Lee Bowyer Talks Leeds United, with Jon Howe
Y PHONE RINGS at 10.42am. It’s Lee Bowyer. Of course. He immediately apologises for not answering when I rang at the pre-arranged time of 9.30am; when he dropped his two six- year-old kids off at school he realised he had to attend a Harvest Festival assembly. I gave a knowing laugh, having been caught short in the same situation on the school run a few times. And here I was, swapping stories with Lee Bowyer on the humdrum trials of being a parent to young kids. Two normal blokes with normal concerns. We were aligned in the everyday travails of life’s rich tapestry, and yet fifteen years ago Lee Bowyer was my favourite Leeds United player. In fact, he was my ‘last’ favourite Leeds United player. After Lee Bowyer left Leeds United in 2003, the Catchinghi emotional strain of putting all my faith in one player seemed futile. Plus, well, you’ve watched Leeds United over the last decade, haven’t you? The enduring and relentless echo of ‘L’Bowya, L’Bowya’ around Elland Road has left more of up with the a lasting impression than the same chant for the perhaps more exalted Tony Yeboah. Purely because it was in our songbook for longer. Not simply out of habit, but as a result of performance; for years, every game, without fail. He was that good. In 2015, can you imagine Running such a thing? Lee Bowyer has endured a lifetime of not being able to fully explain himself. I initially approached him to write his autobiography.

Review of 2008/09 – Part 2 – Bouncing Back with Grayson
Review of 2008/09 – Part 2 – Bouncing back with Grayson The appointment of Simon Grayson as new Leeds United manager just before Christmas 2008 revived spirits at Elland Road after a lengthy losing run. The new man was delighted with the opportunity: "What I couldn't turn down was the chance to test myself ... The attraction for me is that I want to be the one who makes this club successful again ... Managers have come and gone and not been able to do that. I think I can. "This Leeds team are outside the Play Off positions and I'm not saying that we're going Simon Grayson at Elland Road after taking over as United manager in to win 10 on the trot like Blackpool did, but December 2008 it's always a possibility. That's why I'm not prepared to concede that automatic promotion has got away from us. "I told Karl (Oyston) straight away that I wanted to come. I think he knew that I'd give him that answer and so did everyone at Blackpool. From there it was down to the two clubs to sort things out, but there was no way I was going to let this opportunity pass me by ... I do wish it had been sorted in the manner I would have wanted after six good years there and that I'd walked away without any of this legal stuff going on above me, but these things happen in football. "The expectancy level at Leeds is higher than it is at a dozen clubs in the Championship and certainly every club in this division ..

A lot has been said and written since the passing away of Philemon “Chippa” Masinga, a day after the launch of Election Manifesto of the governing party, but allow me to pay our last respects to one of the gentlemen of the game of billions. He began his professional career at the famed football university of yesteryear known as Jomo Cosmos Football Club under the watchful eye of Roy Matthews and Jomo Sono – and he went to mesmerise many a defender with the late insanely gifted teenage Thomas “Chincha” Madigage and the maverick Augustine Makalakalane, just mention but a few of the stars that made up the Cosmos of the early 1990s. Theirs was a formidable, feared and respected outfit that contributed immensely to the early Bafana Bafana set up following readmission into the international stage as well as contributing the bulk of its squad to the all-conquering Orlando Pirates team of the mid 1990s that went on to be crowned African Champions in 1995.

Matches – 23 January 2010 – Tottenham H 2 Leeds
Matches – 23 January 2010 – Tottenham H 2 Leeds United 2 FA Cup fourth round – White Hart Lane – 35,750 Scorers: Beckford 2 (52 mins, 90 mins pen) Tottenham Hotspur: Gomes, Hutton, Dawson, Bassong, Bale, Rose (Palacios 57), Kranjcar (Keane 71), Modric, Jenas, Defoe, Crouch (Pavlyuchenko 71) Leeds United: Ankergren, Crowe, Bromby, Kisnorbo, Hughes, Howson, Doyle (Becchio 81), Kilkenny, Johnson (White 88), Snodgrass, Beckford In January 2010 the glory, glory days were back in an emphatic way for Leeds United: no sooner had the League One leaders pulled off an extraordinary FA Cup third round victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford, than they learned that they had been paired with Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in the competition‟s next stage. Tottenham had been one of the main beneficiaries of Leeds United‟s financial collapse of the previous decade, signing a number of former Elland Roaders during the fire sales that had been necessary to ensure the club‟s survival: Paul Robinson, Robbie Keane, Aaron Lennon and teenage starlet Danny Rose. Jonathan Woodgate had also arrived in North London after stays in Newcastle, Madrid and Middlesbrough. The pairing of the two clubs brought memories and inevitable thoughts of „what might have been‟ for United fans, and Leeds manager Simon Grayson acknowledged as much in the days leading up to the clash. “I think, regardless of what‟s in the opposition squad, there‟s a sadness of what‟s happened to the club and the decline... Not so long ago this club was in Europe and they were in the top six and wanting to improve to get to where they were 30 years ago under the likes of Don Revie, Billy Leeds manager Simon Grayson during the intense Cup-tie Bremner and Johnny Giles.
