But it was Howson‟s two goals that saw United through to the League One play-off final in 2008 after a thrilling fightback against Carlisle United in the two-legged semi final. In the week of the final the midfielder turned 20. It was United‟s first appearance at the new Wembley Stadium, and they were determined to make history as the first Whites side to win a play- off final after unsuccessful attempts in 1987 and the 2006 debacle against Watford. Dougie Freedman had played a major part in United‟s late run to the play-offs and his contribution was recognised by Phil Hay in a preview of the final for the Yorkshire Evening Post: “With three play-off finals lodged in his memory bank already, Dougie Freedman does not need Jonathan Howson celebrates scoring the second goal at Carlisle which took instructing on the unforgiving nature of the game awaiting Leeds United to Wembley United at Wembley on Sunday.

They still passionately resented Ken Bates and his Chelsea connections. The fans were even happier when McAllister inspired enough of a revival for the team to qualify for the Play Offs. It was disappointing to lose the Wembley final, but there was genuine promise at last. After the turmoil of the previous summer, the 2008 close season was in stark contrast an oasis of tranquillity and preparations for the new campaign almost perfect. McAllister persuaded Swansea wide man Andy Robinson to forsake the certainty of Championship football and throw in his lot with Leeds. Leicester left-back Alan Sheehan made a loan move permanent and he was soon joined by Bristol City target man Enoch Showunmi, young Livingstone winger Rob Snodgrass and the Argentinian, Luciano Becchio. The South American striker began his career with Boca Juniors, around the same time as Carlos Tevez, before spells at Barcelona and Mallorca.

    When the British motor industry was overseen by ‘The Prince of Darkness’ ~ See page 12 ~ Vol. 30 No. 2 May 2012 CARMAN PHIL Giant Puppets Roam The Streets R Good Weather, Fuel Panic Drive UK Retail Surge WARM WEATHER and a spate of panic-buying for car fuel caused retail sales in Britain to surge by 1.8 percent in March compared with a month earlier, official data showed last month. The figures released by the Office for National Statistics were well ahead of the market consensus of 0.5 percent growth. They contrasted with a drop of 0.7 percent in February, and encouraged hope that Britain’s economy returned to growth in the first quarter of the year. Government warnings to prepare for a possible strike by tanker drivers set off a wave of panic buying of petrol, contrib- uting to a 4.9 percent gain in petrol sales Continued on page 4 R Inflation Rises For First Time In Six Months INCREASES in the price of food and clothing pushed inflation in Britain to 3.5 percent in March, the first increase in the annual rate in six months, official figures showed last month. The Office for National Statistics said the rate was up from February’s 3.4 percent – still far above the Bank of Eng- land’s official target of two percent. Analysts, however, said the inflation rate, which had been falling steadily from a peak of 5.2 percent in September, is likely to soon resume its decline. “This should be only temporary,” said Vicky Redwood, chief UK economist at Capital Economics.

    Review of 2009/10 – Part 3 – Cup highs and League lows After six years of decline, 2010 promised to be the turning point for Leeds United: on 1 January they led the League One table, eleven points clear of the third- placed club. They would never have a better opportunity of getting out of the third tier of English football. To add to the excitement they pulled off a memorable victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup at Old Trafford on 3 January. They won a passionate encounter by virtue of Jermaine Beckford‟s 19th-minute goal and a magnificent all round team display. Simon Grayson claimed it as a “fantastic day for this football club”, echoing the feelings of United fans everywhere as Leeds ended a 29-year drought at the Jermaine Beckford coolly beats Manchester United‟s Kuszczak and Brown to Theatre of Dreams. give Leeds a famous victory Strangely, however, the triumph triggered a loss of form in the League. Many laid the blame at the feet of Beckford‟s agent as he tried to secure a move to the Premiership. There were ongoing rumours of a big money bid in the transfer window. Beckford‟s existing contract was due to end in the summer when he would be available on a free transfer. This was the final opportunity for Leeds to cash in on him. Newcastle tabled a £1.25m bid, later increased to £1.5m and then £1.8m. Leeds insisted they would wait for a “ridiculous” offer, rumoured to be nothing less than £2m.
