Good Team effort guys. Even the boss chipped in.

Nobody got number 5.

Billy was the greatest footballer who has walked this earth. Someone whose whole ethos was based on his famous (in Leeds) quote, "side before self every time" A demi-God if you will.

25 years after his death, I would still take a days paid holiday and walk over hot coals to pay my respects to him.

Only a paid holiday? So not all that great then.

I jest. He was bloody amazing and he died way too young.

How come Leeds keeps churning out these demigods though? Revie, Bremner, Charlton, Clarke...Bielsa.

NB: This is not a quiz question.

[Whistler]

A suggestion. How about themed quizzes? Every answer starts with the letter 'T' or has the word 'Red' etc.

Peeps thoughts?

10) I was spending a lot of time in Germany in the early eighties so Nur Getraumt was probably biggest in Germany but the bands 99 Luftbaloons probably sold more singles due to it later being released several times in different languages including English and a mixed German/English version.
