Harte turned us down about 8-10 days ago, and said "I love it down here (Reading) and these have been the best two years of my career. It would be silly to leave such a fantastic club like Reading. I`m definitely happy where I am."I don`t say you can never go back as I`m sure that would be fine. But people would say back in those days that we had a fantastic team, playing Champions League football and it would have been difficult.
The words you need to read this week come from a Leeds fan called Martin Hywood. “I cannot be beat, I have to fight my hardest to do the things I love with the people I love. Every life is worth every effort to live it to its fullest and I’ll do that with my friends, family and my Beloved Leeds United.” We could probably just stop this column there. That’s all for this week, folks. Martin’s said it all. See you next time. We can’t leave it there, though. For a start, you still have to read the rest of Martin’s article on Right In The Gary Kellys. Martin has muscular dystrophy, and next time we are tempted to describe a Leeds’ performance as ‘painful to watch,’ we’ll remember Martin’s description of entering The Peacock on a match day: “The feeling in my legs is absolute agony, the burning sensation beyond all belief. I seriously want to cry (This 38yr old man wants to cry!) but as I turn right from the main door and enter’ A wave of ‘We are Leeds’ hit me like a wall; I honestly thought my hair moved!” In an unexpected twist, Martin’s article found its way to the powers that beat Elland Road. An email about the blog from Shaun Harvey was followed by a phone call to Martin from Ken and Suzannah Bates, who will be making a guest of Martin at a game, and making sure that his article is put before every member of the squad before next season gets underway. Hopefully our players will get the message.
