Not a bad Osgood volley with his weaker foot. Couldn’t see an Arsenal contingent in the Shed during the crowd shot. We’re they around that year?

@Scott Nice find and nostalgic for me as young at that age and not committed to any club, with the music too captures the mood of the times.

Great volley by Osgood.

Arsenal's Charlie George scored a clever one against us.

Noticed Stokoe talking about Revie and bribery and recall the Clough movie with him accusing the Leeds players of having won by cheating.

Emlyn Hughes scores a brace, never realised he was a midfielder only recalled him as a dodgy defender .

Another worthwhile read,

Peter Osgood scores his second goal in the European Cup Winners’ Cup match against Jeuesse Hautcharage.

They were playing the second leg at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea won 13-0, given them an aggregate of 21-0.

No, he certainly wasn't

There were certainly players who 'could look after themselves; shall we say back then.

Norman Hunter and Tommy Smith  to name two, off the top of my head.

Every team had a such a player. Some more than one.

 Players in general had to look after themselves then.

 

At The Bridge on 14th Oct 1972, We won 3-1 v West Brom.

I like the temporary dug outs and players seats in the background on the touchline.
