Dear All,

Earlier this week we heard of the sad death of one of the earliest members and 
most loved characters from the list, David “DRB” Brennan.
Not only was DRB a list regular in the 90s as a trawl through the archives held 
by James Lundon proved but he also wrote a lot of good stuff.

As a season ticket-holder he used to go to reserve matches at The Shay and (as 
well as Maggie Barber) post regular reports of the reserves’
progress. He was a regular source of ticket information and became very 
friendly with Mandy in the ticket office especially when trying to find out 
what times cup matches would be played and what the ticket allocations would be.

DRB and his wife Kate were part of a gang that regularly met pre-match (he was 
an Adolphi regular), he was at the MOALM and he was the man behind the 
sponsored head shave at the first Euronet in 1996.

Like others on the list he was a Northern Soul boy, coming from Horsforth what 
else would he be?

One of the friendliest, funniest and kindest blokes I have had the pleasure to 
meet he will always be the example I would use of what the list is about.

DRB leaves behind, Kate and the two boys Sid and Bradley and we have been in 
touch to send our sympathy. No date has been set for what will be a very small 
family funeral but his brother-in-law suggests there might be a memorial 
service in the future. The family has asked, if anyone wishes to, that 
donations are made to MIND which is a charity DRB supported. 
(https://www.mind.org.uk/donate/)

We checked with the family before we posted anything to the list and they were 
happy for us to do this. As we get more information, we will pass this on but 
in the meantime please enjoy the following post to the list from 1996, it’s 
typical of the DRB we knew and loved (that and the bloody song he wrote about 
Tomas Brolin!)

RIP DRB.

Interviewer: Mr Wilkinson, as your team selection for some games over the past 
few months has  been, shall we say, "innovative" what will be your policy for 
the Port Vale game?

HW: Well, all things considered, and bearing in mind that our players have had 
a hectic autograph signing session recently, and it will be a bit chilly, I 
think 11 players will suffice.

Interviewer: Mr Wilkinson, does this mean that even though your African players 
are back from international duty, you will not use them?

HW: All things being equal, Tony, Phil and Lucas are definitely players, and 
players want to play, want to play, but there can only be so many players, who 
play, so they may play a part in playing but it's not so warm for players who 
normally play, normally play, in a warmer climate.

Interviewer: It was suggested that in the Aston Villa game, you may have been 
better playing an attacking side, as the defence, containing so many 
youngsters, was unlikely to keep Villa out, offence being the best sort of 
defence.

HW: Youngsters, youngsters.  I was young once, and wanted to play, wanted to 
play.  You've got to give them a goal, I mean go, they may be short of pace, 
but Rob Bowman has got the same name as the Producer of the X Files, so who 
knows what might happen, might happen.  I picked the best side for the game, 
for the game.  When I start telling you where to use a metaphor instead of a 
simile, and when to employ onomatopoeic licence, then you can tell me how to 
pick and quarter of pick and mix, I mean a football team.

Interviewer:  There has been much discussion about Tomas Brolin's future at 
Elland Road.  Can you enlighten us as to the current situation?

HW: Tomas has got a white shirt, some people might say, might say, it still has 
Parmalat on it, but I say Thistle Hotels.  I know the shirts are the same 
colour, and that was a major consideration in buying Tommy.  I like continuity, 
like buying players from Sheffiel

Re: [LU] David DRB Brennan

[steve sims via Leedslist]

Very sad news indeed.

I remember Dave from the Adelphi pre match meets back in the nineties and from 
some London pre match meets in the Barbican pub that Gav's Man city mate used 
to run.

I think the last time I met him was at the Charlton riverside pub (anchor and 
hope?) a good few years later, I don't remember the year ( though it might have 
been promotion year) but I remember I  enjoyed a couple of pints reminiscing 
about the old days.

Thoughts are with his family and also with those of you who knew him a lot 
better than I did.

HW: Well, all things considered, and bearing in mind that our players have had 
a hectic autograph signing session recently, and it will be a bit chilly, I 
think 11 players will suffice.

Interviewer: Mr Wilkinson, does this mean that even though your African players 
are back from international duty, you will not use them?

HW: All things being equal, Tony, Phil and Lucas are definitely players, and 
players want to play, want to play, but there can only be so many players, who 
play, so they may play a part in playing but it's not so warm for players who 
normally play, normally play, in a warmer climate.

