John McCormick writes: Some time in the early sixties, after my dad had taken me to St James Park for my very first proper game, he and I were listening to a match on the radio. It was Sunderland v Leeds or more probably Leeds v Sunderland. I think I’d decided to support Sunderland by then but it was possibly this match that confirmed it for me and turned me away from the Dark Side for all time.
It may have been another ten years before I got round to seeing Leeds live. Not so for Pete Sixsmith; it looks like he was there in the flesh as me and my dad sat listening to the light programme in the kitchen.
