Paul Madeley

[denishurley]

denis, that is an absolute stunner of a blog post. I am about to search out all the hats in the house so that I can stack them on my head and take them all off to you one by one. I am also going to look for footage of the League Cup final in 68 as I am fascinated by the concept of Paul Madeley as a centre forward.

"In January 1964, the man who Revie would describe as his Rolls Royce made his debut against Manchester City, wearing number 5..."

Leeds won that match at Elland Road 1-0. And my uncle was playing in it. He was City's no. 2, Bill Leivers. I should be speaking to him tomorrow. And I intend to mention this game to him.

Cheers Statto - I had had it planned for ages and all of the research done, I was procrastinating on writing it.

Regarding Albert Johanneson - I recall the song Leeds United Calypso, recorded by Ronnie Hilton with the squad, featured the line: "Albert Johanneson is one of the few / I don't know where he comes from but I think it's Timbuktu."
