Went into his house and it was like a shrine to LUFC……..there was Leeds stuff everywhere.

Anyhow, he mentioned that he had a collection of 100 odd Leeds shirts, which he showed me……they were meticulously ordered by season in different wardrobes - Home, Away, Third and various training tops/jackets etc….a very impressive collection.

However, he said the one shirt he just can’t get hold of is the 1983/84 Umbro ‘Systime’ sponsored shirt - reckons he’s never come across one. Made me think I don’t recall ever having seen one of these either

The no smoking if born after 2009. Exactly how is this workable or enforceable.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding it but is it possible down the line that an 89 & 90 year old are smoking and one of them could get arrested.
