RE: Change your job, name, wife, or even country but always LEEDS UNITED
I remember the great games between leeds and us(galatasaray) when both teams are top notch. Despite the bad situations at that time.
Btw, your avatar always reminds me wayne rooney :)
Yes, it was very sad about the two guys getting killed. The Leeds fans are their own worst enemy though. They love to nurture their hard image and hence everyone wants to have a go, with tragic results.
I only ever went to one European away game and that was to Deportivo la Coruna in the quarters in 2001. The heat just added to the atmosphere and it was amazing. There was very little aggro there and I stopped for an extra night to party. Memories are thin on the ground lol ! After drawing Valencia in the semis we thought we were sorted to get to the finals but it wasnt to be.
Of course, we unofficially won in 74-75 against Bayern Munich..cheating bastard ref....and then the fans went on the riot getting us banned for 4 years...of course the club went down the toilet after that and we didnt qualify again anyway!
That game against you was the semis of the UEFA cup in about 99 I think...but out best result against Turkish opposition you'll be pleased to know was battering Beskitas 6-0 the season after in the Champions League...
Despite the domestic league being the bread and butter, I need those European nights back, still waiting for Bielsa to sign on the dotted line!!
PS Judas Kewell is still a dirty name atLeeds lol
