How long have you supported Leeds?
I have supported Leeds since early 1972, just before the Arsenal cup final win.

What is your favourite memory?
Favourite memory is very difficult as there are many but I'll plunge for Clarkey's goal in the '72 final win.

Favourite player past and present?
Favourite past player got to be Clark, present got to be Diouf.

If you could bring one player from any era back to the club, who would it be and why?
One player to bring back is the one and only Billy Bremner, he gave his heart and soul for the shirt...true Leeds legend.

Best goal scored by a Leeds player?
Yeboah v Liverpool

How would you sum up our season so far?
Season so far..rather patchy

Which player has impressed you most this season?
 Sam Byram

It seems like the takeover might finally be close to being completed, what difference do you think this would make to this season?
The takeover will be a massive boost, will finally give us real belief and a chance to get back to the Premiership.

Warnock has stated his desire to bring in more players on loan, where do you think we need to strengthen and who would you like to see come in?
We need a winger, another striker and a box to box midfielder. Wouldn't mind seeing Max Gradel and Beckford back.

How would you describe our current team?
The current team is unfinished business.

Where do you think we will finish this season?
We will finish top 2 with takeover money well spent or in Play Offs if not.

Which game are you most looking forward to this season?
Looking forward to the League Cup Final v Norwich

Following another good result in the cup against Southampton we have drawn Chelsea at  home. How do you think we’ll do?
We will beat Chelsea 2-1

Brighton 1 Leeds 2 , Burnley 0 Leeds 2
