They're Leeds. Durty Leeds. Bremner. Hunter. Sprake. Llllllorimar!

1972.

Derby are a league founder and easy to beat. I'll have them please.
Hear him! Hear him!

Besides which, for my footballing formative years (ie the 80s), Leeds were languishing in the second division where they belonged. I've never accepted them as being a 'natural' top-flight club. Forest have a stronger claim to be a 'proper club'. After all, they've got the silverware to prove it.
