OMG (sic) - the first game I went to after relegation in '82 was Fulham away. I lived in Poplar and worked in Bow. It felt very strange and alien going up West - I'd never been on the District line went beyond Mile End before.
Anyway, Dennis Irwin scored one of ours, I think John Lukic was in goal and we lost 3-2.

Anyway, I must have liked Craven Cottage because I went back towards the end of the season for a midweek game against Barnsley. Barnsley, on their way down, needed to win to maintain Leeds' mathematical chance of going up. I wasn't alone, most of the "Barnsley" supporters were sad Leeds like me. Needless to say, Barnsley lost 4 nil Damian On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 10:17 PM, Brendan Osborne <bosborn...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Having been battered by Fulham for most of first half (Silvestri playing > like he did against Middlesboro) we finally opened the scoring on 40 > minutes with a downward header from Byram. > > Sol Bamba scored his first goal for Leeds early in the 2nd half and Fulham > shortly after are reduced to 10 men when Stafylidis was sent off. > > Apparently we haven't beaten Fulham at Craven Cottage for 30 years! > > > MOT gents! > > > Ossie > > _______________________________________________ > Leedslist mailing list > Info and options: > http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist > To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org > > John 'Grampa' Sykes > Rest In Peace old lad > 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 > MARCHING ON TOGETHER > _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER
