Leeds 4-1 Southend



Leeds scored three late goals to win their third straight game.

Alan Thompson opened the scoring with a free-kick but Adam Barrett equalised for Southend with a header after Matt Harrold's shot had been parried.

Leeds took the lead again after 85 minutes when Tore Andre Flo struck from 12 yards and Rui Marques then converted a corner from Sebastien Carole.

Jermaine Beckford then capped a fine performance with an 18-yard volley after a long pass from Tresor Kandol.

Leeds: Ankergren, Richardson, Marques, Heath, Hughes (Parker 72), Prutton (Flo 79), Douglas, Thompson, Westlake (Carole 42), Kandol, Beckford.

Derby recruit Leeds winger Lewis

Lewis has completed his move to Derby Derby boss Billy Davies has signed winger Eddie Lewis for an undisclosed fee from League One side Leeds. Lewis joined Leeds from Preston in June 2005 on a free transfer and was in the final year of his Elland Road deal. The 33-year-old was part of the North End side managed by Davies which was beaten in the Championship play-off final by West Ham in 2005. Lewis made only 22 appearances for Fulham before moving to Preston in summer 2002 for £500,000. He played 96 games for the Elland Road club, scoring nine goals.

Leeds complete Clapham loan

Leeds United have completed the loan signing of Wolves defender Jamie Clapham and he is set to make his debut at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The 31-year old full-back is now contracted to Elland Road until 30 September.
Clapham was unable to sign in time to feature in Leeds' 4-1 League One home win over Southend on Saturday, but he has trained with his new team-mates.

The former Tottenham, Ipswich and Birmingham player insists the 15-point deduction Leeds incurred for going into administration during the pre-season was not an off-putting factor in his move.

"I'm here to play football for the next five weeks and I'm looking forward to it," Clapham told Leeds' official website.
"At the moment it's 15 points off the top, and hopefully by the end of September we'll be in the positives points-wise."



Seems this is the short term solution - he must have his eye on someone for the longer term though.

Hibs quiet on Jones' Leeds link

Rob Jones' agent says Leeds are interested in the defender Hibernian are refusing to comment on claims that they have left captain Rob Jones angry by refusing to sell the central defender to Leeds United. Agent Kevin Smith told The Sun: "I know Rob has spoken with the chairman and expressed his desire to go back to England to play his football. "I am aware Leeds have shown an interest in Rob. "But Hibs have made it clear that he is not for sale and there is bad feeling and disappointment on our side." The 27-year-old Jones has become a first-team regular with Hibs after leaving Grimsby Town last summer. The offer from Hibs was not acceptable and we are very disappointed by it Agent Kevin Smith But his agent claims that the player has been left disappointed by his contract. "It was agreed under previous manager Tony Mowbray that, if Rob did well, we could come back to the table to review things," he said. "But the offer from Hibs was not acceptable and we are very disappointed by it. "I have heard rumours that Hibs are looking for around £1m for Rob. MY SPORT: DEBATE What is your reaction to the agent's claims? "But if they are looking for that kind of figure then they should aim to reflect that in his salary and they have not done that. "Rob is contracted to Hibs for another three seasons, but he has personal issues and they will need to be addressed at some point. "But, at the moment, he is captain of Hibs and he will continued to serve them with loyalty until that situation changes."

An SPL captain to a League 1 side?! Surely not?! Would be a good acqusition though!

Oh, looks who's writing a book . . .
Ridsdale's Leeds United book profits go to charity







View Gallery


By Paul Robinson
FORMER Leeds United chairman Peter Ridsdale is donating all the money he makes from his controversial new book to charity.

Ridsdale's decision to tell the story of his turbulent six-year reign at Elland Road has sparked accusations from fans that he is cashing in on United's disastrous decline.

The YEP understands, however, that every penny the ex-Leeds chief receives in royalties or upfront payments from the book is going to St Gemma's Hospice in Moortown.

The sum handed over to the hospice is likely to run into tens of thousands of pounds.

A source close to Ridsdale said: "Peter thinks he's got every right to give his side of the story. He hasn't in full detail until now.

"But he also recognises that a lot of Leeds fans might take the view that he shouldn't profit from the club's demise.

"By making this donation to the hospice, he hopes the supporters might at least give him a fair
hearing."

Due out in November and published by Pan Macmillan, the lifelong Leeds fan's book is entitled United We Fall: Boardroom Truths About The Beautiful Game.

In it, he describes how the Whites attempted to "live the dream" by splashing out millions of pounds on players such as Rio Ferdinand – but ended up £80m in debt.

He also looks back on the courtroom trials of Leeds stars Lee Bowyer and Jonathan Woodgate and the deaths of United fans Chris Loftus and Kevin Speight in Turkey.

The book has been co-written with Steve Dennis, the Yorkshire-born journalist who penned the memoirs of Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell.

A spokeswoman for St Gemma's said today: "We are thrilled that Peter Ridsdale is helping us out in this way."

Ridsdale, who quit as Leeds chairman in 2003 and is now in charge at Cardiff City, was unavailable for comment.

The Book is Entitled TW@T

[mowgli77]

I once read a hooligan book where the Leeds fans could only praise Ridsdale because when those stabbed in Turkey needed surgery/hospital treatment etc he paid for it on his credit card and did all he could for those out there. He sounded like a real gent and decent bloke. After all the stuff came out about him fleecing the club, the goldfish stories and sky high wages I couldn't help but think it would be the club that covered the cost really and not him. Would be very interested to find out too.
