Farewell indeed to a man who was cruelly used by journalists when he should have been feted as Mr; Klopp or Mr; Guardiola (sp?) are today.
We went down as Watford went up in '82 so when we were drawn against them, at home, in the league cup a couple of years later I turned up at Elland Rd expecting a long ball barrage scrap of a match. They played us off the park with sublime movement and extraordinary technical skills. One of their goals, I think the third, started in their penalty area in front of the kop, passed by 2 or 3 of their players and was in our net in what seemed like less than 10 seconds.There was no obvious Leeds team at all on the pitch whilst they did this. That match made a huge impression on me; At a time when Glenda Hoddle was the British press'es "world's greatest footballer", here was a team that with just as much skill who could cut you to the bone without any fannying about and didn't need some Argy thug (though he was a good footballer) to keep the other team away. What would the world look like for Leeds fans if Taylor had got a Man U gig with Fergie out on his ear? And finally, like many acts who make a lot of money - Wilko was a pale imitation of an original.
