1972: Behind the Scenes at LEEDS UNITED | I Love Leeds | Classic BBC Sport | BBC Archive - Video

Actor and screenwriter Colin Welland gets a look behind the scenes at his beloved Leeds United. During a toast at a banquet in honour of the 1972 FA Cup winners, the proud Lancastrian and rugby league die-hard explains what it is about this Yorkshire football club that appeals to him.

Over the course of the documentary, Colin plays dominoes in a local pub with Jack Charlton and Billy Bremner, joins a rigorous training session alongside the first team (to the point of vomiting), gets an equally rigorous rub-down from the boss, Don Revie and visits the club dressing room in the aftermath of a 3-3 draw against Ipswich Town, where he attempts to put a positive spin on the result to a frustrated Johnny Giles.
