Over half the season gone and as a team we have only scored two headed goals and both by Dan James all 5'7" of him.

22 games in and Diego Llorente has scored two (vital goals) both with his weaker left foot.

I didn't know that!

Chart performance
"Leeds, Leeds, Leeds (Marching on Together)" entered the Irish Singles Chart on 20 May 2010 at number 41 and charted in the UK Singles Chart on 23 May 2010 at number 10.

Chart (2010) Peak
position
Ireland (IRMA)[4] 41
UK Singles Chart 10

So on the back of finishing runners up in the 3rd tier... gotta be looking at No.1 if released to coincide with our next trip to Wembley!

Two massive games in 2010 -
Jan - beat Scum in cup
May - beat Bristol Rovers for promotion.

Strange fact - Only 3 players completed every minute (all 180 of them)

Can anyone name them?
