Football For Cancer Result Find out what happened when the Leeds United Supporters’ Trust assembled a special XI to help raise money to battle cancer! Heidi Haigh Honorary Member Heidi Haigh writes about her recent trip to Wigan. WE SNATCH AN EXCLUSIVE CHAT WITH 02 Meet your Trust BOARD MEMBERS In the October newsletter, we fully introduced the new board line up following the elections back in August. We held our first board meet- ing before the Nottingham Forest game on Saturday 27th October, before heading to Elland Road to kick start the foodbank collection. Lots of discussion and lots of exciting plans ahead – watch this space! Left to right; James Lund – Podcast; Adam Willerton – Secretary; Mark Roberts – Treasurer; Kevin Markey – Communications; Pete Emmerson – Trust Projects; Clair Hufton – Future Trust; Steve White – Chairman (absent Robert Endeacott – Vice Chair; Josh Cawthorne – Web & Infrastructure; Dean Pearson – Memberships) LEEDS UNITED SUPPORTERS’ TRUST | NOVEMBER 2018 03 Leeds United Supporters' Trust Support FOOTBALL FOR CANCER FRIDAY 2 NOV | WEST RIDINGS 7 - 4 FT HT 5-1 Overall a great occasion! A thrilling game all in the name of raising money for families affected by cancer. Even the rain held off for a couple of hours! Both teams gave everything on the night in what was a closely contested game. FFC took an early lead, scoring in the opening five minutes but the game changed when former Leeds United midfielder David Norris took to the field and equalised. Our very own James Lund got his team ahead with a cute near post finish. Lund then set up Daniel Merrick who finished emphatically to take a 3-1 lead. There was enough time for Norris to complete a first half hat-trick; his second was a perfectly timed header to convert a clever cross from Mike Johnston from the right hand side, soon followed by being in exactly the right place at the right time to tap home at the far post. Some excellent saves throughout the half from Jon Weston in goal meant that the Trust XI lead 5-1 at the break. FFC fought back early in the second half, storming out of the gate with three well worked goals in just ten minutes. Riding the storm, the Trust XI found their form and began to play some excellent football. Passing in ways that would make Bielsa proud! They rallied to restore their two-goal lead through Neil Garrett who eventually got his second late on to round off a thoroughly enjoyable night. 7-4 the final score to the Trust XI. LEEDS UNITED SUPPORTERS’ TRUST | NOVEMBER 2018 04 This match was part of FFC’s 10:10:10 event; playing ten games in ten different cities on ten consecutive days. They travelled the length of the country from Sunderland back down to their native Portsmouth, completing a full 90 minutes each day, an incredible effort for an excellent cause from a truly great group of guys. There’s still time to donate if you’d like to get involved, visit their Just Giving page for more info: https://goo.gl/f8ihz1. Our heartfelt thanks go to the FFC charity for inviting us to be a part of their event, to Angus Kinnear and Lauren Blumfield at Leeds United for helping us with sourcing a beautiful all white kit, Ursula at the West Ridings FA and to everyone who gave up their time to play – great effort guys! LEEDS UNITED SUPPORTERS’ TRUST | NOVEMBER 2018 02 lust 02 CHAT Chatting With BRIANWI DEANETH LEEDS UNITED SUPPORTERS’ TRUST | NOVEMBER 2018 06 03 innie Jones was transferred to Leeds United in 1989 V from Wimbledon in what was then a surprise signing. He was part of the team which finished as champions of the old Second Division, winning promotion to Division One. After helping Leeds to the top-flight, Jones proved his discipline under the stewardship of Howard Wilkinson and the captaincy of Gordon Strachan, receiving only three yellow cards during the entire season, scoring some crucial goals along the way. Vinnie left Leeds early in the 1990–91 season after the signing of Gary McAllister as a new midfield took shape along with youngsters David Batty and Gary Speed and of course ‘Captain Marvel’ Strachan. The Trust had the opportunity to chat to one of our esteemed Honorary Member’s Vinnie whilst he was on a visit to West Yorkshire. What are your happiest memories from your time at Leeds? The biggest ones that stand out really was going up on the train. I was going to meet Leeds and I was going to stop off at Aston Villa on the way back, but I’d already made my mind up there at Leeds and someone got wind of it. I was walking to the station and it was already on one of the billboards ‘Vinnie signs for Leeds’ and that’s when the lid was off but I was supposed to go and talk to Aston Villa but I decided not to bother and I’d shook [Bill] Fotherby’s hand, you know what he’s like, it was a gentleman’s agreement. That was how it was done on to start with. And I think the other good memory was when we came back from Bournemouth. I had a BMW with a sun roof and there was myself, Batty and Speedy hanging out of the top of it and the windows, driving round and round the Leeds City Square with all the supporters going mental. LEEDS UNITED SUPPORTERS’ TRUST | NOVEMBER 2018 07 03 What was it like to play under Howard Wilkinson? I loved it and still to this day I’ve a lot of respect for him. I talk to him now and then. I have a great admiration for him and as soon as the first day I met him and he told me what we were going to do and the pre-season plan, I just knew I’d made the right decision. I didn’t know at the time that the city, Bill Fotherby and everybody else had thrown the kitchen sink at it. We didn’t really know, but it was sh*t or bust as much. But it gelled, [Lee] Chapman was a massive signing for us at the right time, him coming and banging in a few goals. And we had Ian Baird - I loved playing with Bairdy, he gave everything. Bobby Davison got injured, but Bairdy couldn’t score a goal. I think he managed to score one at the far post – he’d had a great pre-season, but just couldn’t score and that’s how it goes. Bobby was scoring a few and Chapman, I think, was a massive turning point for us. Why do you think you connected so well with Leeds and the fans in the short time you spent at the club? I think it was the Boro game. I got injured at Newcastle the game before. It was the fittest I’d been in my life and going into the game, I played a stupid little five-a-side on the Friday night when we travelled up. I went up for a header and I came down on my toe and went over on my ankle – I was absolutely gutted, absolutely gutted. Anyway, I came on as sub, I think we were 0-1 down and I put the ball through and it over run, Bobby Davison knocked it through and it was a nothing ball and bounced off the keeper and I just knocked it in. I just turned and ran to the Kop – I was going f*****g mental and overcome with joy and the Kop just kind of all stepped back and went Whooooa – it was like they looked at me and said ‘You’ll do for us’. LEEDS UNITED SUPPORTERS’ TRUST | NOVEMBER 2018 08 03 I think the fans saw it in my eyes what it meant to me and it was only a draw, I think we drew 1-1 and I was still injured in that game (Editors Note: We won 2-1 Vinnie, but it was a long time ago!) I came back too early and my ankle went again in the Hull game. I was gonna come off and you could see me rolling in agony and I got up and ran it off and said to Sutty the physio [Alan Sutton] ‘Let me try and run it off’ and then I scored that great goal and from that moment on my ankle was weak forever more! Who was your favourite player you played alongside at Leeds and why? I had a lot of favourites. I had a lot of respect for Strachan. Leading into the season there was a lot of talk who would be captain – me or him but he was the obvious choice and he shone out. Fun wise Mel Sterland. He was great fun. I enjoyed going in every day and listening to his banter and everything else that went with it. At that point, I’d taken Batts under my wing. He was like my little brother. I even took him to buy his first tie. Can you believe the little gremlin didn’t even have a tie? I became very close to him and his family.

