LUFCTALK

Yes I was there that day I remember running the gauntlet after coming out of 7 Sisters tube. Tottenham skinheads appeared from everywhere. No police cordons in those days. I remember Billy grabbed a brace. Happy days. PS You’re never intruding love your memories ;) Thank you. I would have gone by t...

Sorry for my intrusions on your site but I was at White Hart Lane for the 3-0 Leeds win in 1973 and, as I remember it, Leeds tore Spurs apart that day. Loved that yellow kit too. Going off at a tangent, yesterday I made a post on the ITFC Forum that I use talking about my memories of the ITFC title ...

As an outsider in as much as my only real interest in LUFC spans the wonderful mid sixties to mid seventies period can I please just say that I hope to see Mick Jones on one of the future lists? A wonderful player in partnership with Allan Clarke and not always given the recognition that he deserved...

Just discovered this sad news whilst I was on an ITFC Forum.

So sad, a great player from a great era.

I still have the double A-side single from 1972, "Lasher Lorimer what a shot...."

RIP

All the best teams had Scottish players. Don Revie's Leeds had no less than seven Scots when they won the title in '74: Bremner, Eddie Gray; Frank Gray; Harvey; Jordan; Lorimer; McQueen. Yes my Ipswich Town team that won the title in 1961/62 under Alf Ramsey had three in Baxter, Moran and Leadbette...

More bad and distressing news about players from that wonderful period. Best wishes to Peter and Mick and to their families.

Yes I just saw that, very sad. I remember him from that 1973/74 side which was possibly the best of Don Revie's teams, they were a joy to watch. Regrettably I only usually post on here when there is bad news about someone from the mid 1960's to mid 1970's Leeds United that I followed, unless I happe...

Mick McCarthy on Big Jack a very good read indeed. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/sep/23/mick-mccarthy-jack-charlton-illuminated-ireland-changed-lives It was a very good read-somebody posted the link on the ITFC Forum that I am on, because MM wrote it. Just as an aside there is still a h...

Another worthy of a mention from the Revie era that was here from 64 to 71, on the fringes but did a job when called is Rod Belfit. Rod actually played a major role in getting us to the final of the Inter Cities Fairs Cup in 1967. He scored a gat-trick in the Semi final 4-2 victory over Kilmarnock....

I think David Harvey was the safer of the two keepers but Sprake was certainly capable of brilliance even if he mostly gets remembered (outside Leeds anyway) for the things that went wrong.
