Despite not scoring many goals, Baird's first spell at Leeds was a success. His aggression, whole­hearted attitude, skill and goals made him immensely popular amongst the Leeds fans. Baird was made Leeds captain by manager Billy Bremner at the start of the 1986–87 season and his performances alerted Portsmouth to his abilities, as he helped lead Leeds to both the FA Cup semi­final (lost 2–3 (aet) to Coventry City and the final of the inaugural Second Division promotion/First Division relegation play­offs. Leeds drew the two­legged play­offs final with Charlton Athletic (1–0, 0–1) but lost a one­off deciding rubber (1–2 aet) at St Andrews and remained in the Second Division. Portsmouth At the end of the season with Portsmouth having just been promoted, he moved to Portsmouth to help them in their quest to keep their division one status. He was sold for £285,000 having played 101 games and scored 37 goals for Leeds., but failed at a higher level, scoring only one goal in his 20 appearances for the club in the 1987–88 season. Leeds United (again) Portsmouth were however struggling financially and in March 1988, Baird was sold back to Leeds for a snip of the price they bought him for (£120,000). Baird was once again successful at Leeds picking up player of the year in 1989 but with the arrival of Lee Chapman to help with the promotion push in 1989–90 Baird was deemed surplus to requirements by Howard Wilkinson, having played 91 games and scored 21 goals Middlesbrough In January 1990 he was sold to Middlesbrough for £500,000 . Baird's involvement in the championship didn't stop there. On the last day of the season Baird scored two goals against Newcastle United, and this along with Leeds' victory over Bournemouth clinched promotion for Leeds over Newcastle in third place (Leeds winning the title on goal difference over Sheffield United). With Leeds winning the title Baird picked up a winners medal, even though he wasn't at Leeds any more due to him having played enough games for the club in the season. Baird stayed at Boro until the end of 1990–91 when he moved to Hearts. He later returned to England, playing for Bristol City, Plymouth Argyle and Brighton & Hove Albion before retiring in June 1998. Coaching and management After retiring from his playing career Ian went to Hong Kong taking charge of Instant­Dict, a team in their top division, and also the national side in 1999 for the 2000 Asian Cup qualifiers. He also played non­league football for Salisbury City (1997–2000) and Farnborough Town (2000–2001). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Baird 2/4 12/12/13 Ian Baird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After returning from Hong Kong he worked for a Leeds­based football agent but resigned after 3 years as he didn't enjoy the job. Ian set up his own contract hire and vehicle leasing company in 2003, called IBMH (Ian Baird Motor Holdings), and it is still successfully running. He took over the part­time managerial post at Havant & Waterlooville in November 2004. He currently works for IBMH, living in Southampton with his second wife and two teenage children. On 3 October 2007 he was appointed manager at Conference South rivals Eastleigh,[1] taking over from David Hughes. After five years in charge, he was dismissed on 11 September 2012.[2] Notes a. ^ The first goal in the 3–0 win for Plymouth Argyle at Lincoln City on 30 September 1995 that was originally given to Baird was later credited as an own­goal.[3] Ian Baird's authorised biography is currently work in progress and is set for publication in September 2013.

  • THE CITIZENS POST WCFC V Eastleigh FC Saturday 28Th July 2018 Pre-Season Friendly
    THE CITIZENS POST WCFC v Eastleigh FC Saturday 28th July 2018 Pre-Season Friendly Winchester City Football Club is a committee run members club and as such is an unincorporated association. THE CITIZENS POST TODAY’S VISITORS – EASTLEIGH FC CLUB HISTORY Playing home matches firstly on Southampton Common, and then at ‘Westfield’ in Swaythling, the new club were promoted into the Hampshire League in 1950 after two campaigns spent in the Southampton Senior League (West). Within another year, Athletic, (that appellation was dropped in 1973) had topped Division Three (West) and won the Hampshire Intermediate Cup. By 1956, Swaythling were playing in the 1st Division of the County league. They would return to that level in 1970 as champions of Division 2. In keeping with their early progress, the club moved to a new ground at Ten Acres in 1957 – which remains home to this day. The change to their current name was made in 1980, six years before Eastleigh F.C. became founder members of the Wessex League. The club settled at that level, until a distinguished period under the management of present Sutton United boss Paul Doswell which began in 2002/2003. Eastleigh were that season’s Wessex League Champions. Twelve months later, they finished 4th in the Southern Football League Division One East. The club were beneficiaries of the F.A.’s restructuring of the non-league pyramid, and were elevated to begin 2004/2005 in the Premier Division of the Isthmian League. On-pitch advancement was being matched off the field. A new stand was constructed in time for the Isthmian campaign, which the team finished with a run of 14 unbeaten matches.

But while LOST football wasn’t cool, some of us still loved it. Jon Howe take one final look back with DECADE nostalgia at the decade that football (almost) forgot... A game you might have forgotten March 25, 1989 n Leeds United 1 Portsmouth 0 On the face of it, a 1-0 end-of-season win against Portsmouth may appear to hold little significance, as yet another season was fading away without a serious promotion challenge being mounted. But upon closer inspection this game, rather than the result itself, was momentous in shaping the dizzying success the club was to achieve over the following three seasons. Lining up in a Leeds United shirt for the first time this day were 32-year-old Gordon Strachan (a £300,000 signing from Manchester United) and Chris Fairclough (a loanee to the end of the season whereupon a £500,000 fee with Tottenham Hotspur had been agreed). As statements of intent and transfer deadline moves went, the signings would these days be John enough to make Sky TV’s Jim White Gordon Sheridan shout incoherently until midnight.

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 March 13, 1988 n Leeds United 5 Sheffield United 0 The 1987/88 season had been an insufferable anti-climax following the enormity of the previous seasons’ two-pronged attempt at re-establishing the name of Leeds United. This 5-0 win offered an isolated moment of conviction as Leeds gathered momentum for an assault on the Play-Off places that would ultimately end in a familiar void of nothingness. It was also a red-letter day for Sheffield-born Wednesday fan John Pearson, an unlikely hero with a 27-minute second-half hat trick. The Leeds squad was about to undergo yet another major turnover, as Billy Bremner’s unsuccessful tenure drew to a close, and only a handful of the players on display would feature John Pearson regularly a few months later. But on a rain-soaked afternoon of gloriously mud-laden entertainment, that had the often signs of that were evident – although they battled manfully in slapstick incompetence of the 1980s written all over it, the the first half with Tony Agana and Peter Beagrie both going close fourth-highest crowd in all four divisions of 22,376, revelled in an to equalising Peter Swan’s close-range opener for Leeds that almost cruel superiority over their local rivals.