Interviewer: It was suggested that in the Aston Villa game, you may have been 
better playing an attacking side, as the defence, containing so many 
youngsters, was unlikely to keep Villa out, offence being the best sort of 
defence.

HW: Youngsters, youngsters.  I was young once, and wanted to play, wanted to 
play.  You've got to give them a goal, I mean go, they may be short of pace, 
but Rob Bowman has got the same name as the Producer of the X Files, so who 
knows what might happen, might happen.  I picked the best side for the game, 
for the game.  When I start telling you where to use a metaphor instead of a 
simile, and when to employ onomatopoeic licence, then you can tell me how to 
pick and quarter of pick and mix, I mean a football team.

Interviewer:  There has been much discussion about Tomas Brolin's future at 
Elland Road.  Can you enlighten us as to the current situation?

HW: Tomas has got a white shirt, some people might say, might say, it still has 
Parmalat on it, but I say Thistle Hotels.  I know the shirts are the same 
colour, and that was a major consideration in buying Tommy.  I like continuity, 
like buying players from Sheffield, so buying a player who was used to wearing 
the same colour shirt fitted in well with our long-term plans. Brolly is happy 
wearing white and yellow trimmed with blue and if Brollywolly is happy, I'm 
happy, I'm happy.

Interviewer:  But Mr Wilkinson, Tomas Brolin is a world class player, do you 
think there will be a place for him in tomorrow's cup game against Port Vale?

HW: This could well be a bit of a clash, what with the colour of their shirts 
against the blue seats of Elland Road, I might find it difficult to follow 
their play, especially

[Gav Burnage via Leedslist]

I can't find the words to say what this horrible news is doing to me right
now, but maybe the tears say enough about this man whose generous
friendship came my way simply because of Leeds United and this
extraordinary email list.

He was funny and irreverent, much more clever than he liked to admit, and
kind and big hearted with it. Saying he was sociable is a bit of an
understatement; he got on with just about everyone at just about any time.

Saying "husband and father" doesn't come close either: he absolutely adored
Kate, and being married to her, and he absolutely loved Bradley and Sidney,
and being a full-on dad to them too (he usually preferred being called
David, but the email sign off proudly changed to Dadiv and Double
Dadiv after the boys arrived.) I am praying so hard for the three of you.

Dull match days (and good match days) on Row O in the top left of the kop
were all the better for having David around, singing shouting swearing and
chatting. He thoughtfully bought me a hip flask so we could all take turns
in matchday refuelling duties, and the best matchdays also involved the
Pudsey Special bus, a takeaway form the Bismillah, and some family time in
front of the telly (and the cats).

You didn't care much for religion, David; but then (and how I wish you'd
understood) I don't either.

May you rest in peace – and rise in glory

Love,
Gav

[alan.edgar--- via Leedslist]

Desperately sad news - Dave sat with Wiggy, Matt and I at the Oval Ashes Test 
in September and we spent an enjoyably alcohol-fuelled day watching England 
ease towards victory. I also remember his first visit to Lords a couple of 
years ago - as a Southern-based White (and Middlesex fan) I'm lucky enough to 
get to St Johns Wood regularly but it was great to see his enthusiasm as he 
walked around the ground, taking in the atmosphere.A massive loss to all who 
knew him.

Dear All,

Earlier this week we heard of the sad death of one of the earliest 
members and most loved characters from the list, David “DRB” Brennan. 
Not only was DRB a list regular in the 90s as a trawl through the 
archives held by James Lundon proved but he also wrote a lot of good stuff.

As a season ticket-holder he used to go to reserve matches at The Shay 
and (as well as Maggie Barber) post regular reports of the reserves’ 
progress. He was a regular source of ticket information and became very 
friendly with Mandy in the ticket office especially when trying to find 
out what times cup matches would be played and what the ticket 
allocations would be.

DRB and his wife Kate were part of a gang that regularly met pre-match 
(he was an Adolphi regular), he was at the MOALM and he was the man 
behind the sponsored head shave at the first Euronet in 1996.

Like others on the list he was a Northern Soul boy, coming from 
Horsforth what else would he be?

One of the friendliest, funniest and kindest blokes I have had the 
pleasure to meet he will always be the example I would use of what the 
list is about.

