So - my favorite Leeds story ...

In the summer of 2007, I was out grabbing a sandwich for lunch and had on an Aston Villa shirt.  The claret-and-blue is unmistakable to anyone who follows English football.  There was an older gentleman who came up to me and, with his obvious English accent, started giving me crap for being a Villa supporter.  I chuckled and played along asking him who his team was.

With an exasperated sigh and a bowed head, he muttered "Leeds"... and walked away.  

(this was just a few months after Leeds had been relegated out of the Championship into League One, the third-tier of English football)

Leeds GK reminds me of my early club years when a GK was picked by the guy who was the worst on the pitch and he would slowly start playing sweeper instead of keeper.

I've always been a Frank Lampard fan ... it'll make me only a tiny bit sad to keep him in the Championship after the final in Wembley.

Class guy. And I'm sure you'll be ok.

He seems like he sucks.

He's no John Terry.

Ahem. Soccer Gods...

Uh...No way that Harry Wilson scores again.

It would be cool if he did it in open play like Mount.
