Jones and Clarke: World Cup Medals

From the Esso World Cup Medal Collection, 1970.

This set featured a few Leeds players, who had mixed fortunes in this World Cup.

Ultimately, Jones didn't make the squad.

Clarke was picked, tho, and grabbed his first England goal against Czechoslovakia.

Sunday, Monday: Hockaday!

Can just hear this reverberating around Elland Road...

Or he'll be terrible, and some other kind of clever word play (maybe something along the lines of 'Fuck-off-day') will be echoing out instead.

And, I don't see him reaching a third season either, truth be told... 

Out of his Depth: International edition

How could anyone expect Gattuso to be able to deal with Seth Johnson? It's almost cruel.

U-S-A!

So hard to take that this man isn't at the World Cup.

Surely USA would have cruised to victory if he was... or had another injury enforced substitution, anyway.

Here's to our 6 minute captain.

Corinthians: Flo

My reason for posting this today?

The start of the World Cup.

France 98 contained one of the finest moments of Flo's career; a vital goal in Norway's victory over Brazil.

This was, of course, long before he played for Leeds (as is evidenced by the fact that he was actually quite good at the time)

David Batty World Cup Medal

I think this was the first World Cup collection that I finished- medals that came from Sainsburys petrol station!

Batty didn't play for Leeds whilst at France 98, but I still got a bit excited over getting this one. Not as much as I did for the Nigel Martyn one, mind.

I forget how France 98 ended up for Batts...

Leeds World Cup Scorers

Here's my little video tribute to all the players who have scored at World Cup Finals tournaments, while representing Leeds United.

Apologies to Wilbur Cush, who scored in 1958, who I couldn't find footage for.

Also, please note that this video doesn't include players who scored at World Cups before they played for Leeds (eg Strachan) or afterwards (eg Kewell)
