Hey all
I’ve waited to post as it’s been a mix of emotions since Friday plus LIW generally posts enough for both of us. I keep bursting into tears (I’m blaming hormones!)
This has been a long 16 years I remember crying in my kitchen when we lost to Bolton as a 17 year old. The heartbreak still gets me now.
I joined BBC606 in 2008/9 I met some wonderful people and I credit LUFC with giving me some of the best memories and personal moments I could ever have wished for. I have two beautiful children and I suppose an ok partner , I have made some friends for life through LEEDS but we’ve also lost some friends along the way.
There’s been a lot of posts/tweets (including from myself) about this being for Norman, Trevor and Jack well it’s also for WestStand Fred, Boggers Steve and the wonderful Harj.
So on Wednesday let’s think of them and all the other loves ones who have passed in those 16 years. This is for you. All of you.
We made it. You aren’t physically here but you are in spirit and our hearts
For absent friends

Fair play to you Pags for looking at the bigger picture, you've always being a classy poster and to have a thought for those that have passed on shows this.
A special word for Harj, always a gent and I never had the heart to wind him up because I'd only look an idiot as he'd kill you with kindness.
Hope being back in the big time is everything that you have wished for this long 16 seasons and hope that our swords cross sooner rather that later.
🙏 Stay safe you and yours and all. 😷

"I joined BBC606 in 2008/9 "
Same here.
Lost one of my best childhood friends in April. He was a Liverpool fan. And it was so sad that he didn't get to be there when they finally won the title.
Never any bad blood between us, best friends. Always talking about the best things about each others clubs.
On a different note: I wonder where my country fellow man, Norway-Leeds has gone. Haven't seen any comments from him in a long while. Really do hope he's allright.
Feel lucky to have seen Leeds at last being promoted. Never thought it would happen in my lifetime.
Thank you Bielsa

Very nice sentiments. Remembering my younger brother Vic who could not hang on long enough to see that our long wait is now over. Buried with his Leeds United badge some 4 years ago. Thanks Pags
