Some news:

You've read all the facts about Leeds United you will ever need to know, now read the fiction.

I've written a coming-of-age novel about male friendship rooted in football & counterculture. It's called 'Days of Treacle'.

Big respect Patrick Bamford. A scorer of great goals and for a short time big teams couldn't handle him. His body let him down right at his peak (17 PL goals, 27, England cap). Always felt this must have absolutely crushed him, but through it all a stand-up guy until the end. Go well #lufc

Merry Christmas one and all
