I can’t let today go by without sending my longtime friend Simon “Rossie” Ross, my very best wishes. The prominent British radio presenter currently hosting the breakfast show on Greatest Hits Radio. Rossie is now also the stadium announcer for Everton F.C, but that is where our friendship comes in because (and I’m sure you will remember) Rossie was (our) the Leeds stadium announcer many moons ago. He a cracking lad that still shows great interest in our results. Thank you for your kind words on my site, stixlufc.com Happy birthday pal have a great day.

A very happy birthday to fellow Leeds United Club Ambassador Eddie Gray. Eddie was an integral part of the successful Leeds United team under manager Don Revie during the 1960s and 1970s. He was renowned for his skillful dribbling and pace, with his goal against Burnley in 1970 often cited as one of the greatest ever seen at Elland Road. He made 577 appearances and scored 63 goals for Leeds United in total across all competitions. He has been the club’s manger and also the caretaker manager on numerous occasions and continues to be highly involved with our club.

Always great to see our overseas friends. Trevor and his son Emmett travel over from the Emerald Isle regularly. I don’t think we give enough credit to our overseas fan bases. It must cost travelling supporters thousands to follow their heart’s desire. Not to mention when fixtures are moved at the last minute etc. Thank you to ALL our overseas travelling fans for your continued support of our great club , MOT.
