name should be robert wanker.

respect to all the guys who play good football

[CHEESYhairyGASH]

oi andy gray you cunt thats how you do it

[stuartk]

And a lovely man to boot

[johnnyh2]

Even speaking as a Chelsea fan of the same era, I can say Eddie was class.

[alexdoherty1984]

To be fair it was very hard to get booked in the 60's and 70's as you were pretty much allowed to get away with on field GBH

[redmanthinks]

Just Art.

[d5m2t2k41]

A great goal from a true footballing legend & what makes that goal even more special ia that the opponents are that lot from just up the road (burnley)!

[lavish88]

The word legend is used far too easily these days-Eddie you are truly a legend-I was privileged to see you in the flesh-alongside Johnny Giles and Kevin Keegan you are the best three football players I have ever seen.

[cmelodicminor]

I believe this was scored in the second half. There was a wondefully eloquent goal Eddie scored in the first half too! Goalie was off his line, Eddie was way out there, saw it, and chipped him.

Sublime.

I'm sure it'll be here somewhere. It was Leeds v Burnley...

[MrValiant61]

and he did that on a cabbage patch of a pitch.

[absting1]

We need leeds back in the top flight of english football... That goal is a gem...I loved those days, mist over the grounds,all white strip without logos...

[prescient8]

Eddie was as brilliant a player as any you could ever wish to see. If he'd played for a more 'fashionable' club and had been less unlucky with a recurring thigh injury he'd be universally regarded as a footballing legend, which is no less than his awesome skills and professionalism deserved.

[JordanLuFcX]

Thats one of the best GOALS you'll ever see!

M.o.T

[applebeatle]

That's one of the best PLAYERS you'll ever see.

M.O.T.

[supergunner07]

good feints and dragbacks

[liamm1701]

Eddie Gray was great, however he was injured a lot. Thus not seen as often as he should have been. The best man to wear a Leeds shirt .... John Charles?

[ShedRule1]

anyone notice how modest his celebration is for such a magnificent goal. if that was me i'd be running all over the pitch like a madman.

[1costakis]

if Eddy was around today he would be worth £100,000,000 if Ronaldo is worth £80,000,000 for that you get a proper footballer who never dived was totally loyal during a long and distinguished carrear was never booked. The ultimate pro. Wha can you say is like that today. Eddie you are a true legend.

[uzku]

@1costakis Raul from madrid was like that, just a few years ago.

[J4K31]

@1costakis players these days are alot fitter than they used to be

half the players who played 40+ years ago wouldn't make it into the first team!

[claptonbrucebaker]

@J4K31 A lot fitter yer having a laugh, they cry when they play two games a week. Most of them in the premiershit sould be running in the olympics not playing football they play on bowling greens yet can't control a ball, can't cross, most can only use one foot. There's nothing in that premiershit in the class of players like Eddie Gray, Stan Bowles, Tony Currie, Glen Hoddle, John Giles, Frank Worthington, Colin Bell, Keegan, Dllglish them lads could all use both feet, and play on mudbaths.

[J4K31]

@claptonbrucebaker any top-flight player now could play several games a week if they wanted, but what's the point when teams have such large squads nowadays? managers can afford to rest their top players and condition them for their next match. players back then could play several games a week yes, but football was often played at a much slower pace in those days (with exceptions) so players were more unlikely to surcome to injury, meaning rest and conditioning wasn't as much of a necessity

[J4K31]

@claptonbrucebaker players back then had their favoured foot too, players then and now have always been encouraged to use both feet so really there's no difference in that aspect. crossing today is still used very often today, it's just because most teams these days don't have that 'big #9' like teams back then did. ball control however has gotten much better, there is much more flair in todays game. mainly because players have more space nowadays, referees are very strict

[tomngreg]

@1costakis leo messi.

[spennylovesleeds]

I dont know why people dont mention Eddie as one of the great players of his generation more... Even if you call us 'Dirty Leeds' you can't deny Eddie's quality, he was never booked and scored some great goals. Can someone explain?

[yortsandthat]

@spennylovesleeds Probably because the London media along with the FA don't like Super Leeds United.

[Monoloptic]

shame how the best goal ever has less than 100k views. it needs to be retitled 'best goal ever', and to be put on the homepage as a featured video. then it'll get some respect and acknowledgment!

[14mooler]

On his day, as great and entertaining as George Best! If England had both on their squad, they could have won both 1970 and 1974 World Cups!! Even one of them would have been enough! Injuries deprived him the greatness that he deserved. Nevertheles, I prefer watching Eddie Gray than Ronaldo!

[HouseDealerz]

@14mooler tsk, ronaldo practices day in day out on some silly tricks he doesnt even need in his play , he does random shit in random situations , most of the time without progressive. Only Rae Players like eddie and yes, messi, have the talent to create space and scoring positions with their dribbling.

[HouseDealerz]

@HouseDealerz * progression

[seventiesclassic]

Oh....Eddie Eddie...

[springylufc]

classic gray, leeds legend!!!

[exxyeddie]

speaking as a Man utd fan that is one of the greatest goals ever. Sadly, for every Gray, Best, Currie, Worthington we had Harris, Styles, Storey, Tommy Smith.

Eddie Gray is a legend, sadly kicked out of the 1970 cup final

[GaelicMagyar]

Glorious goal! Crying shame about all his injuries, though. With this kind of form, Scotland's World Cup campaign in '74 could've been very different. Incidentally, was that Mick Jones on the ground?

[dpep356]

No it was Albert Johanneson - the first black player to ever appear in an FA Cup final in 1965

[GaelicMagyar]

Ah yes, I remember now. Thanks.

[dmpcornwall]

Fantastic goal but I bet the injured player was thinking, "Great, I can get some bloody treatment now."

