Right! He's looking great and I couldn't be happier. Not a Leeds fan myself but went a few times in the 80's. Proper ground, proper fans. Glad you stayed up
Mick Jones, Terry Yorath, Terry cooper, Trevor Cherry, Gary Spark, David Harvey, David Steward, Mick Bates, one and only MR DON REVIE. No Philip/Raphinha cry babies around then. Pure great footballers. Plus they would give it and take it.
Eddie Gray got the greatest Leeds goal ever v Burnley in the early 70's I am of course open to correction. What a legend this man is and of Marcelo is as well
Bielsa will always be a legend within the city in Leeds and for fans of Leeds United fans all over the world, If he was seen in Leeds within the next couple of months he would be mobbed on sight and offered a stay at any top Hotel within Leeds for a week free of charge. That's the kind of love we have for him. The same is to be said for Eddie Gray another huge legend for us LEEDS UNITED Fans - wherever they may be in the world. It's okay for people to have different views AND OPINIONS on MARCELO BIELSA.. Even Legendary players like Eddie Gray. We dont hold it against him... We love them both.. that's how we do it at Leeds United,,,,,
But without Bielsa you've stayed in the Prem... Bielsa is a good coach. That's about it. One day Leeds fans will realise that he ran your players into the ground, they were ready for June by October.
@@emmettoliver bielsa is a legend and always will be to Leeds fans whether he got sacked or not that won’t change… people just need to remember bielsa as a hero to Leeds whether people think we’d of stayed up with him or gone down doesn’t even matter at all…
Very happy for Leeds United. The team fights for Jesse and each other. Very excited to see the players that are brought in this window. I'd love to see Tyler Adams at the club - he's a perfect fit.
I still don’t buy the whole ‘teams found us out under bielsa’. We played the same way every game, any team had every bit of information they could possibly want to try and work us out yet we still managed to finish 9th with 59 points (enough for europa league this season). It only began to truly fall apart when the core of the team wasn’t playing due to injuries and the confidence began to dwindle from the lack of positive results.
First game I remember was the 1972 cup final, my son bought me a picture of the team with Billy on their shoulders and a very long haired Eddy Gray, its on the wall next to me now.
Marcelo Bielsa ignited the Leeds fans during his time there. He got the fans loving the club and football again, it is his doing that we see now from the fans. Thank you Marcelo.
Not buying Bielsa resisted new players but he did only want players he thought would improve the team and they needed to be fit enough to play his style of football. We've been fortunate this year, let's now see if lessons have been learnt as it's all about consolidation in the PL for the next few years.
Absolutely delighted Leeds stayed up this season. Not a Leeds fan as such but a club that size HAS to be in the Premier League. Watched them in the Revie era and loved the way they played football 🙏🙏🙏
EDDIE!!! What a hero 🙌 When Eddie talks you listen 💪 Wait until his nephew Archie Gray starts playing only 16 but already showing great promise 👏 Simons right we are a massive club and with a well balanced SQUAD we will come good again! 🤍💛💙 Now Radz get the 49ers to put in some dollars into this project ASAP Villa nearly signed 3 players already 🏃♂️ 💨 Chop Chop Chop👏👏👏💵💵💵🏆🏆🏆🤞🤞 IF YOU DONT SPEND!! You get left behind UNFORTUNATELY that’s what football is about nowadays, 16years long hard years away from the PL has hit hard. The Bielsa era has brought us closer than ever before! 👊⚽️ ALAW MOT

Marcelo Bielsa said he only wants to sign players in January who are better than we already have, if Leeds can't find better than James as a striker, Klick in midfield and about seven others we should give up now. Eddie, you clearly didn't know Bielsa.
and you seem pretty clueless fullstop. Have you considered watching girls football instead. Bielsa wanted James so much, look how that turned out. We bought a headless chicken.
Bielsa was consistent- He would sign players IF they were better than what we had. WTF was he been shown by Orta? Orta showed him Aaronson who was never coming in January in a million years....what a waste of time that was. If in Jan, Eddie is right that they didnt sign players bc of Bielsa then Radz needs to resigh and sell the club. It was obvious we needed players and irrespective of the coaches wishes they should have acted. Eddie is a legend but he knows his invites and conversations with the snr management would stop if he criticises the owner I suspect.
