So many amazing quality players to choose from 🤔

Would love to shoehorn ALL of my faves into a squad of at least 30 😉

such as the main man Mr Mark Viduka💜, King Pablo for sure 💜


Of course the inspiration of the mercurial Gordon Strachan💜, an old fave of mine magic banana shots Tony Currie 💜 in front of prostrated adoring Leeds fans

The ultimate King Billy💜 and the sensational Revie teams 💜 of course

The wizardry of Duncan McKenzie💜 and John Sheridan💜,

Always had a soft spot for a marvellous but somewhat underrated winger Arthur Graham 💜

of course the AMAZING Tony Yeboah 💜 who scored goals very, very, very few ( if any at all) players had the ability to score

and definitely the VERY BEST ever most talented, gifted and VERSATILE Leeds United player John Charles 💜 and Bielsa loves versatility!

Arthur Graham my absolute original fav player as a kid. Then John Sheridan came along.

10 Oct 2020 21:40:23
Carl Harris was a capable player on the right wing as well.

Corkwhite, we must be of a similar era, loved those two players, met Arthur Graham when I had a tour of Elland Road as a 12 year old. First players who were idols for me were Tony Currie and Trevor Cherry, but must say Batty and Yeboah are my all time favourites.

Yes Cork, fab player was Arthur Graham ; he scored an impressive THREE hatricks playing for Leeds United!

I remember Cherry playing for England and was the only Leeds player doing so at time. Funny but I’m 49 and Leeds in all my years have had very little players play for England in that time. I suppose a quarter of a century in lower divisions does that!

As international week (bit boring no Leeds) , thought I'd put together a Scottish Leeds all 11.

GK David Harvey
LB Dom Matteo
RB Frank Gray
CB Gordon McQueen
CB Liam Cooper
Rw Gordon Strachan
CM Gary McAllister
CM Billy Bremner
LW Eddie Gray
CF Peter Lorimer
CF Joe Jordan

This team would give most a good run for their money.

10 Oct 2020 21:00:05
That’s a world beating team especially in midfield.

10 Oct 2020 22:53:31
Some true greats there.

Reflections on start of season
I think we have 1 point more than I hoped for I thought we would lose v city and Liverpool and beat Fulham and Sheffield United . The two games we have won are the games we need to win and a point from city was a bonus . I think as the season goes on the new signings will gel and the fitness will come back and I think before season I was hoping to stay up but now I'm hoping for a solid 10th place finish.

10 Oct 2020 12:02:36
Not even sure I wouldn't have a taken a point at the blunts and been happy.
Right now I'd say we are 6 above the dreaded relegation (allowing for the game in hand) which is great.
I'll take a point at Wolves but can also see us getting all 3.

10 Oct 2020 07:12:58
Proud of all our lads donning their nation’s shirt. Chuffed at the squad we now have. and that our coach has experience of being national coach for two countries.

What a difference since Radz came in.

I walk around a good foot taller.

MOT.

Go you Toronto.

10 Oct 2020 14:51:01
Know exactly what you mean Toronto, great time to be Leeds right now.

Well done Marcus Rashford MBE. A fine example for any aspiring young professional footballers to look up to.

10 Oct 2020 05:56:14
Absolutely agree

There are times when all football rivalries should be put aside and this young, inspirational man is one of those times.

I admit to being sceptical when I first read of his initiative. Another footballer's PR exercise. Jumping on the back of the virus bandwagon. But the more I have read the more I am humbled by this young man's drive and commitment.

My only hope now is that he is transferred to a big club like Madrid or Juventus, so I can enjoy watching him play on TV. I am unfortunately a petty older man, bereft of the class of Mr Rashford.

10 Oct 2020 06:19:03
Well. he’s showing leadership off the field as well as on it. I just wish the poor lad didn’t have to stick that ugly red rag on his back of a Saturday. that’s not fair on him now is it. Should be a law against it really. Exposing decent folk to that kind of cruelty.

10 Oct 2020 09:33:52
It's just a shame that the honours system is devoid of value, and has been for almost a century. The lad is doing good work off the field, and I am pretty sure that he would have preferred some material support over some empty posturing.

10 Oct 2020 11:26:43
Completely agree, he has done tremendous work and fully deserves the honour
It’s just a shame, as Cyno mentioned, they are devoid of value and have been proved again by awarding one to Lorraine Kelly, who adds zero value in this world and is basically an oxygen thief.

10 Oct 2020 12:07:19
Really, he done some great charity related work for 5 mins which is great and nice to see but come on.
There are thousands out there doing valuable charity stuff every week but they won't get mentioned.
It's all BS PR. he's made waves in the news (well done lad, it's a valuable cause) so he gets a gong. If he'd being doing it for 10 yrs I'd think well deserved.

10 Oct 2020 14:32:41
But harsh CW, at least he has been honoured for going above and beyond what he does on a day to day basis, he hasn’t done this for PR, I think he genuinely cares and wants to make a difference and has used his status to do so.

10 Oct 2020 14:35:50
I won't disagree, but with power imbalances being what they are his huge platform gives him the ability to have a much greater impact than most of us.

10 Oct 2020 15:39:22
Not saying Rashford did it for PR at all, saying whole honours list is decided based on PR.
If it was decided on merit he wouldn't be honoured whereas Mr X who has worked at the homeless shelter for 25 hrs with no pay would be honoured.
He gets it because he's well known.

11 Oct 2020 17:09:22
Canadawhite, 150% agree with you mate, a good pr stunt There are far better candidates out there that have done more and on less wages then he get could afford to pay for free meals out of his own money, and he wouldn’t even miss it, shame on the Queen still sheet looks like she keeping up on things going on in the uk makes her look good.
