Things wot I noticed from that video:

  • Look at the pot belly on that ref!
  • Cruyff and Poborsky both looking like world beaters.
  • Sharpe in a Leeds shirt looks very wrong.
  • Beckham in central midfield way earlier than I remembered him ever playing there.
  • And despite the popular opinion, not being lacking in technical skills on the ball.
  • Ole similarly showing his wingplay and excellent crossing as a foreshadowing of him playing there many years later.
  • I'd totally forgotten Cruyff was one of the early adopters of those stupid nose plaster things.
  • Hard to know what went wrong for Leeds when they kept buying other team's castoffs, isn't it? Sharpe and Rush?
