LUFCTALK

Most nerve racking match I’ve watched in years.

I think it’s almost impossible to compare them ... I think Nottingham White’s analysis is perfect. For me, the reason this is such an emotional issue is that Marcelo was more than a football manager, and he built more than a football team at Leeds.

After Poland beat England in the 1973 World Cup qualifying game at Wembley, they played Ireland in a friendly on the Sunday. Ireland beat Poland 1-0 in the first Ireland match I went to as a child. It w...

A successfully growing business in any other sector wouldn’t say ‘it’s unacceptable that we haven’t overt...

The Hall of Fame is looking very impressive now. It’s interesting to see the selections after the Revie-era squad dominated the early votes.

Same here and struggling to see where Madeley gets in! :shock: During the four seasons that all eleven were there, Paul Madeley played: 39 league games, and 59 games in all, in 1969/70 41 league games, and 58 games in all, in 1970/71 42 league games, and 52 games in all, in 1971/72 34 league games,...

And a recklessly attacking tall Leeds team:

Paul Robinson

Gordon McQueen - Jack Charlton - Rio Ferdinand

Luke Ayling - Gary McAllister - Mateusz Klich - Paul Madeley

Joe Jordan - John Charles - Paddy Bamford

With some creative juggling of positions, here is a small Leeds team:

David Harvey

Gordon Strachan - Bobby Collins - David Batty - Ezgjan Alioski

Brian Flynn - Billy Bremner - Johnny Giles - Pablo Hernandez

Terry Connor - Arthur Graham
