What a shame for Paul Green and for Leeds United Football Club. It's not often, these days, that any player associated with the club gets the opportunity to play at Wembley, so the hamstring injury that has ruled Green out of Ireland's game with England, and subsequent games against the Faroe Isles and Spain, is a huge blow.
Still, it will give Green a longer summer break and, from a selfish Leeds perspective, that may be good news in the longer run.
Playing for your country has not always been a huge deal for Leeds players anyway. Those with long enough memories will recall Paul Madeley telling Ramsay where to stick the World Cup when he was offered the opportunity to replace Reaney in the 1970 squad for Mexico. Madeley had already made plans for the summer you see, so going to the World Cup just seemed like a terrible chore.
You had to love the players in that Revie squad!
Why is it a shame for Leeds united, do they get paid huge sums of money when their players appear for their country, Is it any different to a Man United player being injured just days before all of their international games but recover for the weekend game with their scum of a club. It's just another example of total bilge that translates from your mouth to your fingertips.
ReplyDeleteWow, having a go at Paul Madeley now, a man who is suffering from Parkinson’s disease. You really are one sick, pathetic low life aren’t you?
ReplyDeleteSo what are your plans for the summer? Anything interesting to do or will you continue to sit in front of your laptop in your Y fronts typing out endless Leeds United blogs ?
ReplyDeleteFYI Leeds provided four players to the 1970 squad, more than any other club! It was actually Ramsey's own fault that he didn't get Reaney or Madeley by insisting that the season be shortened, which forced Leeds into something like a game every other day through March to April. Reaney was lost to a broken leg in this intense period, and Madeley provided engine to the team, so was always shouldering biggest physical burden, you clown!
ReplyDeleteGrowing old is inevitable, growing up is optional!
ReplyDeleteSee you''re no wiser than you were yesterday HF.
Well at least the Leeds Players who WERE called up by Alf Ramsey didn't take it as an opportunity to go on a shoplifting spree and bring shame on the nation. Unlike some. Karma caught up in the end though didn't it? 20 years ago to be precise. Oh and thanks for your continued interest/obsession with Leeds. Nice to know we're still a big club worthy of other supporters interest and envy. Funny how no Leeds fans blog about other clubs though?
ReplyDeleteNot necessary to attack Paul madeley, a man who was the utmost professional on the pitch for Leeds or England, and is now sadly suffering from Parkinsons disease. Why not show some respect you freak
ReplyDeleteAre there any west ham players in either squad?
ReplyDeleteJust the 43 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe Blogs gone desperate
ReplyDeletegreen would have warmed the bench anyway,better players ahead of him.
ReplyDeleteKaren Brady, David Gold, Andy Carrol, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteAwwww, have you got a hangover after the VERY funny rant last night ?? Or have you gone for a Brazilian princess !!! Lol
ReplyDeleteMadely respectfully declined on the basis that he would only be warming the benches and he preferred to Rest up after a long arduous season. Sir Alf understood fully and bore no grudge. Madeley got his full England call up the following year.
ReplyDeleteRings with truth to me as Leeds were chasing a lot of trophies in all competitions back then and Madeley was a mainstay of the team
So HF, get back under your rock, you snivelling little Brazilian female impersonator.
You really are getting very obsessive about our club.
ReplyDelete21.59 blog wheres it gone hf?
ReplyDelete"Playing for your country has not always been a huge deal for leeds players anyway"HF are you on something,the list of leeds players who were(are)more than happy to represent their countries is endless!And several of them played under Revie!!!Silly Hf!!
ReplyDeleteknob wipe but hey look a young Sam one season in the first team and an England call up do shut the .... up, and go trim your Brazilian you useless fat c... As for Paul Madeley one of the greatest all round players to grace the park much respect

ReplyDeleteGood article Neville!!
ReplyDeleteYou really do write some bollocks HF
ReplyDeletelisten hammer,some funny and true articles from you in the past, but only a few in comparisan to some of the crap you dribble on about most of time, this go at leeds is kids stuff and you must be very embarrassed or should be. the paul madeley dig has to be apologised for by you, thats stupidity and you know that or at least you do now.dont mind you winding us up,leeds love the banter anyway,but man up say sorry and move on to your next piece. MICK. [proper leeds]
ReplyDeleteMore of the usual mindless inane drivel.........very boring........
ReplyDeleteheard recently that the legendary paul madeley struggles to understand the time of day so lets hope that your pointless, cowardly attack on a truly great footballer (and gentleman) receives the stick it deserves. take a summer break pal your last few "pops" at leeds have been weak to say the least.
ReplyDeletePaul Madeley,The rolls royce of football.Played in every position for leeds bar goalkeeper.
ReplyDeleteslagggggggggggggggggggg
ReplyDeleteNOTHING TO SAY KNOB CHEESE
ReplyDeleteTELL US HOW OLD ARE YOU ..... WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW, DID YOU ACTUALLY SEE THE REVIE TEAM PLAY EH COME DONT BE SHY
ReplyDeletei do not blame you for not going to press with my honest and heartfelt comments about this vile rant on a man who is clearly head and shoulders above you,it should you in your true shameful colours..you could learn a lot from a legend like Paul Madeley like humility..no apology for your ignorance...well your parents must be really impressed how their son came to be a childish,ignoramus and hateful person who does not have the decorum to admit when he is a fool.
ReplyDeletei feel sad to say this,but i am glad you will never pass on your hatred to a son or daughter,you have failed your parents.
ReplyDeleteyou are supposed to be a grown man.
ReplyDeleteHF- Q1- Are you still going to blog about Leeds United this new season ?
ReplyDeleteQ2- If not Leeds who ?
Q3- If you carry on your growing love of Leeds which you informed me in a previous post, please stop the childish rants and wind ups and pretend to be a decent hack and blog some in depth posts, can you do that?
Q4- Finally you do know who shrek is when I refer to him in a previous post, if not do some research and you may know what I am talking about ?
All my love, W.A.C.C.O.E