He's lying. Source: Phil Hay. Bielsa interview: Bielsa on transfers. Specifically makes the point that he has never said he doesn't want signings next month. He just wants players who are better than what is currently here and he's aware of how much the club have spent already (£130m on the squad was the figure he used). Bielsa said that on the basis of prior investment, it wouldn't be fair for him to demand anything of Leeds (which is not to say they won't make signings in January). Says Leeds have been "so responsible in the construction of the squad." Bielsa: "What I don't have any doubts about is that the club will always do the maximum they can to resolve the needs which present themselves." #lufc
Simon was right to question him believing everything the owners tell him as the interview Radrizzani has just given to Sky Sports confirms that Eddie Gray was lying about Bielsa as was Radrizzani.
Why do they keep saying that Bielsa didn't want new signings? Bielsa said it more than once in his press conferences: new signings, yes, but new signings that were better than what he already had. Quality over quantity. And he did say yes to Aaronson, but the board couldn't make it happen, for whatever reason.
Eddie gray is right,no one knows Leeds utd better than him he,a dedicated most of his life to the club.Bielsa did,nt communicate with the players,his lack of English was always a problem,I wish Simon Jordan would,nt keep interrupting guests on the show,let them talk.
Marsch won four games: two teams in relegation, one due to expulsion and the last due to another expulsion- Leeds would have also achieved it with bielsa
How sad that they have to use gray for this, beyond respect for him, I saw and heard Victor arguing for the youth record model, instead of established ones, to save and bet. The same youth that anecdotally with the Spaniard and the Brazilian boycotted Marcelo's locker room. today they don't play anything, they are ghosts of what they were, but "the fault lies with marcelo who didn't want incorporations" not with the lazy. I celebrate that they have not fallen (although I think they deserved it) just so they don't blame Bielsa. And God willing, today Carlos's team comes up, he plays good football and we'll see if Mr. Hug is so good when they face each other
The fact that Eddie Gray only got 12 caps for Scotland is an absolute scandal. The guy was an absolute magician with a ball at his feet, but maybe he was just born in the wrong era. If he was 20 years younger, he would have gone down as one of the biggest legends in football history.
I agree with Simon Jordan on a lot of things he says but I do disagree with his comments on Marsch, I think Jesse is the right manager for this Leeds team and I hope it goes well for him.
Leeds needs to improve massively if they're to match their 9th place finish. Firstly, sell players like kalvin Phillips, raphinha, cooper, Bamford, Dallas, Harrison and klich. They're holding the club back. Gelhardt and Meslier need to be loaned too and then begin the rebuild.
@@mrnobody4237 I never said sell them now. just start the process and see the result. People do not realize that Leeds, despite their protracted hiatus, are massive and should not settle on merely surviving in the division. Top 5, European football and a cup run should be a bare minimum, in my view. Eddie Gray, Wilkinson and Revie would not accept 17th place.
So your idea is to sell all your best players because they only managed 17th.And replace them with..Man. City.How many billions do you have?Man City may be 2 ND richest in the world.Still don't understand why they aren't sanctioned.PSG also.
Unfortunately Eddie Gray is paid as a Leeds ambassador by Radz & Board, and he also has family members working at the club , so what do you want him to say! I’m sad that he is a mercenary but it is what it is , I still admire him as a Leeds legend. But he is so wrong about the communication skill of Bielsa, he communicates in a different way, not kissing not hugging , not Gandhi , not Madre Teresa. The problem were the injuries , and the lack of real Investments …not Bielsa!! Bielsa knows more about players than Radrizani or the Board! Bielsa’s wanted, De Paul, BuenDia, Ben White, etc… so Eddie please shut up! Marsh won only 4 games , 2 against the relegated teams, an 2 against teams with 10 & 9 players! So we still didn’t see Marsch beating not even a mid table team with 11 players!! And don’t make me talk about Jesse’s style of football because you know it is complete rubbish ! We concede and don’t attack! We were completely lucky lucky lucky to stay up, nobody can even get credit for staying in the premier league! NOBODY!!! Bielsa showed us the best football we have seen in Decades!!! Eddie , you are a Leeds Idol but you are also a MERCENARY! Simon!! I agree with you!! I’m glad you were “my voice” pushing back to Eddie’s bullshit! Thank you!!
