call bremner a vile cheat, what about roy keane? he smiled when he ended careers and nobody called him a cheat!!!! As for being a footballer billy was easily as good as keane

Leeds were not thugs. A lot of this was started by milions of man utd supporters  in the 80's and a reflection of their rivalry. Their 'spokemen' dominate the media

I supported my home team Birmingham not a team out of town

lol. It was more about the treatment that they gave him than the awful challenge. Bremner was 8 stone of barbed wire but that would have felled the hardest player :O)

Chelsea legend!

continued.

I don't recall any uproar when Revie was appointed England manager in 1975 that he was going to turn England into a team of thugs. In fact, he was ahead of his time. He had dossiers on the opposition, which Keegan admitted he threw in the bin - doesn't say much for him. And other ways Revie was ahead of the game.

Also, I don't recall this hatred of Leeds in the late 70's and 80's. No, this started when Man u and Leeds had their recent rivalry in the 90's.

[martynhanson]

I've gone into this in recent years. You can find many people from that era , including, Bobby Moore, Alan Ball and Ian st John, who contradict this. Certainly the latter's argument is that every team had players like that 'well, we had Gerry Bryne, Tommy Smith and Ronny Yeates' It seems to me there is an agenda to besmirch what Leeds did, ie The Damned. Or do you think that was balanced? What is a fact, is that there is a conspiracy to do Leeds down.

@benjibobable oh really? did you see what he did to kevin keegan in the charity shield to upset him and get him sent off? Classy was the last thing he was....

[GeoffSkates]

the 1970 fa cup final was dirty leeds being beaten at their own game. Chelsea out-kicked, out-physically harried and out-bullied leeds which won them the cup.

[GeoffSkates]

@martynhanson Leeds were a great team but they were also more dirty than any other team. That is FACT. Go look at the old matches and see how much Leeds players tried to upset opposition more compared to Liverpool, Man United and Chelsea the time.

[martynhanson]

I am a Birmingham City fan and not Leeds. However, over the years I have come to realise the Leeds teams of 65-75 were great ones. And, as Alan Clarke, said played some of thegreatest football ever seen on these Isles.

What rivalry in the 80s? You were in the Second Division for most of it

McCreadie is by far one of the best

Your all saying players are scum but tbh them days footballers were hard. Bremner was as hard as any player and so was mcreadie, but there was always respect between the teams, footballs been ruined. No respect
