Leeds United and me

I am a lifelong Leeds United fan. I started supporting Leeds in about 1965 when I was only 10 !. That means that I have been a Leeds fan for over 40 years. I am Leeds and I am proud ! My dad was a Leeds fan and my grandad was a Leeds fan. Leeds United runs in my blood and I could never support any other team. I have witnessed the ups and downs of being a football club supporter. Most teams have good times and not so good times. As a Leeds fan I have witnessed a hell of a lot of good times and some bad times too.

The first Leeds team I can remember had Bobby Collins in, but it wasnt long before he retired. This was the start of the great Leeds days of the late 1960's and 70's.

I was at Elland Road in 1967 for the Leeds V Sunderland FA cup replay and I was in the Elland Road cop when the barrier collapsed.
