Was looking for footage of the old muddy Baseball Ground when I found this.

Neither Bremner or Keegan were dirty players just very competitive and there is a big difference.
4/5 of the Newport players I would describe as dirty based on what we saw on Friday.

Well if you think Paul Madeley, Eddie Gray, Peter Lorimer,
Terry Cooper and  Paul Reaney were dirty you were watching something different to me. Even Norman Hunter got the first ever Payers Player of the year award so that shows how much respect his fellow professionals had for him.
It was a different game in those days. Every team had a hard man or 2 or 3  Chopper Harris and Eddie McCreadie at Chelsea, Tommy Smith at Arsenal, Peter Storrie at Arsenal, Nobby Stiles at Man U etc etc

Ha, was just going to say... Looked at wiki and was reminded of the brilliant Bill Shankley quote, "Tommy Smith wasn't born, he was quarried".

That clip doesn't show them starting again in the tunnel on the way off the pitch!

If you want something showing how muddy the Baseball Ground got, perhaps there's the footage of when the penalty spot disappeared (against Man City if I remember rightly) on youtube?

Ace pic here of Bremner getting involved, and Dave Hill of Slade also seems to have got on the pitch  :ohmy:



There wasn't any afters in the tunnel though Lee did slam his physio against a wall and knock the doctor flying as he tried to stitch his busted lip.

The member of 'Slade'  was David Harvey the Leeds keeper.

Leeds were disliked as much or more for negative rather than dirty play.
Usually when they went one up they closed up shop and won.
That as much as anything upset people as it made for a poor game.

That was in the late 60's  The 1970's team particularly the 73/74 team were fantastic to watch.

It's a shame that Man U ended up taking Jordan and McQueen.
The Championship side of 73/74 were very good to watch.

I'm not sure if any footage exists of Keegan and Bremner actually fighting, although there is plenty of the aftermath. They both took off their shirts as they walked off after being dismissed.

Here's one from the undercard, so to speak. Johnny Giles landing one on Keegan and getting off with a booking! Unlike Bremner, whose bark was much worse than his bite, Giles was a nasty bas**rd.

The best punch I have seen on a pitch was by Kevin Noteman,a short right cross to the chin, and the other player was spark out.
   After the game I am sure it came to light he had been unbeaten as an amateur boxer before taking up football.

If you manage to find any footage I am sure you will find that J Giles is the spark that ignites Keegan and leads to his altercation with Bremner. Giles was one of the slyist players when it came to the dark arts but was still one hell of a player

I remember Glynn Humphries putting one on a Blackpool player in a midweek game in the mid 80s at Bloomfield Rd.

The guy nobody tangled with  in the hard Leeds team days was Mark Lazarus who played with Q.P.R.
   A well known hard man who sparred with all the top boxers in London at the time, and was professional standard.
   Rodney Marsh wrote that he didnt throw it about because he never had to,a bloody good player as well.

Slightly later times but Mick Harford and our own Billy Tightshirt were proper hard men - could probably add Brab to that list too
