For me it has to be the abject misery of returning from Wembley where we had been beaten by Doncaster Rovers in the play off final.
We had battled through the adversity of the points deduction, the almost constant reminders by the press of how far we had fallen and the desertion by Wise and Poyet. We had taken all that and made it to Wembley, even after stuttering against Carlisle and we let ourselves believe that we might just win and get promoted. Then in classic LUFC fashion we failed by losing to Rovers. I only had one previous encounter with Rovers and that was back in the 80s when Leeds did them a favour by bringing a few thousand to Belle Vue in a pre season friendly. Some Leeds fans did them another favour by re-arranging one of their stands during a pitched battle which ran the length of the terracing down the far touchline. It was more entertaining than the game which I believe we won 1-0 courtesy of a Mark Gavin (?) goal. Then at Wembley I had barely left the escalator when the misery of the taunts from the Huddersfield Town and Bradford City fans started. Living in Dirty Dewsbury unfortunately I know quite a few of these throwbacks. In the end I turned my phone off and travelled home in silence back up the M1.

Forget all the Premier League stuff, all the high profile losses etc. That one game was the lowest point of my whole Leeds United Supporting life. Bar None. Yes Sunderland '73 still haunts me, Yes Paris '75 was a travesty, Yes ALL those cup finals and 2nd places throughout the years are still ingrained in my psyche as painful experiences ... But painful experiences when we were in with a shout of something, we were winners, we were acheiving. Hereford '09 was a rank 3rd division club with no ambition and no real hope.
