That Leeds team was incredibly gifted but spent more time proving how tough they were. Liverpool won so much more because they had much better discipline.Keegan was just closing people down. Giles and Bremner couldnt handle it. Keegan won the ballon d,or twice. Giles was a donkey compared to him.

Not only did Giles enjoy a legal victory v. the David Peace book but Dave Mackay also enjoyed one (v. the film version). As a Hollywood lawyer called Fred Leopold used to say, "If you have real people as characters they can have lattes and muffins but they can't say, 'Let's go for a f**k in the bushes'."

Rightly sent off but was a bit riled with things being said on the pitch to him. I reckon thats what made him SAME REASON AS michael the mercenary owen was sent of mu v liverpool 1all draw.he was going through and was rightly sent off. Im glad he scored equalised first before he left the pitch. We dont know the half of it.
