excellent place one of the top watering holes in the city of leeds back in the days when the adelphi was going downhill with my beermeister hat on it was my recommendation for the new venue for lsit meets. sadly this coincided with the gradual demise of the list, especially in the form of list meets, which with the whinging of some lagerboys, and a few others, that it was to far for getting to ER it was never taken up.

I met Raffe in Stockholm a couple of times over the last several of them, and quite a few others, where over in a'dam earlier this year for a 6-a-side tournament organized by Waddle (currently resident here in a'dam) so there was lards team and locally we got a benelux lards team togtether (waddle had the choice of three teams with his own work clifford chance). a weekend of good crack, excellent beers (though turned out waddle doesn't drink beer -he's allergic to it) and some footie (benelux lards beat the lards in the 5th/6th place game) Mark Tuffey mailed: > Whenever I travel I wear some sort of Leeds top/jersey and my kids find no > end of amazement that EVERY single time someone will point to or mention > my top/jersey regardless of continent or country. To which I always add > "see I told you so, Leeds are a big club and we are many and proud!". indeed, the fame of leeds reaches world wide even into the furthest places. i got an e-mail from kaye last week, currently in cambodia where she'd just been travelling upriver from Sien Riep to Battenbang, a slow place compared to Sien Riep but still there where a lot of handpainted posters and walls, Beckham and Ronaldo and like, and photos of English club sides. mainly she said Liverpool and Manchester but she spotted one of Leeds United ! as for current events i am gutted by the drop. kept thinking we'd avoid it. but the end of an era? no. the era ended a long time ago. the difference between football then, the first game i saw then, when john charles was playing on his return from turin, and the football of know is immeasurable. the change has been gradual, and for a long time wasn't much and what thee was was barely noticeable, but especially since the advent of the premiership, bskyb and ilk the gentrification of the beautiful game, it becoming becoming more a business than a sport it happened in an ever faster tempo. and now? it's football jim but not as we knew it. guy _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
