[WTF11]

Yep Org - Spurs & Mullery & also correct too WTF.

Both photos got passed around & started a debate within my Dads fan group on whose leg, sock & boot of the flying tackler incoming on Giles belonged to.

One bloke within the group actually collects vintage football-boots & reckons the boot belongs to El Tel as he endorsed the newly launched 1967 Puma King brand also worn by Brazil's Pele & Eusabio of Portugal at that time. He also owns a pair of Clarkes famed Puma Flamenco yellow flash on black worn boots.

This blokes got various Leeds players pairs of Stylo matchmakers Sabre boots, a pair of Peter Lorimers worn Adidas, a Giles worn Gola pair plus a Paul Madeley worn Puma King pair !

Amazing obsession or what - wow !

My Mum, Dad & Gran enjoyed your 'share' WS.
So thanks for that & wow he's looking great......

Good to hear the family liked it...

Had to look again at the 7-0 v Saints, they were like matadors that day, putting a Bull to the sword... great footballer, who could more than look after himself

I should have looked at the badge - thought JG was wearing an Irish kit 🕍🙈🙉

Probably just as well for my bank balance, but I’ve never paid much attention to collecting match worn boots, although I do have a bright orange pair of Meslier’s (with matching gloves) that tie in nicely with a shirt of his I acquired earlier this year.

A fair number of modern players seem to have extra embroidered stuff on their playing equipment and these puppies took my fancy, especially as the ensemble appears on a Panini card (it wasn’t Mes’s best day at the office, but no need to discuss that further, eh?!).

Other than far too many shirts, I do have a couple of match balls and arguably my crown jewel is one of Billy’s international caps.

I wore the cap on my “Crowdie” for the COVID season.

One of my favourite players growing up. Leeds could do with a player of his caliber right now. Also, don't remember him ever missing a penalty. Must have happened but I dont remember it.

Sorry to break the news Cherry but I asked my Dad about Giles & penalty returns and he informed me he missed one against Liverpool (saved by Tommy Lawence).

Checked it out and here's the report.

Thank you Monaco for that information. Interestingly, I did not know about that miss, as I was not a Leeds supporter back then. I became a Leeds supporter sometime in early January 1970. I was a schoolboy on my end of year break in Malaysia when I caught them on TV one Sunday. Our academic year was late January to early December, so that was the long break for me. Remember the commentator was Hugh Johns. I am blanking on the name of the show, but I remember they showed the entire match. Leeds just looked and played differently to anything I had seen. They just passed and moved the ball and dominated the entire game.
