I thought you might have. Why didn't you pass your opinion on to Mr Clough? Maybe he would have lasted a bit longer if he listened to your advice. Never met Clough. Bobby Robson though and Southgate, Graham Taylor, Keegan and Allardyce...all men who held the one job Clough coveted. Spent a full afternoon with Keegan which led to me helping him buy some glass for his wife. Oddly I have never met Eriksson....I wrote to him though and I have been to his town of Sunne, oh and I met his muse Ulrika-ka. I get about a bit...at least I used to. Oh dear.

How was Cowling not given offside for that goal? Inexplicable 😁, he's about four yards offside Definitely onside! Cowling's searing pace may have deceived you.

Wooooooooooooooosssssssh ! Double wooosshh when you look at the Ritchie / Vietnam strap line on my avatar page, whenever the topic of your worst ever Town manager comes up I always go for A.T.R. - Supremac, Wadsworth and others aren't exactly favourites but I was going to games hoping to get beaten under Ritchie so he would get sacked, I remember being one of just a couple of hundred visiting fans nesrly coming to blows with Frank Sinclair and Brandon leaving the field after another inept defeat at Gillingham and then walking away from Oldham, soaking wet from heavy rain and genuinely upset cos Matt Glennon had saved a penalty to keep the score at 4-1. Still he didn't last long after that and Stan came in and then everything in the garden was rosy !!😉

BBC today....
Ex-Leeds United and England footballer Norman Hunter "remains severely unwell" in hospital, his former club have said.
Hunter, 76, who played for England 28 times in the 1960s and 70s, and helped Leeds become English champions twice, was admitted to hospital and tested positive for coronavirus last week.
Leeds' statement said: "Norman Hunter continues to battle the Covid-19 virus in hospital and while he is, as expected, fighting incredibly hard, remains severely unwell."
Some on here will debate whether as this comes via the BBC, it is fake news. Personally, I think hes a great guy, we should wish him well.

Part of the team you love to hate. Always that problem that you hated them but fucking hell they could play. Still as much interest in them as teams that won a lot more, entertainers and pantomime villains, but always keep their aura.. Great team, great players, great characters, made football then better because it affected you and as there wasnt huge coverage you could make a lot of it up..
RIP Norman.

I ought to add that we actually have a family connection. As a youngster, Norman Hunter was apprenticed - as an electrical fitter - to my wife's late father in Birtley, Tyne & Wear, immediately south of Gateshead. When only a small boy he used to spend his spare time kicking a ball against the end-terrace wall of my wife's Nanna's house. Hunter went on to play for Birtley Juniors, where he was scouted by Leeds.

Rest in Peace to a true legend of the game. Always came across as a decent bloke and was clearly one of the very best centre backs of his generation. Sad news.

RIP Norman Hunter. I wonder if it might be possible that he might have picked it up at ER in the game against us. In hindsight that weekends football shouldn't have happened

RIP Norman. Very sad indeed. Thoughts with his family and reflecting on ( though I oft hate to say it) what were a truly great Leeds team who in many respects underachieved and were not blessed of fortune .....WBA ....Bayern Munich et al.

One minute in, there's old Norman bites yer legs! Get well soon old boy. How was Cowling not given offside for that goal? Very sad news indeed. A player I remember from my earliest days as a kid following football. I disagree it was offside though, as when the ball came back to him, it was a different passage of play.
