Your Say

I had the honour of playing in the under 13,s and 16,s Leeds city boys and for Corpus Christi and the Leeds and District at under 18 level
One story i tell many times is when after playing for the under 13s me and my late dear old Dad were walking to the bus stop and my Dad turned to me and said"He is very greedy -that coloured lad".He then said"Although every time he gets the ball he scores!"Enough said lol

And Phil Ford going to Bradford in part exchange.

The finest player I ever saw play. Had the honour of watching his every game for a season at Leeds where he was head and shoulders above the rest of the side. Absolute class.