[iMattiMattiMattiMatt]

:D

Their players just watch when he takes it past them. See the guy who he beats after the dummy - just walks after him.

[sameoldfitup2008]

Is the electorate losing faith in the political system following the shocking revelations of MPs abusing their expenses allowance? Vote on the blog Link Tamesidesidecitizen on my page

[Hagarviking]

Eddie Gray.  Totally brilliant.

[BetfinderDarren]

Love this goal.  pure magic feet from Eddie.

[kieronkeeble]

you're the only twat best was best footballer britain has ever had. if u don't know that give up watching football

[seventiesclassic]

he weren't just talkin about brilliant footballers..he said Best were an alkie and unreliable..if you deny that you're a cunt !

Who wants a brill player when you never know if he's gonna turn up??

[kieronkeeble]

you're the dozy cunt. if best had of been managed by revie there wouldn't have been a problem. he did what he did because of the poor management at manchester back then. it's like now ferguson would have controlled him. i dislike man u just as much as anyone but get a life if you can't recogonise exceptional talent when u see it.

[kieronkeeble]

Superb Leeds and Eddie at their best.

If they had george best playing for them back then no one would have touched them.

beckham is an amateur compared to these guys.

[theyorkshirewhites]

Twat...why would we want alkie Best when we had Eddie??

Best was a great footballer but also a fucking idiot and unreliable.

[prescient8]

@theyorkshirewhites - spot on! Eddie was a truly great player who also behaved professionally throughout his career. He was a true team player. If Best had scored this particular goal we'd never have heard the end of it.

[Danasters]

This is the greatest goal of all time. No question.

MOT.

[seanreillyireland]

I don't know how he was able to drag the ball back on that pitch, with that ball, with studs on. Its the kind of thing you can do alright with trainers on. But with studs, no matter how good your control is, it just tends to be so slippy. Great goal.

[superleeds30]

this goal brings tears to my eyes

[mccurren]

Just to get this right.. the match was played on April 4th, 1970 ... not May 4th. (Result 2-1)

:o) Cheers!

[sandcastlejim]

what a legend. who can forget his legendary performance in the 70 Cup Final - just days after this clip.

[Supermokh]

His control and composure was unbelievable.

Marching on together and RIP Mrs Radebe.

[Soccer4Life123456]

amazing goal

[lufchaz]

LEEDS 4 LYF!

[Sambora059]

Best goal ever!

[NUTTY4LIFE]

CLASSIC GOAL

[smegheed]

thanks so much for putting this clip on. Greatest goal I've ever seen and I never thought I'd see it again. Ronaldo shmaldo !

[yorkshiremyn]

even yeboah cant beat that

[ColchesterWhite]

Bumped into Eddie after the Doncaster fiasco at Wembley. Shook him by the hand and told him he was one of my heroes. Honestly didn't know what else to say. What does one say when one meets a legend?

[lavish88]

I doubt I have seen that goal for 25 years-Eddie Gray MBE one of the true greats and a real gentleman. Never booked in his career.

[Kagatori]

Fantastic goal

[davejordan69]

what a goal what a player a true gent eddie gray super leeds

[mike520784]

That has got to be one of the best goals ever!

Brings tears to my eyes!!!

[laurenmcintyre]

[lurcherdog13]

Scored one from half way line too in VERY same game - GREAT player in the greatest cluc team ever assembled..dominant in Europe & home despite everyones best efforts to shit on us!!!!

[eddielangran]

'What a masterly goal by Eddie Gray' - Brilliant commentary!

[bc2fc]

Commentary by Keith Macklin, best known for his rugby league commentaries which he still does to this day. He also presented YTV's 'Sunday Quiz' in the early 70s - a quiz about religion and faiths, of all things!

[pauljefferson]

to midnite oil what do u mean he wouldnt score one like that today you havnt seen derby county defend lately have you

[joshjamesgee]

AMZING

[midnightoil1]

the defending is hilarious! he wouldn't score that nowadays.

[markc930]

[liam70d]

that was one of the best goals of all time

[Daveytom66]

never tire of watching this,super eddie,living LEEDS legendm

[seanie002]

[crossrhodes1]

[SuperSaintGaz]

[cockneywhitesb]

Great Goal, Eddie Gray, what a legend!

[jhanlon18]

This was the season when Everton smacked Leeds arse whilst winning the championship by eight points under the 2 points for a win system. They also lost the FA cup to chelsea and i think Celtic spanked them in the european cup. No wonder elland rd looks such a depressing place!

[clarkeonenil]

"Smacked Leeds' arse", we were neck and neck until the hectic fixture schedule meant Revie played the reserves for the last lot of games, much to the chagrin of Mr Clough and the crowd at the Baseball Ground who wanted to see the mighty, mighty Whites on display and instead got a pub side.

[jhanlon18]

Still, you had nothing to compare with Kendall, Ball and Harvey!

[lufc4eva123]

what a goal and what a ledgend

[brownless40]

bring the good old days back nice one

[creamofcardstv]

Great video and I've rated it as five stars. Please check out mine on 1920's trading cards of early soccer players. It includes players from Leeds United etc.

[pur33vil]

I despise Leeds, but that was a hell of a goal

[tomdickhead]

good bit of skill - poor defending. was this in the top division?

[Leeds1234eva]

What a goal

True leeds class

[xxnicksxx]

Madmick said: "and what was that the Leeds fans said in turkey?

"fuck me he's got a knife" "

that is disgraceful - call yourslef a football fan? Tbh you cannot even refer to yourself as a human being, i mean i'm all up for football banter and the rest of it but this is sickening. How can you laugh at two people being murdered? Your a disgrace to humanity, a disgrace to football you make me sick. I'm sure any true football fan (human) be they Man U, Chelsea whatever would think same.
