Interview with a Leeds fan: Keith Ingham

By Andy Gregory

Welcome to the latest edition of interview with a Leeds fan. This week we are talking to Keith Ingham who has answered our questions and given his views on all things to do with the club

How long have you supported Leeds?
I've supported Leeds for around thirty eight years

What is your favourite memory?

I've lots of great memories but travelling to Paris as a fifteen year old for the European Cup Final, my first trip abroad. Gordon Strachan's goal that made it 2-1 v Leicester City 89/90 promotion season- the crowd went crazy and Bristol Rovers when Beckford got the winner - Incredible scenes.

Favourite player past and present
Billy Bremner - Side before self - Legend
I think Lees and Pearce are developing a great partnership but since the exodus to Norwich I try to not have favourites as they leave!

If you could bring one player from any era back to the club, who would it be and why?  Billy Bremner, in my opinion the best player ever to wear a Leeds shirt.

Best goal scored by a Leeds player?
Tony Yeboah's v Liverpool, if the net hadn't stopped the shot it might have made it to Wakefield

What are your thoughts on the joint statement from the club and GFH denying any contact with LUST?
I'm a member of LUST so I'm a bit confused when the supposed buyers say they want cooperation with fans' then say they haven't spoken to a organisation that has over 8,000 members, nearly as much as the club has season ticket holders. Obviously somebody is not being truthful

Do you think the takeover will go through?
I hope for all our sakes it goes through as ken bates will not invest anymore major money into the club and probably sell off players like Tom Lees and Sam Byram.

We’re still in the market to bring someone in on loan, who would you like to see come in?
I wanted Beckford to be honest but I can only see squad players come in and we'll wait until the January transfer window, just hope it's not too late.

If the takeover is completed, which two players would you like to see join us in January?

I'd like a 'wow' signing, Max coming back would be great and I wouldn't mind Craig Mackial-Smith as he's been scoring a few goals and we need a backup striker

---

Where do you think we will finish this season?
We will finish in the top ten without investment and top four if the takeover happens.


What would you say are the main differences between Warnock’s team and Simon Grayson’s team of last season?

The difference is the team has more unity, something clearly lacking in Simon Grayson's team last season. Also their is a 'never say die' attitude which they've shown a few times already this season.


Which game are you most looking forward to this season?
Huddersfield Home and Away and a decent Premiership draw in the FA Cup, hopefully Norwich at home.

Score prediction for the Sheffield Wed and Charlton games?
I think we'll beat Wednesday 2-1 and hopefully Andy Hughes will be in the Charlton squad when they come to Elland Road. Leeds to win 3-1

Anything else you would like to add?
I think the fans have been fantastic this season and really got behind the team. I wish the rumours and counter claims would stop and the takeover must happen if the club is to progress.
Lastly Neil Warnock quite simply is the best man- manager we've had since Howard Wilkinson came in. Just look what he's done with El Hadji Diouf.
