(snip long superb post about love of Leeds) It's also about memories, good and bad, that are part of our lives and, in a lot of cases, part of our families lives. We are now into our fourth generation of supporting Leeds since my Dad's uncles started him off in the early 1920s, and it will become five generations when the boy Sean's little lad is old enough in two or three years time. When my Dad died I coped with it without shedding a tear, stiff upper lip and all that shite, until I was clearing his house out and found the programme of the last game we attended together, the Fairs Cup Final second leg against Juventus. I can still remember the little lad I stood next to in the West Stand paddock who made up songs about Leeds by changing the words of current pop songs ( ahead of his time he was). Anybody who has never loved a football club cannot understand the obsession and the feelings we have and I feel sorry for anyone who just "likes football" and can't feel the agony and the ecstacy that you feel, often in the same game! My life would have been much the poorer without the entity that is Leeds United and I look forward to helping inculcate the same love in John Charles Emmott when the time comes.
