A searing tale of abuse, wonderfully written, Neil. Your family are clearly the perfect antidote.

Many Happy Returns, Peter. Hope it’s a great day for both of you. I share mine with Billy. #lufc

Surviving her childhood career and all that came with it, is a feat in itself.

I think it’s less the colour and more; i) the knob who was wearing them and ii) the jeggings fit. See also point i) #lufc

Breaking News, #Leeds fans! Hugo Spritz is on our BA flight about to depart from Split, Croatia. Proven International experience, Italian style and apparently ‘wildly delicious’ in the box #lufc

We just don’t get the transfer leaks that we used to. At least the club doesn’t knowingly supply them. Gnonto will go if we get a replacement, which is being worked on; if we don’t, he won’t #lufc

‘Leeds that’ is alive and kicking on here as well as t’other place. Two games, 4 points, unbeaten. Would you prefer a world class performance and lose one-nil? #lufc

The team just exhibited a different level of cool too; Ducarouge in 1979 would have been a fitting co-star for Jean-Paul Belmondo!

Guy Ligier, who died #OnThisDay in 2015, at 85, was the owner & boss of his eponymous #F1 team, which won 9 F1 GPs between ’76 & ’96. Ligiers were among the most beautiful F1 cars of the era - here are Jacques Laffite’s & Patrick Depailler’s magnificent Ligier JS11s at Interlagos in ’79.

#OnThisDay in ’87 Didier Pironi was killed in a powerboat accident off the Isle of Wight, 5 years after his #F1 career had been ended by a violent accident at Hockenheim. Click below to read a @motor-sport.bsky.social column I wrote about him. www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/sin...

Matt Bishop: How many F1 titles would Didier Pironi have won?
Didier Pironi's devil-may-care attitude brought tragedy and disaster to his short career. What could he have achieved in an alternate version of his story? asks Matt Bishop

Aaronson for Wilson; let’s hope we don’t wait until we’re a goal down with 20 mins left to do the switch #lufc

Agreed. Looks like a ransom note. We’ll be getting Paul Rachubka’s left ear delivered by DPD unless we pay the €5M up front #lufc

I can report that it also existed in the Revie era. The West stand had a fair share of grouching, shouting and boo-boys even while we were winning the league in ‘74. The late Terry Yorath in particular, used to receive some fearsome abuse. #lufc

And nowhere in the country did the floppy curtain haircut worse than Arsenal and its fans back in the day. Fair point.

Fair enough, Reed was a good 14lbs over his fighting weight by 1980, but don’t tell him.

Ex para’s I think? Assume you’re talking Collins here and not Reed, although that wouldn’t surprise me

There was always a hint of danger about Lewis Collins. Like an apprentice Ollie Reed.

I’m sure McEnroe used the same excuse, during the epic tie-break in the 1980 Wimbledon final.

Be a huge shame to lose him. Smart lad, some solid, reliable performances. Exactly the non-calamity you need, even on the bench. #lufc
