Sergeant Wilko

"You don’t tell players what you’re doing because that would destroy the effect. By the time they’ve worked it out, it’s too late"

Speedo

"I thought it would always be like this. It was only years later that I realised the magnitude of what we’d done"

Shutty

"We were like stormtroopers... a relentless machine"

Vinnie

"This wasn't Wimbledon, where people tread on you like fackin' beetles. All of a sudden, when you walk through the jungle, you're this big fackin' white leopard!"

Aussie

"He said, 'You're coming in here asking me whether you should play at Old Trafford or Fiji?!'"

About Me

Dave Simpson: Yorkshire, United Kingdom; Dave Simpson is a Guardian journalist who writes mainly on music. His first book, The Fallen[www.thefallenbook.co.uk], was a monumental quest to track down everyone who had ever played in Mark E Smith's legendary band. He is now applying those same forensic and possibly certifiable skills to his football team, Leeds United. Living in Yorkshire, he has supported Leeds since the early 1970s, man and boy, which has brought about a small amount of pleasure and a great amount of pain. He also wrote for the LeedsLeedsLeeds magazine which documented United's rise and mostly fall from 1998 to 2011.

"When I scored I used to lose myself for two or three seconds afterwards"

Eric

"I don't care about anything"

Zico

"We did what we had to do, and I've got memories. Medals aren't important. Memories are"

Huggy

"Leeds United? I said 'Is this a wind up?' and put the phone down!"

Hodgey

"It's a bit like being in the army"
