Why did he get in the Merc at the end would have been quicker for him to run back to Wales.

Sad to see him with his Dad in this; gutting that he didn’t get to see his lad score on Sunday :(

One of my best friends is a Leeds fan, he's convinced getting Daniel James in would have gotten them promoted. Thinks we've got a star on our hands. Good signs I guess, can't say I watched much Championship football last season.

Watched the first two episodes of this, it is really well made but falls into the same trap that most of these fly on the wall documentaries do. In an effort to build up interest and pacify the fans they glorify the club's past to hilarious levels. Talking about when Leeds "dominated Europe" was particularly cringeworthy.

Not so much of a problem with Leeds as the Sunderland one Netflix did.

Are we sure Crowe isnt referring to Leeds Rhino? I thought he was a Rugby League fan even though he came from New Zealand.
He probably is a rugby league fan but he’s definitely a Leeds United fan too.

. Was it really just Swansea pulling their leg?
Us fecking Leeds by telling Swansea we're coming for him in the summer and we'll pay more. Well at least that's what I would like to think.

It's pretty one sided, isn't it. Who knows what Leeds did to piss Swansea off..

Teams often give players permission to have medicals before a fee is agreed.. if Leeds remained off Swansea's valuation and didn't improve their offer, Swansea didn't do much wrong by telling them to feck off..

Swansea got more money.. James got a better transfer.. Leeds got fecked. Win win win

He's a co-owner of South Sydney Rabbitohs, Australian rugby league club

The worst thing about watching this video was that you can see how close he and his dad where. Breaks my heart that he never got to see his lad playing for Man United.
Yeah. And the best thing about the video is it's pretty clear he is an absolutely top guy.
