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.
