Looked bad and was having vision problems but, touch wood, things have now been

Hopefully things are improving and on the up and like Leeds be ready next

[LU] Match reports

[Paul Reeve]

A big thanks to you Dave Natton on some great match and not forgetting others 
who contribute to match reports throughout the season, some I'm pleased to say 
cheered me up no end after what seems a lifetime of negativity us Leeds fans 
have had to put up with on and off the field, as I don't get up to the games 
much anymore living in gods holiday home of Gloucestershire I do look forward 
to a fans point of view. Anyway happy holidays everyone and hears looking to an 
even better season in 17/18

Nice to see you pop your head up Guy - hope you're on the mend. The sight of 
you careering through Amsterdam on your bike with crutches stowed on board 
filled me with dread :-( 
We had hoped to be over in April but decided on London instead. Am sure it 
won't be long before we're back though.
Cheers
John