DRB leaves behind, Kate and the two boys Sid and Bradley and we have 
been in touch to send our sympathy. No date has been set for what will 
be a very small family funeral but his brother-in-law suggests there 
might be a memorial service in the future. The family has asked, if 
anyone wishes to, that donations are made to MIND which is a charity DRB 
supported. (https://www.mind.org.uk/donate/)

We checked with the family before we posted anything to the list and 
they were happy for us to do this. As we get more information, we will 
pass this on but in the meantime please enjoy the following post to the 
list from 1996, it’s typical of the DRB we knew and loved (that and the 
bloody song he wrote about Tomas Brolin!)

RIP DRB.

Dear All,

Earlier this week we heard of the sad death of one of the earliest members and 
most loved characters from the list, David “DRB” Brennan. 
Not only was DRB a list regular in the 90s as a trawl through the archives held 
by James Lundon proved but he also wrote a lot of good stuff.

As a season ticket-holder he used to go to reserve matches at The Shay and (as 
well as Maggie Barber) post regular reports of the reserves’ 
progress. He was a regular source of ticket information and became very 
friendly with Mandy in the ticket office especially when trying to find out 
what times cup matches would be played and what the ticket allocations would be.

DRB and his wife Kate were part of a gang that regularly met pre-match (he was 
an Adolphi regular), he was at the MOALM and he was the man behind the 
sponsored head shave at the first Euronet in 1996.

Like others on the list he was a Northern Soul boy, coming from Horsforth what 
else would he be?

One of the friendliest, funniest and kindest blokes I have had the pleasure to 
meet he will always be the example I would use of what the list is about.

DRB leaves behind, Kate and the two boys Sid and Bradley and we have been in 
touch to send our sympathy. No date has been set for what will be a very small 
family funeral but his brother-in-law suggests there might be a memorial 
service in the future. The family has asked, if anyone wishes to, that 
donations are made to MIND which is a charity DRB supported. 
(https://www.mind.org.uk/donate/)

We checked with the family before we posted anything to the list and they were 
happy for us to do this. As we get more information, we will pass this on but 
in the meantime please enjoy the following post to the list from 1996, it’s 
typical of the DRB we knew and loved (that and the bloody song he wrote about 
Tomas Brolin!)

RIP DRB.

Subj:    LU: Interview

Interviewer: Mr Wilkinson, as your team selection for some games over the past 
few months has  been, shall we say, "innovative" what will be your policy for 
the Port Vale game?

HW: Well, all things considered, and bearing in mind that our players have had 
a hectic autograph signing session recently, and it will be a bit chilly, I 
think 11 players will suffice.

Interviewer: Mr Wilkinson, does this mean that even though your African players 
are back from international duty, you will not use them?

HW: All things being equal, Tony, Phil and Lucas are definitely players, and 
players want to play, want to play, but there can only be so many players, who 
play, so they may play a part in playing but it's not so warm for players who 
normally play, normally play, in a warmer climate.

Interviewer: It was suggested that in the Aston Villa game, you may have been 
better playing an attacking side, as the defence, containing so many 
youngsters, was unlikely to keep Villa out, offence being the best sort of 
defence.

HW: Youngsters, youngsters.  I was young once, and wanted to play, wanted to 
play.  You've got to give them a goal, I mean go, they may be short of pace, 
but Rob Bowman has got the same name as the Producer of the X Files, so who 
knows what might happen, might happen.  I picked the best side for the game, 
for the game.  When I start telling you where to use a metaphor instead of a 
simile, and when to employ onomatopoeic licence, then you can tell me how to 
pick and quarter of pick and mix, I mean a football team.

Interviewer:  There has been much discussion about Tomas Brolin's future at 
Elland Road.  Can you enlighten us as to the current situation?

HW: Tomas has got a white shirt, some people might say, might say, it still has 
Parmalat on it, but I say Thistle Hotels.  I know the shirts are the same 
colour, and that was a major consideration in buying Tommy.  I like continuity, 
like buying players from Sheffield, so buying a player who was used to wearing 
the same colour shirt fitted in well with our long-term plans. Brolly is happy 
wearing white and yellow trimmed with blue and if Brollywolly is happy, I'm 
happy, I'm happy.

Interviewer:  But Mr Wilkinson, Tomas Brolin is a world class player, do you 
think there will be a place for him in tomorrow's cup game against Port Vale?

