Re: [LU] Non-Lu: Calling old fogies.

[LU] 04-March-1972. Southampton
On a nostalgia trip, I found a good quality video of that game against Southampton. It was uploaded in Apr'20 so it might be new to some of you. 35mins of highlights. It's been converted to widescreen, so presumably the top and bottom of the original MOTD video has been cut off, but it doesn't seem to be detrimental to what you see. Some quick close-up shots of the crowd here and there, so you might get to spot a long-missed relative, or a younger version of yourself. The passing sequence at the end of the game is rightly remembered, but there's another after the fourth goal that it just sublime. "Oh, so easy" says Barry Davies at the start of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22u28SjVXPY JB -Original Message- From: Leedslist On Behalf Of leedslist-requ...@gn.apc.org Sent: 24 June 2021 12:00 To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: Leedslist Digest, Vol 132, Issue 7 Send Leedslist mailing list submissions to leedslist@gn.apc.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to leedslist-requ...@gn.apc.org You can reach the person managing the list at leedslist-ow...@gn.apc.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Leedslist digest..." ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ Rest in Peace Guy, and wear your hat!

[LU] FA Cup. Manchester vs Leeds United. 1951
Now that were in the same division as Manchester again, Im just wondering if theres much to dislike about them anymore. None of their players raise my hackles, Marcus Rashford is positively a National Treasure, and the Baby-Faced Assassin is pretty likeable too. Maybe I need some motivation. Heres a Pathé Newsreel from 1951: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D0XLwBgf3k Its not the 4-0 scoreline, were Second Division to their First after all ***, no, its the Pathé commentary, it thoroughly winds me up. Is it too late to write to them and complain? *** Although I would expect Richard Walker to come down heavily on the goalkeeping, own goal for the first, handling error maybe for the second. The poor defending from corners seems to be an LU tradition, and I cant tell if John Charles is involved. If he is, I dont recognise him, and Id like to think if he was playing, hed help keep the score down.

Re: [LU] Big Jack RIP - massive influence on my life
Hi Dave, A few elements of your story are similar to mine. It's 1966, World Cup time. I'm 7 and beginning to become aware of football. Booby Charlton is my first favourite player, and by association Manchester are my favourite team. However, my Mancunian parents are always calling me their little Yorkshireman, me having been born in York, and it soon became unacceptable to me to support a Lancashire team. Once I learned Bobby had a brother Jackie, and that he played for a Yorkshire team, you can add another Leeds United fan to the list. Big Jack tried to kill me at my first ever Leeds game. 1970 I think. Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace. At the end of the warm up, the practice balls are kicked back to the dugout. I'd been watching Jack, and he sliced his ball higher than high, and it's coming back down to earth directly at me. I'm just mesmerised by it, like a rabbit in the headlights. I can't defend myself, I can't get out of the way... Fortunately, lots of adult hands patted the ball away. That game was famous for a Gary Sprake handling error right at the end, gifting Palace a draw. John -Original Message- From: nat...@sky.com Sent: 11 July 2020 10:23 To: leeds list Subject: [LU] Big Jack RIP - massive influence on my life Was shocked but not surprised to hear of the death of another true Leeds United legend, but there is something different about this one. Jack is THE reason I am a Leeds fan , When I was around 4 or 5 years old being brought up in a ManU supporting household with an elder brother I heard a lot about Bobby Charlton. When I found out he had a brother, my young brain went, ' if my brother supports Bobby, I will support Jack, ' and hence a Leeds fan was born. I was lucky enough to meet Jack at the world cup in Spain in 82. We sat with him in a bar on a pier and chatted for a while. Of course I explained how and why I was a Leeds fan, which he found amusing, and I had him in stitches when I finished my story by saying " thank fuck you did not play for Crewe" He was a top bloke and was happy to chat A postscript to the story was as we left a group of young boys were outside the pier thing and one of us told them " Jackie Charlton is in there They all ran in shouting " Bobby Charlton, Bobby Charlton " , next thing we see is Jack and the TV bloke with him running off pursued by a gang of kids So as a Leeds fan of 45 years of active support, and going to Leeds university purely so I could get to games, and everything that flows from that (job I got, mates I have etc etc) are all down to big Jack. If i had never heard of him i could have been a scum fan and celebrated all those trophies or could have been the family rebel and followed City and celebrated all their trophies but FUCK EM ALL- being a Leeds United fan is special so THANKS JACK I owe you loads RIP Dave ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ Dorigo's Right Buttock...

