Dave TomlinsonGUEST
Shh.
Colin ShindlerHOST
Going back to John's relationship with Leeds, I mean, John had, in inverted commas, Gary McAllister, who was possibly the main spring of the championship-winning side of 1992.
Colin ShindlerHOST
A very fine player.
Colin ShindlerHOST
And was the Leeds that Ridsdale built built out of that Howard Wilkinson side, or did it change when Wilkinson left? Or what happened-
Dave TomlinsonGUEST
He saw it as the right thing to do to build the club.
Dave TomlinsonGUEST
And when you get to the Champions League side, they'd got an awful lot of young players that came through the ranks.
Dave TomlinsonGUEST
So Alan Smith, Paul Robinson, Gary Kelly, Ian Hart, Jonathan Woodgate.
Dave TomlinsonGUEST
Most of those came up from the ranks.
Alison BenderHOST
Mm.
Ádám BogdánGUEST
Um, so but the, still the big boys were still there, you know, like, like Jussi Jaaskelainen and Kevin Nolan, Gary Speed, Onyewu, uh, Iván Campuzano, Ricardo Gardner.
Alison BenderHOST
Yeah.
Ádám BogdánGUEST
Um-
Chris MoylesGUEST
You did, yeah.
Duncan FergusonGUEST
Remember, God bless him, Gary Speed was in midfield-
Chris MoylesGUEST
Oh
Duncan FergusonGUEST
... boys like that.
Warren BartonGUEST
Yeah, I'm pleased for Leeds, because they've had their difficult time, and I think we all know about Leeds and Elland Road and the history and the players.
Warren BartonGUEST
And maybe I've got a burning desire because Gary Speed was my room partner for four years and, and David Batty as well, and I, I scored my first Premier League goal against Leeds.
Warren BartonGUEST
So I, I like Leeds.
Warren BartonGUEST
I think it's a proper football club, like Everton, like Villa, like Newcastle, that don't maybe get the glamour.
John GilesGUEST
You know, with Gordon Strachan and Gary McAllister.
John GilesGUEST
We had Gary Speed, David Batty, Tony Greco, Chris White.
John GilesGUEST
A lot of, lot of terrific, Chris Warkness, terrific players.
John GilesGUEST
Uh, but the reason I picked the, the, all the lads from my time was because, uh, they did it for 11, at least 11 years, Nathan.
Daniel ChapmanHOST
There was a change in goal, with Mark Beeney replacing John Lukic behind a back four of Gary Kelly, David Wetherall, Richard Jobson and Tony DiRigo.
Daniel ChapmanHOST
Midfield was anchored by Carlton Palmer, with Gary Speed and Gary McAllister around him.
Daniel ChapmanHOST
Tony Yeboah and Brian Dean were partners in attack, and with a licence to roam between them and the midfield, Thomas Brolin was free to be himself.
Daniel ChapmanHOST
And it was Alex Ferguson's team that looked disjointed and out of fashion.
BenGUEST
I don't mean to bring the mood down.
BenGUEST
I could be wrong and we were away from home, but didn't we play Villa at home a couple of days or day after Gary Speed passed away?
LeeHOST
No, it was...
LeeHOST
Well, it was on the day, wasn't it? I think it came out-
Liam KnightHOST
I think that would be a polite way of putting it.
Liam KnightHOST
For a myriad of reasons, I thought, you know, I would say maybe I'd trace it back to when Gary Speed left, which in the hindsight of time is obviously very different.
Liam KnightHOST
But I think at the time there was a bit of, why are we letting Newcastle take our best player and so forth? But I think...
Liam KnightHOST
That game, not just because of the result, but I think it shows the job Moyes has done because you see these other teams are investing.
BrooklynHOST
Paul, probably Molby is Dutch, so it could also be thrown into the trick.
BrooklynHOST
Welsh, I, the, the only Welsh manager I actually know is Gary Speed, who had the Wales job, didn't have a manager's, to my knowledge.
ShayHOST
Yeah.
ShayHOST
Swedish, Dutch.
Leon BrittonGUEST
Kevin Blackwell got the sack in my first home game.
Leon BrittonGUEST
Gary Speed come in, tried to change the style of football a little bit.
Leon BrittonGUEST
But I think with the players that Sheffield United had at the club at the time, it just wasn't suited.
Leon BrittonGUEST
And Gary Speed then went on to Wales and then Mickey Adams come in.
Leon BrittonGUEST
And it was, again, it was long ball direct.
Leon BrittonGUEST
I knew from the start, like early in that season, this isn't going to work.
