11) Ian Holloway


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

13.  A certain Mr Hitler.

  We were in the Premiership equivalent in the 1930s.  We struggled after the war as our players were all 6 years older.  As usual, we struggled disproportionately compared to other top flight clubs.

I was reminded of this kit just the other day and liked it!

I hated the one from a few seasons later with a collar and white shoulders. Not sure if it was the design or the fact we were relegated with it that makes me hate it more, just reminds me of Barry Conlon.

The other partner in our fall was:

15. The late Jimmy Hill, who led the players’ strike against the maximum wage, thus giving big city clubs a bigger advantage.

(Tongue in cheek this one. Jimmy was far too good to be joining that lot).


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Footballing Fortune.

In my opinion the single biggest obstacle to our progress in the last 20 years.  An obsession that success would be fortunate and that our progression would only come on the back of a cup run or the shock emergence of a teenage megastar we would sell for billions.

It blindsided any hope of actual progression or vision on and off the pitch.  

Michael Jolley will ultimately go down as a footnote as the Fenty era, but appears to have been spot on in his assessment of the club and where it was going wrong.  Don't get me wrong, his football was turgid and he clearly upset far too many people.  But I wonder how much of his departure was down to results and performances as opposed to him bringing home some truths.
