Hi all, Seeing John's post about BDTR reminded me of the yarn of the greatest heist in Web History, when the web domain for Man Utd Football Club, www.mufc.co.uk, was the legally obtained possession of LeedsListers, until the domain police forced the handover to the yobs at Old Trafford.
Does anybody know the real history, and willing to depart a brief paragraph or three about the story, which I believe will also reveal the real history behind the "Better Dead Than Red" (BDTR) mousemats? Everlasting Thanks in anticipation to anyone willing to indulge me, and for those not in the know 😊 OzPete -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <[email protected]> On Behalf Of John Boocock Sent: Monday, 7 April 2025 10:51 PM To: Leeds List <[email protected]> Subject: [LU] Two things Whilst at Da Rev's funeral, Jabba mentioned that he had a few LUFC videos. I asked if I could have them to digitise and then archive. They duly arrived at Betty Towers in a massive cardboard box. There are rather a lot of them! They have been in Jabba's loft for 25 years but once I had hooked up my equally old VCR player, guess what? Yup it is an absolute treasure trove of the Mighty Leeds. Especially exciting was seeing a 19 year-old Noel Whelan exhibiting just how good Leeds has been with young talent. I will start the mammoth digitisation task over the next couple of months and share them to the list. Second thing, Da Rev's lovely missus, Tracey has sent me 4 BRTD mouse mats. Would anyone like one? Imagine not just a BRTD mat but also part of Da Rev's collection. On you go Betty ALAW _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ The Rev, John Lee.
