Is Pete Southam still about? Years ago he asked me to send copies of all my Leeds United sticker badges and he had them tattood on different parts of his torso. Also where is Shane Hunt the Australian lad. He came over about 6-7-8 years ago, it was a game against QPR, a Premier League game and Shane came to a list meet in the Brittannia. I took him a John Charles signed programme and he ended up leaving without it. The list meets in those days were a bit special, the "Usual Suspects", started with the people who attended the list meets, these were both at home and away. At the home meets there could be up to maybe 20-25 listers, maybe more and the away meets probably a dozen or even more. Honestly these were really great times. The European away games were also very special. From meeting at the railway stations to the flights back home, they were filled with memorable events. Events like getting to the ground in Malaga and the match tickets are back at the hotel. Purposely leaving lift doors open so your pals had to walk up the stairs p the top floor and greeting them with laughter when they finally got up there (Barcelona). Someone took a great dust-bin liner on the plane filled with cheese from Italy and almost stank the plane out. Playing keepy uppy in France whilst waiting for transport. When we went to France to play Troyes, we got settled into the hotel and as we were having a pre-dinner drink, all of a sudden a huge amount of people started streaming into the hotel. It was the full party of Leeds United FC including Ridsdale. Getting grasshoppers painted on our heads in Zurich where it pissed it down all the time. On another occasion one of the lads (Sticky) got mugged, he bravely ran after the mugger and retrieved his wallet, unfortunately there were other rogues about and he was robbed again and beaten up, he had rib injuries and I think a broken arm or wrist, unfortunately he was alone when the attacks happened. Will these days ever return, Leeds United in a European Semi Final, of course they will. Thirkers
