Changing Times 12,218 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 That run was a bit deflating after the start we'd made. Was it Leeds or Sheff Wed we eventually beat to end it? Leeds away? Sheff Wed at home around Easter time I think? That one was a TV game and Freestone, who was hoped to be the next big thing 🤨, scored a goal if I remember rightly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I want to say that Leeds had a man sent off and Lucas Radebe ended up in goal for them as well? We still could only manage a 1-0 win with a penalty though lol? That's if it's that game and I'm not remembering another one in it's place. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
