Tear in the eye reaching the end talking about Billy at peace. I had the somewhat dubious honour of officiating (on the line) at Huddersfield Town U18 vs Leeds United U18 this morning and I have to say that the spirit of Billy Bremner runs right through the team even at that level. They dominated a first half in which Town were restricted to long passes and even longer range shots. Then as the second half started a lunge that missed meant the ball ran through for the Town winger, who having bust a gut to run 50 yards after a lost cause put in a left footed cross that was turned into his own net by a young LUFC defender. Town hit them hard over the next 10 minutes until a free kick was awarded to LUFC just 20 yards out. The ball was smashed, through the wall, through the keeper and into the net.
Then the defining moment of the game, a young #4 for LUFC went in two footed on a tackle and earned himself a red card. Almost immediately afterwards LUFC won a penalty as a Town defender climbed all over Tom Elliott who I believe made an appearance for the 1st team last season. Penalty scored, LUFC shut up shop, time runs down and the game is won. It was a performance not unlike that on Tuesday by the 1st team at Darlo. It was hard won, full of honest graft and a well deserved win. Many of these lads will make it in professional football, I just hope that it is LUFC who benefit from their progress! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry Emmott Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2007 11:21 AM To: Luisa; [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] Rock bottom has been and gone > an excellent read here > > http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/s277/st121925.htm > Fantastic article, brought a lump to the throat. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