@@It.was.me.I.let.the.dogs.out. Oh Nooooo...he was kissing Bielsa's butt every time he had the chance until Bielsa was sacked. Then as part of the organized huge Leeds "damage Control" to shield the Owner/Board/even Marsch image !! Most of the local Newspapers, and Pundits were directed to help with this too, blaming Bielsa for almost everything without any fact, just running ignorant rumours and having these puppets (Eddie "the mercenary" included). Did you notice on the last game how Victor Orta "forced" the fans to cheer Jesse's name!?? that is part of the manipulation strategy and manipulator personality. Unfortunately it looks like those fans were very easy too manipulate and in general they also are very obedient and blind when they repeat the nonsense is published/said by these puppets. Very Sad!! One more thing, Eddie was and is an Idol, no question...but it is also true that he is profiting from his "very vintage" achievements for more than 20 yrs, he likes that and the attention he gets besides the money he gets to kiss Radz's and the Board's ass and their decisions. Remember, He was in the same position as Jesse's when Leeds was relegated, 19 yrs ago but still people didn't blame him one bit.
Eddie is 100% right. Bielsa played football on his head. He thought league one players could be top 6. He had to go. Its Leeds United not Bielsa United. Leeds fans need to stop this hero worship of our worst ever manager on results in the Premier. Marsch will show you next season how poor Bielsa was. The players that cannot adapt to 3 or 4 different formations and system's must be moved on.
Wrong bielsa built Leeds and guess what there right where he left them sitting happy in the premier league Jesse is now left to see what he can do with a full proper season at the helm if we’d have gone down now that would have destroyed what bielsa achieved and built happily we survived…. 😁
Eddie Gray is a Leeds legend and can say whatever he wants, regardless if we agree or not, Bielsa will always be a legend in my eyes because he came in and gave the club life again, Bielsa awoke the sleeping giant and we wouldn't be where we are without him.
MB got Leeds to the prem . He would not sign players who wasn’t better than the ones we already had .Eddie Gray can’t say anything bad because he’s part of Radz back room team . And to say teams found out how we played is absolutely rubbish. How long as pep and Klop been at Man City & Liverpool respectively they haven’t change . The truth is Leeds had injuries probably nine players at all the same time , no manager could cope with that. Radz panicked and pulled the trigger . And just I mean just got away with it . MB was the best manager the premier as ever seen , no one will better his way . Leeds was lucky to have him , because we would be a mid table championship team still today . But he’s gone now and I wish JM all the best , can’t blame him for taking the job who wouldn’t. Time will tell . Good luck JM I hope you prove me wrong. 🤍💛💙
Bielsa is an absolute ICON. And forever will be. He did so much more than just get us promoted like 3 managers do every year according to some pundits who don’t have a clue. There’s a reason there’s a 40k stadium in Argentina named after him. His sacking had done nothing to tarnish his legacy in leeds.
@@v35tan27 who says we were down? were never in the bottom 3 under bielsa, he was sacked after playing something like 5 top 6 sides in 7 matches too. and with phillips soon returning from injury. i think we would have survived
@@ronoccc He'd lost the dressing room and was no longer communicating with the board. We were in freefall, the games we got points in we were lucky and any team that wanted to beat us just had to have their front line drop deep and let their midfield pile into our box unchallenged. We were tactically a shambles and the players no longer believed in his methods. Anyone with eyes could see how horrible we were for this entire season.
@@ronoccc all fair opinions but nobody know for a fact if he’s keep us up or down so let’s just remember him as the legends he is and forever will be to Leeds king marcelo will never be forgotten brought the good times back to Leeds
@@v35tan27 he’d lost the dressing room and wasn’t communicating with the board, you sound like you work at quite a high level at the club? Either that or you are just repeating things you hear in the media.
His time was up, as a leeds fan I think we would have gone down if we still had bielsa. We needed the change and I think we give Jesse a chance. I live Bielsa and appreciate everything he did for us, he is truly a club legend and icon. One of the best managers we've ever had, but we need to move on and march on TOGETHER! ALAW!!
@@bigkuriboh3814 Can't see a situation where Bielsa is unable to beat Watford, Norwich, 10 man Wolves and 9 man Brentford. You really think he couldn't have managed results against those teams?
Brentford weren’t at the races yesterday because they had nothing to play for? Do your research, Brentford wanted to send us down yesterday after the “rivalry” that’s been created. Look at Canos’ reaction to equalising (in a game which supposedly meant nothing)… Ivan Toney reposted the “mind the gap” video, Frank also wanted to send us down. Don’t talk about luck because we’ve certainly not had it this season
It must be said/reminded that obviously English was a barrier for him 'cause Bielsa is an incredible communicator..public and personal...lookup some of this interviews in Spanish back in the Chile National team days...or even the Athletic Bilbao days..
