My first memories of Leeds are twofold. I can recall the very first live game I attended at Elland road. It will have been in the early 1960's and was against Blackpool as I can still see the vivid orange shirts in my mind to this day.
The first time I realised that I was Leeds and it would always be so was watching the 1965 FA cup final on the black and white TV at home - When Bremner scored I can tell you was literally bouncing up and down on the old sofa in excitement. I don't think I have ever again achieved such pure ecstasy at a game of football since. Ahh the innocence of youth (I was 10) Oh, and I was on the Lowfields road with my dad on the night we played Sunderland and the barrier broke (52,000 crowd) - I ended up almost 60 yards away from my dad and was passed back over the heads of the crowd.

I can remember Albert Johanneson breaking his leg after being viciously tackled down the left midfield, and of course, the 1965 FA Cup Final against Liverpool... Not quite as old as you Grampa :) _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
