Today to most on here is Bonfire Night but for me it's 50 years today I saw my first Leeds game. As a young teenager I didn't have a lot of interest in football although like the rest of the country followed England during their epic year a year before. A neighbour who was a season ticket holder at Roker Park had a spare ticket as his wife was ill for their league cup game against Leeds United. A brace from Jimmy Greenhoff converted me into a Leeds supporter. I still have the programme but just looked & can't find it. Do I regret going to that game half a century ago, do I heck. MOT.

Congratz NW, 50 Years is a long time but yet its filled with memories that i know you cherish.

Congrats NW, just checked and I also passed the 50 mark this year. First match I can remember was Chelsea when we beat them 7-0 on 7th Oct 1967 but think was a couple before that.

Congrats NW. Hadn't thought about it but got my calculator out and mine works out at 65! Keep going NW.

Yeah good memories NW. I'm at 46 (not to the day though).

Congratulations NW, hope you enjoy the next 50

Nice one Phil, you deserve a long service medal!

4 years to go for my 50.

So you didn't start supporting Leeds until you were in your 20's then.
