It must have been sometime in 2005 and I knew that by then I he rarely spoke to people about football. He’d had nothing to do with the game since the time he left Leeds United in 1980. They had joked there that he was the Yorkshire Ripper. The police used to go round the pubs of Leeds and play the infamous hoax tape of the Geordie voice belonging to the guy who claimed to be the Ripper. They would ask, ‘Does anyone recognise this voice?’ Voices would shout back, ‘It’s Jimmy bloody Adamson.’ By 1980 he was none too popular at Elland Road.

  • Bobby Collins - Part 1 - an Appreciation
    Players - Bobby Collins - Part 1 - An appreciation Don Revie might have been the visionary architect behind Leeds United’s rise to footballing eminence, but it’s a fair bet that had Revie not had the wit, foresight and downright good fortune to bring Bobby Collins to Elland Road his grand design would have been smothered at birth. When Collins arrived at the club in March 1962, United were adrift at the bottom of Division Two and staring the ignominy of the Third Division starkly in the face. Five years later, as he departed for Bury, Leeds were the most feared club in England and well on their way to repeating the trick in Europe. The pocket-sized Napoleon – at his peak he stood 5ft 4in, weighed 10 stone and wore size four boots – was almost single-handedly responsible for the revival of a club that had been going nowhere fast. Revie was the brains behind the Leeds United resurrection, but Collins was the heart and soul, the rousing, restless, ferocious spirit that made sure the manager’s game plan was translated into bloody action when the players entered the arena, the Don’s Bobby Collins ... THE ENFORCER enforcer. Had the Scot not been there to make the difference it is conceivable that Revie and United would have faded into obscurity, and the point was never lost on the manager. Collins was always one of his favourites and he never tired of singing his praises, saying in The Leeds United Story: “He's the perfect example of what we in the game call a professional's professional.

Everton were also the first club to have a scoreboard installed in England The first match it was used was on the 20 November 1971 Everton v Southampton The brand new scoreboard, however, did not have enough room to display the goal scorer's names and simply displayed the goal scorers' shirt numbers instead: 7 9 7 9 8 9 9 71 The attendance that day was 28,718 — some 9,000 below the season average (21 games) Note: the 1-0 home win v Liverpool the week before drew twice as many — 56,293!
