"We lived the dream"

Is what former Leeds United chairman Peter Ridsdale now rather infamously stated as his Elland Road empire crumbled around him.

Well for one thing the kit.
LCFC have launched a new away kit. Not bad is my verdict (despite the dodgy sponsorship logo). I think Georgie Girl would look pretty cool in one of those tops. Anything to seek a bit of attention. Click to continue reading...

I guess you can't blame them, but various LCFC players are abandoning ship. Stearman is off, as is Hume.
