Any Leeds fans about ?

Need to use better bait than that 

Did you know all three titles Leeds won were clinched at Anfield?

Another similarity was that those three titles were each driven by a player Manchester United made a huge mistake in letting go - Johnny Giles in '69 and '74 and Gordon Strachan in '92. Leeds then handsomely and promptly repaid the favour by selling a certain Frenchman! Strachan was like the bastard child of Giles and Billy Bremner.

Football was very different then. The pitches were sh*t which is a large part of the reason why it was so hard. That early 70s period to me seems the absolute peak of English club football as a mass engagement game of the people. The stadiums were heaving cauldrons. I would have loved to have been around in that era. 136k at Hampden Park for Celtic v Leeds in 1970. Wow.

I'm rather fascinated by that Leeds team, by their brilliance, by their arrogance, by their bravery, by the way they finished second in so many competitions they should have won, and by their dark side, which included frequent attempts at match fixing which never seemed to work - their attempt to bribe Wolves before the crucial league decider in '72 seemed to fire Wolves up no end - and despite their furious denials, absolutely did happen. It's why Don Revie suddenly fled from England and the England manager's job to the Middle East in 1977 as the World Cup qualifiers were about to come to a climax - because Gary Sprake told the truth. None of the other Leeds players bar Eddie Gray ever spoke to Sprake again. 

For 5/6 years Giles was probably the best CM in Europe.

We Irish forget how good he was due to him maybe playing too lonv for Eire.

It's early days but on this form they won't be going down this season.

Cracking goals .
