Leeds goalie Ted Burgin later moved to Rochdale. His first game was fogged off/abandoned, no-one told Ted and he had difficulty finding his way back to the Spotland dressing room! There were no buses and me and my brother had to walk home to Hollingworth Lake.

Re: burnley courting disaster

Newcastle itself returned 3 Labour MPs all with comfortable if reduced majorities. There are no Tories on Newcastle City Council and it must be 15-20 years since the blues were run out of the city. A mate of mine and Sheffield United supporter is currently mayor.
