Hometown, childhood, chip shops, LUFC, Crossgates, train station, drunk nights in town, my family, friends, interesting city, bendy buses around Seacroft, houses/flat being demolished, drunks, raised voices.

Billy Bremner, Alan Bennett, Jeremy (Nyes...) Paxman and sweet 'n' muscled rugby player Ellery Hanley. Leeds City railway station - and that's it. Sorry!

Michael F

First workplace on Basingall Street.
Briggate. City Varieties. The Black Prince.
My first wife.
Hemingways Bitter. Melbourne Bitter. Dangerous pubs. The covered market. Queen's Hall where I first saw the Grumbleweeds.
And Ellery Hanley WAS, in his brief prime before a hip injury, the finest Rugby player I ever saw, eclipsing even Lewis Jones. (Jason Robinson, a more recent superstar, also from Leeds).
Ice cream melting all over my hands as I was barred from returning to my seat by the sightscreen ropes as Freddie Trueman started an over.
Billy Bremner and Jackie Charlton pushing me out of the way to get to the bar.
First hilarious performance I saw of Charlie (then Mel) Williams in a club in Beeston.
Yearning for one of the houses in Scarcroft.
Dewsbury Road and Parkside. The Crescent cinema, inexperienced fumblings and rapid heartbeat.

Harry Reynolds (worked for him a while). Eddie Waring.

The beauty of the Aire at Kirkstall Abbey disappearing completely at Leeds Bridge.
The arcades. Lewis'. Marshall Snellgroves.
Never enough money.
One March day when it was impossible to walk against the wind.
Hand-in-front-of-your-face-Fog. Hot, sunny days and miniskirted goddesses.
Excitement of a full house at Headingley, smell of liniment.
A truly magnificent West Indian girl called Marcia with muscles on her eyebrows.
Wasted youth.
Hope and despair.
Past friendships.
Lost loves

Smile... its' not a place where I would ever consider stopping but it is handy to get to York, probably on the same road as Dick Turpin as the better places to live are outside town.
