The day that football died

The Don RIP
7 Years of Lies, while L-U-F-C dies

"I shall not rest until Leeds United are kicked out of the football league. Their fans are the scum of the earth, absolute animals and a disgrace. I will do everything in my power to make sure this happens."

Never will be another like him. The day a part of football died with his passing. In peace.

Rest in Peace, Big Man.
Most said it started with you, some would say it ended after you.

For those who never knew The Don and want to know more about his creation of the Glory Years Team and after - or for those who did experience that time in our history who want to reminisce - I've just posted an excellent 5 part documentary in the MOTForum Video Section.

Enjoy! :thup:
