Russell Gray

@Alan_Tonge @jsvickery Pretty much sums up what I think Al. The opening 10mins in such a vital game was shockingly poor. We need a few players especially in defence who ‘will die for the cause’

A very disappointing afternoon. Something not quite right in the group. Looked despondent, downcast, fragmented and lacked desire, intensity and quality throughout. Not over yet but if wanting to survive, there has to be huge improvement fight/battle wise. Feel for the fans #ecfc

@grecian10681068 @JRCooper26 He was a long standing Leeds player(full back) From the early 1950s until Paul Reaney replaced him.

@RussellG61 @JRCooper26 Not heard of the former !

Between April 1952 and October 1985, Leeds United played 1,696 matches and every single starting XI contained at least one player who made an appearance under Don Revie. #lufc

@ATRightMovies Leon(1994)

What is the first film you think of when you see GARY OLDMAN?

@grecian10681068 @JRCooper26 Off the top of my head, I reckon Grenville Hair(1952)to Peter Lorimer(1985) Lorimer was released around the age of 40 when Billy Bremner took over as manager in 1985

@RussellG61 @JRCooper26 Good stat Russ

@Paul_not_ecfc I thought you were running ! 😁

Off to parkrun this morning. It's been ages since I've been. Lucky me gets to look after my grandson rather than running 5k!

@ATRightMovies Crash(1996)

What is the first film or show you think of when you see HOLLY HUNTER?

@memorialdevice Great that Mark E Smith is prominent by the chimney, he certainly smoked like one !

Magazine, right at the front 🙏

@Classicbritcom @seventiesuk Absolute box office in his day.

Remembering the late Professional Snooker Player, Alex Higgins (18 March 1949 – 24 July 2010)

@museum2103 Iirc the Grecians did not play a FL game at Preston until 1978 ?

From the Grecian Archive on this day in:- 1971 City get a point in a 0-0 draw, away to Preston the first team to take a point at Deepdale for 6 months. 2005 Grays’ hopes of winning a second straight FA Trophy hang in the balance after they slipped to a 2-1 defeat to Exeter

@grecian10681068 @Stansted_Exp @GWRHelp Not bad Dave. It’s taken me that long to get to Manchester from Exeter on a Friday !

6 hours and 17 minutes from Warsaw Modlin to Exeter St Davids, via Stansted. Well done to all involved. Ryanair @Stansted_Exp @GWRHelp 🙏

@roathboy Looks a very good player, first time I’ve seen him play last Saturday. A impressive all round performance.

Colwill: ‘I’m very happy to get this sorted. This is my club and it’s the only place I’ve wanted to be since I was nine. I’m extremely proud to be wearing this shirt and I’ll give everything I can to get us back to where we belong. I can only see exciting times for us ahead.’

@Classicbritcom Loved listening to “The News Hudd Lines” on a Saturday lunchtime on Radio 2. Very funny radio show.

Remembering Roy Hudd who passed away 6 years ago today 😇🙏

@NYcheesy Nice photos. All the best to the couple for the future.

@Yorkshire_Tales Great days of Leeds Utd. Don trying to make Leeds loved ! I remember watching on the Big Match or Match of the Day.

The first 10 seconds of this clip show why so many people hated Revie’s Leeds. Imagine a team turning up at your home ground and taking the piss with that centre circle wave 🤨👏🏻 #LUFC #70sLeeds #MOT

@lee0969 @FatOldAnarchist @jillwebb2005 On The Roof, for me, I picked that track for my C90 compilation cassette i made when I got a radio cassette player for my car in 1980.

On this day in 1978 No 38 UK Album Chart The Adverts with their debut album “Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts” IMHO one of the finest debut albums ever. A difficult choice again but I’ll choose “No Time To Be 21” how about you? #1970s #Punk #TheAdverts @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

@LUDENClassics Apparently £30k spent on the car post 2017. Great colour. Possibly original paint.

My absolute favourite car of yesterday's Historics sale (and I missed watching the bidding on it), was this Bentley Continental S2. It was purchased in 2017 for £265,000, offered at auction last year and didn't sell, and then offered yesterday with a guide between £60k-£80k. Sold for £85,500 inc fees. Such a gorgeous thing, and in my eyes the patinated paintwork adds to its allure. Plenty of money spent in current ownership, but also has been sat for some time and requires recommissioning. This is the singular car I'd love to be able to drive (and go on a road trip) from this sale, just wonderful.

@jillwebb2005 You’re In My Heart, such a great song with a story.

Here’s the 4th batch of songs in round 5 of the #1977singlespoll There are 4 polls tonight. The top 2 from each go forward. 1/4 1 - David Soul 2 - Sex Pistols 3 - Rod Stewart

@FlyFifer10 Good old Bedford HA. They were easy to backfire. Ignition off coast flick the ignition on & bang 😁 Blew the exhaust off my gas van !

Had an Ex BT van in the 80s whilst renovating a house, done me proud. Was coach painted blue externally by time I bought it:

@FlyFifer10 Yes, the old nationalised gas board made a lot of money for the country. Large profits which went straight into the government coffers. At the time the cheapest Natural Gas in the world. I remember my old boss predicting what would happen & he was proved right.

@RussellG61 All ended up having work for life through their trade, all ended up in different rolls outwith the gas board. Certainly things changed with privatisation and not for the better.

Who had or remembers gas cookers like this? Built to last in them days:
