10 things.....
Leeds
1 They built the M1 to go there - so you could watch your team beat 'em quicker.
2 A famous Victorian writer went there once. What the Dickens did he do it for, he threw the rule book at that place by association.
3 Moore and Hepworth trained at their fine School of Art and were not sculptured by the Elland Road Academy.
4 Juventus bought 50s idol John Charles - a big deal in those days in more ways than one.
5 They went all white in '63 but you just can't blank that old blue merchandise - no way, it's po-peacock.
6 You can remember Revie's big name team of the 60s/70s. Why not Albion's of desperate Gillingham days?
7 They had swinging sixties groupies out of town in Holbeck. Or was it Hunslet, maybe Headingly, or possibly St Helens?
8 Clough, Brighton and then Leeds. A coup, disappointment and then unemployment.
9 A recent LUFC Board met at their landmark University tower block. Here, critical financial talk at the Parkinson administration building gave them the shakes.
10 'Eah bah goom, Cantona'. No wonder he went west down the M62 - ooh aah!
