I played a 4 or 5 games for Yorkshire Amateurs maybe around 72 and if memory serves me right I`m sure we won a Cup of some description that year. Memory not as good as it used to be!Don`t suppose you ever played with an Ian Green who was at St Kevs at the time?
Btw, which school did you go to Chapy ? I’m assuming you’re from Chapeltown or Chapel Allerton ?
Started at Chapeltown Primary which now goes as Chapel Allerton Primary (sounds posher!)
And we moved higher up Scott Hall Road so ended up at Allerton Grange left at 15 and went to Park Lane for a year and started work.
Sorry the rest of you as I`m sure you are not remotely interested in this.
Back in those days, the higher you moved up Scott Hall Road the better you had done for yourself. LS7 to LS17 used to be a big social climb back then. Who would have thought the yuppies would be rushing to buy a terraced house in The Methley’s many years later ? Gentrification eh !As for the football, it’s a good point you make about Firpo. The drop in quality of his game becomes apparent when he’s having to defend. That’s maybe why Leeds aren’t breaking their necks to strike a deal. It can be a worry how easily players go past him in The Championship, and the Premier League is different gravy if we go up. It’s beginning to look like the risk the owners took on not recruiting in January and letting some deals run down may be advantageous come the end of May if we’re planning for a top flight campaign.
