So this is the thing, people sometimes think it’s ok to abuse players in public or figure they are overpaid but remember they are human beings and occasionally do good things that go under the radar you know. As a man it’s not always easy to bite your lip

Got to say this, when I hear players refusing to play for their teams because they don’t want to spoil a move, for me it’s the lowest thing a player can do. It desecrates all the hard work put in by those before who had to earn the shirt and paved the way for players in now.

When I first joined the club it’s no secret I struggled to settle in. My Mum used to listen to the games on the radio and she used to say ‘Brian you’ve got a friend in Norman Hunter. Thank you Norman you wonderful man. #RIPNormanHunter #MOT 💙🤍💛

After 30 years I was reunited with this shirt. The one I scored the first ever Premier League Goal in. It was way more emotional than I thought it would be and I still have huge feelings around the shirt. It’s a powerful thing. ⚽️❤️

Not sure all the stick Bamford is getting will help the whole team. Probably needs fans to stick with him more than ever now, especially as the pack is closing in. The guy probably isn’t getting a decent nights sleep at the moment, time to get behind him and protect your own.

End of an era at Leeds. Bielsa brought identity and pride back to the club and city .It is perhaps a measure of the plan and resources needed to compete straight away that have caught the club out cold but it’s been a hell of a ride for the fans.

A lot of the people/pundits who have criticised Leeds have never coached or managed, it’s easy to look at what’s on the screen in front of you and state the obvious, what’s harder is understanding what the needs and expectations are as well as identity.