[LU] Trivia Question from Heimbane
I've been watching a TV series from Norway called "Heimbane". It's another in the "Female Coach/Male Football Team" genre. I don't think it's been on British TV, nor on a Netflix-type streaming service, and the only subtitles I've found are less than perfect. In Heimbane there's a character called Eddie (played by Per Jan Vinje) who is the club's groundsman and prop master. He's also a very enthusiastic Leeds United fan and appears in every episode wearing a different Leeds shirt. In the episode I watched last night, he posed a trivia question to the team. No answer was provided, so I'm wondering if anyone here can figure it out. Here goes, pasted from the subtitles: 00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:56,780 Question 14: what former Leeds player 00:12:56,780 --> 00:13:02,820 Quite a few Leeds-related questions... - The kids must learn. 00:13:02,820 --> 00:13:11,860 Ok... what former Leeds player played also for Sunderland, Arsenal and Manchester City? 00:13:11,860 --> 00:13:15,900 It's a trick question. ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Norman MOT
Re: [LU] Norman H
Whilst a lot of channels were listing Norman's honours yesterday, I don't think any mentioned that he was the inaugural "Player's Player of the Year". I always thought that his fellow professionals voting for him above anyone else, ought to put the "Dirty Leeds" allegations into some sort of perspective. My favourite memory: towards the end of the seventies he returned to Elland Road with Bristol City. There was a lot warmth for him with songs being sung. When a particularly robust tackle got him a yellow card, the songs went up in volume and he had to sheepishly acknowledge the crowd.

Re: [LU] Silver lining?
Yep. It seems very unfair to cancel competitions or stop them where they are now. My preference: whenever it should be, this season's competitions should be completed as originally structured, and it is next season that you re-structure. For example, say we resume in November, we play the remaining games and gain, or fail to get promotion, whatever. The new season can kick off in January, and if you aim to finish by May, you might re-structure each division by splitting into two groups, and eventually sort out titles, promotion and relegation with play-offs. Better ideas, anyone? JB -Original Message- From: Robert Heath Sent: 29 March 2020 03:08 To: Leeds List Subject: [LU] Silver lining? Grim days, Gentlemen.

Re: [LU] another new crest / badge
Lurkdom mode - OFF. Once we abandoned the City of Leeds badge, sometime in the 1960's I think, we then seemed to change our badge every other year. It wasn't until the "rose and ball" one - the one we won the 1992 Championship with - that we settled down to some season after season continuity. It lasted a good few seasons, long enough, I thought, to establish itself as our "new" traditional badge. I'd love for that one to return. I never took to Ridsdale's living the (European) dream replacement. The current proposal? Supposedly it's for our 100th anniversary. I could buy into it, if it was only for the one season, and perhaps if the hand on the chest was a hand over our traditional badge... whatever that is. If it mobilises support and enthusiasm and helps us get back to the top level in time for our 100th year, then maybe we should endorse it. Doesn't sound as if it will though. Celebrating the Leeds salute? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have the uncomfortable feeling that it started appearing when the NF were trying to take over our terraces at the end of the 1970s So for me it's bit too close to a Nazi salute to be totally at ease with it. Finally, a question on the 100th anniversary that I've been meaning to ask. Didn't Ken Bates' shenanigans kill off the 1919 club? Isn't the club we're supporting now some new creation of his, barely 10 years old?
