three/ one/ two thousand & ten 03/01/10
On January 3rd 2010 two teams with an intense and bitter rivalry met in the 3rd round of the F.A Cup. Leeds United’s most recent demise saw them slip into the third tier of English football for the first time in their history after a public financial meltdown which would serve as a warning to other clubs spending beyond their means. The period that proceeded saw Leeds United in the Champions League with a side of talented youngsters built up from a blossoming academy. Manchester United continued to enjoy success in the Premier League winning an incredible eleven titles since it’s inception. With the likes of big money signings such as Rooney and Berbatov as well as seasoned professionals such as Giggs and Owen, there was little to suggest Leeds United would get anything other than experience from this fixture.