Had the pleasure of being in the company of my football hero Eddie on a works Xmas do when I was doing my coaching badges at ER, me and the rest of the trainee coaches were just setting off on the mini bus to Boroughbridge when Eddie stopped the bus and asked if he could come along with us. He came on the bus with a 24 pack of McEwans lager.
Had pleasure of meeting Eddie and have a nice conversation about football greats. Pure gent and he is certainly on my list of Leeds greats. MOT.
Eddie is 74 years old, he looks like a Hollywood film star. Absolute legend. mot⚽️
Right! He's looking great and I couldn't be happier. Not a Leeds fan myself but went a few times in the 80's. Proper ground, proper fans. Glad you stayed up
He's such a great bloke as well.
Great to see Eddie looking so well. Him and Lorimer, Giles, Bremner, Madley, Charlton, Hunter, Reaney, Clarke etc, all the heros of my youth.
Mick Jones, Terry Yorath, Terry cooper, Trevor Cherry, Gary Spark, David Harvey, David Steward, Mick Bates, one and only MR DON REVIE. No Philip/Raphinha cry babies around then. Pure great footballers. Plus they would give it and take it.
Fellow Leeds fans , we all know Bielsa is a forever club legend and we can also agree with Eddie ... it's okay chill ;)
Agree.
@Spotless Mind: Leeds United was relegated whilst Alan Clarke was manager in the 1982. Bremner was sacked in '88.
come on man .. finish celebrating..the season is done, start the firesale NOW !! ,and start building your team..what would Wilkinson and Revie do..
@Spotless Mind : Will always, always love Sniffer boy!
Err we also disagree with Eddie as well, both he and Bielsa are Leeds legends but he’s doing a bit of PR work for the club
Eddie Gray - Living legend!
Eddie Gray got the greatest Leeds goal ever v Burnley in the early 70's I am of course open to correction. What a legend this man is and of Marcelo is as well
Definitely one of the best by Eddie but my personal favourite is Clarke's winner in the 72 Cup Final.
Respect from Glasgow Rangers to Leeds United🔴⚪🔵
This guy is the epitome of heart and soul of the club. If you go to the ground more than twice a season...you'll bump into him.
Eddie looking in tremendous nick , had the pleasure of playing golf with him a few years ago , lovely man .

Who's idea was the small squad? Who turned down players when injuries mounted up? Bielsa was a nutter.
Exactly right.Nathan.
Defence was unsettled Moving three players to accommodate one absentee is foolish.Defences are built on communication and a kind of robotic symbiosis.

The fact that Eddie Gray only got 12 caps for Scotland is an absolute scandal. The guy was an absolute magician with a ball at his feet, but maybe he was just born in the wrong era. If he was 20 years younger, he would have gone down as one of the biggest legends in football history.
Eddie suffered with injuries which prevented many more caps as he was one of the best for club and Country
Legend
Eddie Gray coached me at my school a few times. Wonderful human. Can’t stand Leeds but tip me hat to proper legends.
Did you ever get coached by the other Leeds legend? Jimmy Saville.🤣
@@It.was.me.I.let.the.dogs.out. no not Jimmy. But your mother was a good coach 😅
I agree with Simon Jordan on a lot of things he says but I do disagree with his comments on Marsch, I think Jesse is the right manager for this Leeds team and I hope it goes well for him.
"For me this business is about"
The manager can't be any more American.
@Spotless Mind he’s not that stupid. He’s also managed in Austria and Germany were he’d be very aware teams can get relegated
@Spotless Mind hahahaha!
@Spotless Mind I heard it was pretty disappointing to him that there was no half-time show with Beyoncé in it.
@Spotless Mind And no Kiss Cam :(
eddie does look a picture of himself 30 yr ago..those training sessions with the great don...
Leeds needs to improve massively if they're to match their 9th place finish. Firstly, sell players like kalvin Phillips, raphinha, cooper, Bamford, Dallas, Harrison and klich. They're holding the club back. Gelhardt and Meslier need to be loaned too and then begin the rebuild.
Troll lol.
@@mrnobody4237 I never said sell them now. just start the process and see the result. People do not realize that Leeds, despite their protracted hiatus, are massive and should not settle on merely surviving in the division. Top 5, European football and a cup run should be a bare minimum, in my view. Eddie Gray, Wilkinson and Revie would not accept 17th place.
So your idea is to sell all your best players because they only managed 17th.And replace them with..Man. City.How many billions do you have?Man City may be 2 ND richest in the world.Still don't understand why they aren't sanctioned.PSG also.
