We're not Famous Anymore

The 3rd of January 2010 will be a date that many Leeds fans will remember for a long time. The 3rd division leaders took on the Premiership champions of England in a Battle of the Roses F.A cup tie to reignite their rivalry of yesteryear, It has been over 6 years since we took on our neighbours from across the pennines. What was to occur was something special.

On the 1th minute of play, Leeds born Jonny Howson played a 50 yard pass over the top of the Manchester United defence to Beckford, As he brought the ball down, his first touch was poor, but his pace was just too much for Wes Brown. As the angle was becoming more and more tight, Brown hot on his heels and Tomasz Kuszczak running out towards him, all had seem lost, but a flicker of a foot played the ball under Kuszczak and it rolled into the empty net in what seemed to take an eternity. Goal. Cue hysteria at Old Trafford... MARCHING ON TOGETHER!!

Don't really care what people say, This was an amazing day for us Leeds fans. We played like we were still in the Premiership, either that or Man utd was just really really bad. I wish we could play this well more often against the league one teams. But we're through to the 4th round of the F.A cup for the first time in a while, so I'm going to enjoy this moment.

Next Round, Tottenham Hotspurs.

Does exactly what it says on the board
