Leeds United Legends at Drax
3rd October 2025 at Drax Sports and Social Club
Last night saw me head over to Drax Sports and Social Club for the Legends event with Paul Reaney, Allan Clarke and Eddie Gray along with my sister Erica. I was born in Carlton one of the nearby villages to Drax, so I had to be there. I also remembered working at the club back in the 70s to get extra money to follow Leeds. As always it was another fantastic event with a packed-out support, and it was great listening to the lads as well as catching up with fans there. Meeting up with some of my Selby Whites, some who used to travel with me back in the 80s, it was good to reminisce about trips to Plymouth and stopping off in Bovey Tracey with our double decker Voyager International coach. As I was reminded, lots of other coaches had films on for the lads, but our coach had kid’s films on because my young daughter and son were travelling with us. I had a good bunch in our branch, and I was proud to run the branch for seven years before the death of my baby daughter meant I couldn’t look after them as well as my family. Special times though and the promotion season of 89-90 will always remain one of our great memories as a branch.