HW: This could well be a bit of a clash, what with the colour of their shirts 
against the blue seats of Elland Road, I might find it difficult to follow 
their play, especially if I forget to take my yellow tinted motorway night 
driving glasses off, glasses off. Port Vale are a big side, strong.  We need  a 
team who can cope with this. They will

Parmalat on it, but I say Thistle Hotels.  I know the shirts are the same 
colour, and that was a major consideration in buying Tommy.  I like continuity, 
like buying players from Sheffield, so buying a player who was used to wearing 
the same colour shirt fitted in well with our long-term plans. Brolly is happy 
wearing white and yellow trimmed with blue and if Brollywolly is happy, I'm 
happy, I'm happy.

 Dear All,

Earlier this week we heard of the sad death of one of the earliest 
members and most loved characters from the list, David “DRB” Brennan. 
Not only was DRB a list regular in the 90s as a trawl through the 
archives held by James Lundon proved but he also wrote a lot of good stuff.

As a season ticket-holder he used to go to reserve matches at The Shay 
and (as well as Maggie Barber) post regular reports of the reserves’ 
progress. He was a regular source of ticket information and became very 
friendly with Mandy in the ticket office especially when trying to find 
out what times cup matches would be played and what the ticket 
allocations would be.

DRB and his wife Kate were part of a gang that regularly met pre-match 
(he was an Adolphi regular), he was at the MOALM and he was the man 
behind the sponsored head shave at the first Euronet in 1996.

Like others on the list he was a Northern Soul boy, coming from 
Horsforth what else would he be?

One of the friendliest, funniest and kindest blokes I have had the 
pleasure to meet he will always be the example I would use of what the 
list is about.

DRB leaves behind, Kate and the two boys Sid and Bradley and we have 
been in touch to send our sympathy. No date has been set for what will 
be a very small family funeral but his brother-in-law suggests there 
might be a memorial service in the future. The family has asked, if 
anyone wishes to, that donations are made to MIND which is a charity DRB 
supported. (https://www.mind.org.uk/donate/)

We checked with the family before we posted anything to the list and 
they were happy for us to do this. As we get more information, we will 
pass this on but in the meantime please enjoy the following post to the 
list from 1996, it’s typical of the DRB we knew and loved (that and the 
bloody song he wrote about Tomas Brolin!)

RIP DRB.

Interviewer: Mr Wilkinson, as your team selection for some games over 
the past few months has  been, shall we say, "innovative" what will be 
your policy for the Port Vale game?

HW: Well, all things considered, and bearing in mind that our players 
have had a hectic autograph signing session recently, and it will be a 
bit chilly, I think 11 players will suffice.

Interviewer: Mr Wilkinson, does this mean that even though your African 
players are back from international duty, you will not use them?

HW: All things being equal, Tony, Phil and Lucas are definitely players, 
and players want to play, want to play, but there can only be so many 
players, who play, so they may play a part in playing but it's not so 
warm for players who normally play, normally play, in a warmer climate.

Interviewer: It was suggested that in the Aston Villa game, you may have 
been better playing an attacking side, as the defence, containing so 
many youngsters, was unlikely to keep Villa out, offence being the best 
sort of defence.

HW: Youngsters, youngsters.  I was young once, and wanted to play, 
wanted to play.  You've got to give them a goal, I mean go, they may be 
short of pace, but Rob Bowman has got the same name as the Producer of 
the X Files, so who knows what might happen, might happen.  I picked the 
best side for the game, for the game.  When I start telling you where to 
use a metaphor instead of a simile, and when to employ onomatopoeic 
licence, then you can tell me how to pick and quarter of pick and mix, I

Earlier this week we heard of the sad death of one of the earliest 
members and most loved characters from the list, David “DRB” Brennan. 
Not only was DRB a list regular in the 90s as a trawl through the

progress. He was a regular source of ticket information and became very 
friendly with Mandy in the ticket office especially when trying to find 
out what times cup matches would be played and what the ticket

As you know, Philips being the first name on the team sheet really pisses me 
off. Yes, he's improved and he has qualities for certain matches and certain 
periods within matches that at this level are required. However, I still think 
that he's a mid table, championship footballer and building a team around him 
strolling around the park and taking every set piece is just short sighted. His 
performance against Cardiff summed this up perfectly. His set pieces were poor 
and he struggled to make an impact on the game. His only real contribution was 
giving the ball away with a lazy pass for their goal.

and he struggled to make an impact on the game. His only real contribution was 
giving the ball away with a lazy pass for their goal.

were lightweight.

Bloody football!
