When I was stationed in northern England in the early 70s, I. Was a BIG Leeds United fan, but since they’ve dropped off the EPL grid, I have become a major Liverpool fan. I’d always liked them and even went to Anfield and stood on the Kop. YNWA!
I was down in central at RAF Welford, Berks in early 70’s
was also a big Leeds fan IN EARLY 70’S,,,Johnny Giles, Jack Charlton and Billy Bremner
That’s really cool to hear Ax. I have a major soft spot for Yorkshire in general, and Leeds in particular... Holidayed on the Yorkshire coast a few years back. I hope you have had fish and chips in Whitby :)
And, Leeds. It’s more for my dad’s generation I guess, but he has told me all about those great teams, and I really wish for they day when they return to the premier league. As far as I know the crowds at Elland Road are still great despite their position in the league system, AND they hate Mancs more than us even it seems :P
So go Leeds :)
I am glad to hear that fond feelings are still there after being stationed in the UK.
I did my undergraduate in Brisbane, Australia and it was always fun when some U.S. Navy ship visited. At least the U.S. Navy did their bit for international anglo diplomacy XD
And, I haven’t been to the kop yet. Did you go back to when it was still standing? I have only been to Anfield once and was sat (Northern English grammar) at the main stand.