If there's one player that played for LEEDS
⚽️💙💛Super Leeds United💛💙⚽️
I thought that was Barry Hearn
Leeds stattos might correct me on this but didn't Eddie fail to make enough 1st team appearances to earn a medal in the 73/74 season?
Could well be true.He was abused by opposition defenders and missed a lot of games with long term injury .Still fit and string and a legend
Will the Leeds fans ever like Jessie March? I'm not feeling it.
⚽️💛💙Eddie Grey💙💛⚽️
he looks half Anthony Hopkins half Bryan Cranston
There is only one Eddie Gray , MOT
Hopefully onwards and upwards for the whites
Eddie you are a legend and always will be, but you are talking utter nonsense about M.B.
Love Eddie but my word this guy must get payed well by Andrea
Simon is a secret Leeds supporter
Unfortunately Eddie Gray is paid as a Leeds ambassador by Radz & Board, and he also has family members working at the club , so what do you want him to say! I’m sad that he is a mercenary but it is what it is , I still admire him as a Leeds legend. But he is so wrong about the communication skill of Bielsa, he communicates in a different way, not kissing not hugging , not Gandhi , not Madre Teresa. The problem were the injuries , and the lack of real
Investments …not Bielsa!! Bielsa knows more about players than Radrizani or the Board!
Bielsa’s wanted, De Paul, BuenDia, Ben White, etc… so Eddie please shut up!
Marsh won only 4 games , 2 against the relegated teams, an 2 against teams with 10 & 9 players! So we still didn’t see Marsch beating not even a mid table team with 11 players!! And don’t make me talk about Jesse’s style of football because you know it is complete rubbish ! We concede and don’t attack! We were completely lucky lucky lucky to stay up, nobody can even get credit for staying in the premier league! NOBODY!!!
Bielsa showed us the best football we have seen in Decades!!! Eddie , you are a Leeds Idol but you are also a MERCENARY!
Simon!! I agree with you!! I’m glad you were “my voice” pushing back to Eddie’s bullshit! Thank you!!
You are talking nonsense. Eddie is his own man, he has no need to be a puppet for anyone.
@@It.was.me.I.let.the.dogs.out. Oh Nooooo...he was kissing Bielsa's butt every time he had the chance until Bielsa was sacked. Then as part of the organized huge Leeds "damage Control" to shield the Owner/Board/even Marsch image !! Most of the local Newspapers, and Pundits were directed to help with this too, blaming Bielsa for almost everything without any fact, just running ignorant rumours and having these puppets (Eddie "the mercenary" included). Did you notice on the last game how Victor Orta "forced" the fans to cheer Jesse's name!?? that is part of the manipulation strategy and manipulator personality. Unfortunately it looks like those fans were very easy too manipulate and in general they also are very obedient and blind when they repeat the nonsense is published/said by these puppets. Very Sad!!
One more thing, Eddie was and is an Idol, no question...but it is also true that he is profiting from his "very vintage" achievements for more than 20 yrs, he likes that and the attention he gets besides the money he gets to kiss Radz's and the Board's ass and their decisions. Remember, He was in the same position as Jesse's when Leeds was relegated, 19 yrs ago but still people didn't blame him one bit.
Lol you want a 60 plus old man to mix with youngins . You kidding uh
What are you talking about ?
jesse marsh the new leeds legend
Jordan talks such relentless tripe
Eddie Gray . Leeds legend. He looks like he took care of himself. I'm 37 and am a mess.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
if they keep the American manager , they will go down next season
Nice one mystic Meg
On what basis? He did well considering the circumstances
Perhaps Jesse can claim to have Irish ancestors and change his nationality.
Eddie is 100% right. Bielsa played football on his head. He thought league one players could be top 6. He had to go. Its Leeds United not Bielsa United. Leeds fans need to stop this hero worship of our worst ever manager on results in the Premier. Marsch will show you next season how poor Bielsa was. The players that cannot adapt to 3 or 4 different formations and system's must be moved on.
Fans obsessed with a foreign coach. All caught up in their hubris while they were heading for relegation.
Bielsa built and destroy Leeds, March saved them .
Wrong bielsa built Leeds and guess what there right where he left them sitting happy in the premier league Jesse is now left to see what he can do with a full proper season at the helm if we’d have gone down now that would have destroyed what bielsa achieved and built happily we survived…. 😁
What? Doesn’t make sense, surprised you got a few likes
they still played bielsas football right to the end keeping them up,never give up
@@joe2395 that’s not Bielsa football
Don’t talk shi
With Bielsa Leeds would be relegated.
