LEEDS UNITED - SATURDAY 29/01/2005

REPORT
It was the first week in May in 2001 that Brighton and Hove Albion won the Division Three title, after beating Chesterfield 1-0 at Withdean. It was that same week that Leeds United took on Valencia for a place in the Champions League Final - one step away from being the best team in Europe. In the 4 years that have past, Brighton have gone from strength to strength, while Leeds have slipped from that place in the elite. It was with great excitement, and arrousement, that Witham and McCarthy were to see these 2 clubs clash at the famous Elland Road stadium

It was a long journey, so Tom Witham wisely decided that some books would be a good idea. Here he is, with a book about Hitler And heres McCarthy, with his story on Crap Jobs
