Crap Loanees as Pro Wrestlers #11

The Trundletaker:

Lee Trundle Leeds united loan spell. The undertaker wwe wwf photoshop

I'll admit it. When we signed Lee Trundle I was quite excited. I'll also admit that this excitement was based pretty much on Soccer AM clips.

Trundle scored once (away at Brighton) and set up a goal with a great pass against Peterborough. 

That was about it. 

He spent the rest of his loan spell ambling round, thinking that he was better than he actually was, and missing penalties against Hereford.

Indisputably a crap loanee.

Blog plug alert:

Before you ignore this post; it is Leeds related!

As regular readers will have worked out, I love the corinthian football figures...

As even more regular readers will know, I have started repainting them!

What only the Eagle eyed among you will have noticed is that this has become enough of an obsession for me to start another blog solely devoted to these repaints. 

It's linked in the 'about me sidebar', but if you're the kind of person who needs a link right here in the text to motivate you, then here you go! (I've even linked it directly to the posts tagged with 'Leeds United'!)

And just so you don't feel ripped off by this post, here's a picture of Harpal Singh:

Leeds united. Who needs Michael Owen?

Because I'm so fed up of how utterly shit we are...

...here's a video that has literally never failed to put a smile on my face: 

a view, and more importantly, the sound of the kop as Beckford grabbed the promotion sealing goal against Bristol Rovers in 2010.

Enjoy.

Redders' Record

(Click to enlarge)
Halifax town, scarborough, northwich victoria, york city leeds united. caretaker extraordinaire

Much as I always want Leeds to do well, I'm not overly optimistic under Redders' leadership!

Overall win record of 19% (most of which was at non-league level) and of his 2 wins at Leeds, one was against 9 men, and the other was down to a Colin teamtalk. 

Hopefully Naylor will get him sorted out, cos, for my money, we still need 2 or 3 more points.

Fifa 96; Green and Blue

The amount of friendlies I played against Celtic skyrocketed after I saw that it led to an outing for our green and blue away kit!