I agree.
Quiet Eddie. We know who you work for.
Eddie Gray is a Leeds legend and can say whatever he wants, regardless if we agree or not, Bielsa will always be a legend in my eyes because he came in and gave the club life again, Bielsa awoke the sleeping giant and we wouldn't be where we are without him.
Well said.
Thats It! Bang on mate!
If leeds did not have half team injujured they would have got top 8
No doubt at all Bielsa made magic that was needed to give a city hope, a magician!
Great to see Eddie on hear and a true legend and gentleman.
MB got Leeds to the prem . He would not sign players who wasn’t better than the ones we already had .Eddie Gray can’t say anything bad because he’s part of Radz back room team . And to say teams found out how we played is absolutely rubbish. How long as pep and Klop been at Man City & Liverpool respectively they haven’t change . The truth is Leeds had injuries probably nine players at all the same time , no manager could cope with that. Radz panicked and pulled the trigger . And just I mean just got away with it . MB was the best manager the premier as ever seen , no one will better his way . Leeds was lucky to have him , because we would be a mid table championship team still today . But he’s gone now and I wish JM all the best , can’t blame him for taking the job who wouldn’t. Time will tell . Good luck JM I hope you prove me wrong. 🤍💛💙
"MB was the best manager the premier as ever seen". Hyperbolic! Don't make me laugh.🤣🤣
Bielsa is an absolute ICON. And forever will be. He did so much more than just get us promoted like 3 managers do every year according to some pundits who don’t have a clue. There’s a reason there’s a 40k stadium in Argentina named after him. His sacking had done nothing to tarnish his legacy in leeds.
Sacking saved his legacy. We were down with Bielsa in charge, and he would've left us where he found us.
@@v35tan27 who says we were down? were never in the bottom 3 under bielsa, he was sacked after playing something like 5 top 6 sides in 7 matches too. and with phillips soon returning from injury. i think we would have survived
@@ronoccc He'd lost the dressing room and was no longer communicating with the board. We were in freefall, the games we got points in we were lucky and any team that wanted to beat us just had to have their front line drop deep and let their midfield pile into our box unchallenged. We were tactically a shambles and the players no longer believed in his methods. Anyone with eyes could see how horrible we were for this entire season.
@@ronoccc all fair opinions but nobody know for a fact if he’s keep us up or down so let’s just remember him as the legends he is and forever will be to Leeds king marcelo will never be forgotten brought the good times back to Leeds
@@v35tan27 he’d lost the dressing room and wasn’t communicating with the board, you sound like you work at quite a high level at the club? Either that or you are just repeating things you hear in the media.
Bielsa is the man. Forever leeds
His time was up, as a leeds fan I think we would have gone down if we still had bielsa. We needed the change and I think we give Jesse a chance. I live Bielsa and appreciate everything he did for us, he is truly a club legend and icon. One of the best managers we've ever had, but we need to move on and march on TOGETHER! ALAW!!
@@bigkuriboh3814 I agree.
@@bigkuriboh3814 Can't see a situation where Bielsa is unable to beat Watford, Norwich, 10 man Wolves and 9 man Brentford. You really think he couldn't have managed results against those teams?
F Bielsa
@@It.was.me.I.let.the.dogs.out. I disagree
Brentford weren’t at the races yesterday because they had nothing to play for? Do your research, Brentford wanted to send us down yesterday after the “rivalry” that’s been created. Look at Canos’ reaction to equalising (in a game which supposedly meant nothing)… Ivan Toney reposted the “mind the gap” video, Frank also wanted to send us down. Don’t talk about luck because we’ve certainly not had it this season
They were absolutely desperate to beat us they just aren’t as good as everybody like to make out
Eddie Gray …… best ever player to wear a Leeds shirt. Never forget his goal against Burnley.
It must be said/reminded that obviously English was a barrier for him 'cause Bielsa is an incredible communicator..public and personal...lookup some of this interviews in Spanish back in the Chile National team days...or even the Athletic Bilbao days..
He didn't want to speak English.
Had the pleasure of being in the company of my football hero Eddie on a works Xmas do when I was doing my coaching badges at ER, me and the rest of the trainee coaches were just setting off on the mini bus to Boroughbridge when Eddie stopped the bus and asked if he could come along with us.
He came on the bus with a 24 pack of McEwans lager.
Boroughbridge is LUFC mad. MOT
Had the privilege of meeting Eddie yesterday, a gent, Leeds to the core
Excellent interview with one of Leeds United’s greatest ever players.
