Supporting Leeds United (Welcome & Introductions)

[ron devie]

Late 60's

Kid growing up in Gloucestershire - born elsewhere, dad a Geordie (but did not push it onto me), mother a scot.

Who else could I follow - there was only one team to be chosen.

First big memory was the FA Cup final / replay against the blue scum. It has been a joy and a struggle since then.

Welcome back after nearly eight years absence.

A fan out of a wonderful era

As that unfolded I worked part-time at the Dean Court Hotel downstairs bar in York - inside the Bar Walls, probably 100 yards from the Minster. The replay against Chelscum (at Maine Road I believe) was traumatic and I refused to serve an a*shole who disrespected Leeds that evening.

By the way I was (rightly) disciplined for my actions

at Maine Road I believe

Old Trafford

A real brain-teaser there mate

Guessing Leeds played them on the last day of the season when we won a league or gained promotion

Other than that answer, I don't know

OK put it another way in chronological order

Bristol Rovers

Cardiff
Spurs
Birmingham City

Bristol
Liverpool
Leeds

Have supported Leeds now since 1976. My came Dad came to England during the Don Review era and he started to support them. So, he rubbed off. Because I live in London its was hard to go and watch a game, but my first ever game was against Arsenal and we won 1-0.

Welcome Glory ...

[Billy Sollocks]

Born a Leeds fan

I can never understand why anyone could ever change the team they support no matter who they are
If ya a ????? Fan you stay that way till you drop

[Billy Sollocks]

Supported them since my first memory, when my Dad took me to Elland Road for a summer training day thing when i was 7. Went to my first game V Blackburn Rovers in the cup (they was in the second tier) Danny Mills scored a free kick i think we won 1-0.
Then second game was V Zurich Grasshoppers in then the uefa cup, also went to a few the season we got relagated.

As i got older started going to more and more game now i very rarely miss a match home or away. Got the bug & just need some more joy on the pitch now. Being nearly 24 im not fortunate enough to witness the glory days.

I would never think twice about even cheering on another club unless they was playing the scum. My dads side are Yorkshire like me & mums are scousers so i could of been a Liverpool fan but thank the lord im a mighty white.

Thanks for sharing your story DW!

Started supporting Leeds in 1972. FA Cup Final.
Also followed my home town team Scarborough when they were semi-pro and then into the old Division 4 (under Warnock).
Sadly now gone. Hope its the only one?!