But while LOST football wasn’t cool, some of us still loved it. Jon Howe looks back with nostalgia DECADE at the decade that football forgot... A game you might have forgotten November 8, 1980 n Leeds United 0 Arsenal 5 While Leeds fans of the modern era have fresh memories of humiliating home defeats dished out by the football colossi of Blackpool, Watford, Nottingham Forest and Preston, such a public dishonouring on our own doorstep rarely occurred during the 1960s and ’70s, even as Revie’s great side began to break up and the club descended into that murky tunnel called “transition”. That all changed, of course, when the clock ticked over into the 1980s. The visit of Arsenal found Leeds slowly finding their feet after that legendary sniffer of all things loose in the penalty area, Allan Clarke, had taken over as manager. Leeds were struggling to find the net and Clarke shored up his defence before worrying Leeds manager Allan Clarke with his assistant Martin Wilkinson. about being too expansive Eddie at the other end. It was a his most productive season in an Arsenal shirt with 16 league Gray somewhat uncharacteristic appearances – picked at Leeds’ failings and executed a stance for one of the club’s stunning 5-0 win that left Elland Road dumbstruck. greatest goalscorers, but one Leeds were 2-0 down by half-time with young goalkeeper that few argued with.

A game you might Jeff Chandler have forgotten May 3, 1980: n Leeds United 2 Manchester United 0 Ask most Leeds fans if Kevin Hird, Derek Parlane or Jeff Chandler made any significant contribution to Leeds United’s post-Revie travails, and you would most likely be met by a flurry of four-letter words. However, they all featured in the starting XI of this famous victory at the end of the crushingly disappointing 1979/80 season.

A game with such mammoth Hird party-sabotaging potential couldn’t be ignored by the Leeds faithful. Add another opportunity to have a pop at comic-book villains Gordon McQueen and Joe Jordan and the 39,625 crowd was nearly 24,000 up on the previous home game, as a season of renewed hope ended in a sorry 11th-placed finish. with Brian Flynn working tirelessly and Derek Leeds started hungrily, eager to create Paul Madeley, on his 700th appearance, Parlane a party of their own, and just as news marshalling with authority in defence. emerged that Liverpool had gone ahead Both sides went close in a more even at Anfield, the paper plates and sausage second half, but the game and title race rolls were well and truly out as Derek were over as a contest when Kevin Hird, Parlane dispatched a Carl Harris cross in possibly his most effective game in a to send Elland Road wild on 12 minutes.
