The rapid demise of Leeds is remarkable. Only 7 years ago they were a major force and in the Champions League semi-final. Their downfall arose from spending ridiculous money on poor players. A very fat Thomas Brolin is one that still brings a smile.

But with the size of the city and fan base, I'm sure that one day they will be back in the top half of the Premiership.

Yep, a certain Mr McAllister is probably wishing he could climb into that grave today.

I posted this on another thread on the ICT page in reply to andymorecambe. I watched the game live on the ITV London channel and it was a good old fashioned cup tie played in abysmal weather. Brought back lots of happy cup days and giant killing acts for many a highland league side...........

1-0 to Histon at half time. I hope someone tells the camera man to wipe the rain off his lens for the second half.

Enjoying it andy?

Interestingly, Histon are playing in red & black stripes on the front of the strips, very Inverness Thistle like.

Come on the Jaggies.

Histon hold on to win 1-0.......................This is what the cup is all about. Village football knocking out the city slickers. Small ground, shoebox stand, people sitting on top of porta-cabins, hundreds watching from the main road behind the crash barriers, supporters buses lining the road outside, hissing rain, sliding tackles, old mannies and wifies watching the local lads battle it out with a team full of history. One tremedous goaline clearance from a sizzling volley to keep Leeds at bay in the last seconds of the game, and to add a bit more drama, Leeds having two corners in time added on after time added on............great stuff.

well done Histon Jaggies.

Leeds United were undoubetdly one of the major English sides of the 1970s but their current status is indeed a sad one. I am sure they will come back into the Premiership in the next few years just as the English side I follow - Burnely - just might under Owen Coyle.

Oh that Billy Bremner and there was me thinking it was about the old Jags centre half!
