I first
started supporting Leeds in the early 1970's when I was 7 years old. I can
still recall crying when Leeds were beaten, by Sunderland, in the 1973 FA Cup
Final. Other lows included several seasons in the old Second Division. Highs
have included winning the FA Cup in 1972, winning the last First Division
Championship in 1992 (before it was renamed the Premier League) and seeing them
playing against Liverpool at Wembley in the Charity Shield. I've seen them play
Arsenal, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Wimbledon, Spurs, Chelsea and QPR when I
lived in London.

The 2000/01 season was not a bad one - 4th in the Premier
League and getting to the Semi Final in the European Champions
League.
The 2001/02 season promised so much, but proved to be a big
disappointment.
