I was talking to an old work colleague who used to live in Zambia. Apparently a Leeds team came to Lusaka and played a local team. My colleague was in goal for them and they lost 4-0 to a Leeds United representative team. I had a look on Google but couldn’t find anything. Anyone have any

Had to come out of lurk mode for this. I was at the game at Ellis Park. The football was s*1t - the only thing I can clearly remember was our bloke huffing and puffing up and down the wing. I think it was Worthington but I'm not going to lose sleep if I'm wrong. The best part of that evening

Not helpful at all, but for what' it's worth I bet I'm the only lister who was in the crowd when Leeds played Morocco in Casablanca in about 1981. It was in the era when our team was packed with shit players whose name began with H.Hird, Hamson, Hart etc. Dreadful game...ended 0-0.

I’m sure this game was not official, could even have been one of those behind close doors things. The team was the Lusaka Rhinos. But looking up anything on the Internet with the words Leeds and rhinos in it isn’t very helpful Sent from my iPhone > On 26 Nov 2019, at 13:57, Joe Skinner

Yep. I agree pretty much 100% Thought Alioski made all the difference - he thinks about going forward and (crucially) passing forwards first and foremost, which is something nobody else in the team seems to consider (apart from White). And that attitude is thankfully infectious. Nigel (the

All the possession but no idea. I thought we were poor tonight especially first half. Every final pass going astray and players just incapable of passing a ball to a team mate. Hernandez was particularly poor, he has a real knack of passing a simple ball to the opposition. He achieves it with

Phillips is bothered by people with pace and good close control (just as against Izzy Brown and that guy from QPR) but he keeps at it and is a nuisance to other teams. Alioski was a bit of a revelation, made sensible decisions every time. Nick On Tuesday, November 26, 2019, 06:44:47 PM

Funnily enough we're better off this year than last, though for some reason it feels like we should be worse off. Maybe the Bielsa buzz and weird feeling that we were actually good made us unable to see some shortcomings. Now, we know we are good and take a lot of our success for granted.
