Må vel bli på nett.
Noen mennesker tror at fotball gjelder liv eller død. Jeg liker ikke den innstillingen. Det er atskillig mer alvorlig enn som så. - Bill Shankly

Viasat tok post match-dekningen i Champions League til nye høyder med Liverpools elleville feiring i Roma. Hadde bare Jan Ã...ge Fjørtoft husket at han 1) var på jobb, og 2) holder med Leeds.

Er det kjent at Fjørtoft holder med Leeds? Spilt i Sheffield United og Boro!
I scored 24 goals helping my side win promotion back to the Premier League aged just 22. Then in my first season in the top flight I had bagged an impressive 15 goals by the end of January. My form earned me an England call-up. Am I a £35m striker? No. I am Michael Ricketts, February 2002.

Fjøra holdt med Leeds i barndommen. Mht "dagens Leeds" er det vel først og fremst at han har kompiser som har spilt for/ledet klubben...

Shaun McDermott Kristiansund BK sin keeper er lidenskapelig supporter av Leeds noe denne uttalelsen viser:
Sean er som faren Leeds-fan. Da kan man ikke akkurat beskyldes for å være medgangssupporter. Han har aldri grått på en fotballbane, sier han, men innrømmer at han har grått når Leeds har rykket ned.

There’s no doubting that Leeds United are one of the most famous football clubs in the country.

With lots of trophies to their name and hailing from a one-club city Leeds United’s fanbase is absolutely massive.


We’ve taken a look at some of the Elland Road team’s most famous supporters from across the globe.

There are stars from the big screen, music legends and sporting icons on this list.


There will be some you know, of course, but we’ll guarantee that there will be also others that you didn’t realise were marching on together with us all.

"I left some signed copies of my album for the team and Gordon rang me up and invited me to come to a game. He said ‘those dresses you wear on the cover of the album â€" you're not turning up in one of them are you?’."

And the two have been mates ever since.


Ken Hom

På spørsmål om han "ikke er Arsenalfan?".

"Alternativet var Spurs, ManUtd, Pool og Leeds. Da ble valget enkelt"

Skulle til å skrive at dette er på "lavde" som da Kardashians kledde på seg Slayer-tskjorte som "mote", men dette gjorde det mange hakk bedre. ;)
Marching on together!

Nikolai stilte i buss-setedrakta på årets fotballtrøyefredag så er nok en Leeds-gutt.
