I’ve seen that before Q but it’s a very good watch.

Giles was a great player, great manager and a great man.

Coming from Leeds area and watching Leeds a lot with my dad in the 70’s I got to see that great side a lot.

My dad used to take me to the Albion matches and when Giles took over he told me that we’d definitely get promoted.

I wasn’t so sure when we were bottom at the end of September but dad told me to be patient and that he could see we were getting better.

I remember us finally winning, I was at the Plymouth Argyle match when Ally Brown scored with a far post header and we won 1-0, that was the turning point, I think there were only around 11,000 in attendance that day.

Marvellous player was Giles, never broke sweat, could read a game like a psychic and could pass like an angel.

My dad said that only Bobby Collins was better than Giles.

My old man really had an eye for a player, he was a Willie Johnston fan like me! 😎

Glad I was around to see it but sad that not enough of it is on tape to be able to enjoy.

Worse for Des, not being able to watch Jessie Pennington on video!
