Obviously in the days before you was a paid up member of the Party of Law & Order Baz?I remember a game in the 70s that we won 2-1
The fuckers ambushed us on a bridge near the station but we held our ground and nobody took a backwards step
Plod not happy and really waded in!

I can testify for Spurs being a lifetime thing but politics are differentUnlike you Baz it's been Spurs and Labour for life!
As far as I know, they had a reputation of playing dirty back in the 60's when they were managed by Don Revie, didn't help that they were quite successful under him. Aside from that, Leeds's fanbase has a bad reputation; racist, aggresive, antisemticic, you name it.I only found out last year how hated Leeds were for their football team/ fans.
Was a bit surprised as I've never heard a bad word about the place or the uni.
Genuinely: what is it about them? And are they as bad as West Ham?

Brian Clough even told the squad he had just become manager of that they should throw their medals in the bin as they had won them by cheating!!

Shame as I like most other places in Yorkshire, but Leeds, not for me
