O'Leary, wasn't alive for Revie and was 2 when Wilko won the league.

Favourite player was Woodgate.

We think alike mate.

Being an old fart & having witnessed all LUFC era's, nothing beats those times!

I accept it's difficult to judge that period if one never experienced the Revie-era.

Great time to be a kid/teenager :-D

Terrific player, not as great as Bremner & Giles, but certainly a fan's favourite in his short time at Leeds.

Currie would make the bench in my all-time greatest Leeds squad as would Strachan.

Yes Leon, I think I was 5 when I started supporting Leeds in 67.

At that time we were a great force and challenging for honours every season, so it was all very exciting for a young kid.

Still feel that we just missed out on a lot of trophies that we should have won and the most heartbreaking was losing that European Cup Final, admittedly after DR had gone.

Tbh all of those players were my heroes, but I felt that Billy epitomized our identity the best.

We haven't seen days as good as that since the Revie era, despite some good periods under Wilko, O'Leary and now Bielsa.

Just watched Leeds v Wolves on the Big Match from 1981.

Typical Leeds start going a goal down early in the game from a cross into the box.

Carl Harris equalised with a fine solo effort going round the keeper with a composed finish. I'd forgotten Carl made over 150 appearances in his nine year career at Leeds.

Arthur Graham had a great goal disallowed & also smacked a lovely effort against the bar.

Wayne Clarke scored a goal just like his dad had for Leeds so many times as Wolves went onto win 1-3

In the interview after the game Allan & Wayne were stood together with Allan commenting they looked like two peas in a pod.

The game was played on a horrible muddy pitch with the fans watching from behind those horrendous blue iron fences.

The South Stand was virtually empty, attendance only 19,000.

Of course, Clarkey's Leeds were relegated & of course we lost Carl Harris to Charlton come the 82/83 season.

I first started following Leeds in the second part of the 70s. Arthur Graham was my first favourite Leeds's player.
Un Marcelo Bielsa, solo hay un Marcelo Bielsa. Gracias Marcello. Marsching on together.

With Giles a close second imo! Johnny was an intelligent hard player, could curl a pass like a golfer's put.

Bargain @ £35,000 from Scum :lol:

We were robbed of at least four trophies,

European Cup
European Cup Winners Cup
League championship
FA Cup

would have been the additional trophies in our cabinet if not for some appalling refereeing
