Sometimes the obvious is not obvious to a 60 year old. . I've done it now. . . . .. ... . . . I think.

Inspirational but have to say do not get twitter

I'll type out what was said on Twitter as some clearly can't find it.

Shaun Harvey: Martin, I have read the article which I have to say brought a tear to my eye. Your story is unique but similar to that of many other fans, much as Leeds United is the pleasure in what are difficult times for many different reasons. Lets hope that your commitment is rewarded and promotion is gained at the earliest opportunity.
Kind regards,
Shaun Harvey, Leeds United Football Club Limited.

Martin was at work when the phone rung.

Martin: "Hello, who's this?"

Caller: "Ken, Ken Bates"

Ken told him he'd read the article and was planning to hand a copy to Neil Warnock and every player that the team is constructed of after the break, and a copy, as requested, would be pinned to the changing room door. Martin and his wife were also invited to Elland Road as guests and their article will also be printed in the match day program.

The phone then rang again, it was Suzzannah Bates, she was only interested in Martin and his welfare, she asked all of his daughters names and ages and said that she looked forward to meeting his wife, Michelle, she also spoke very personally about her life.

Brilliant article by Martin. And the response from
Shaun, Ken, and Suzie has to be applauded. Got to
admit, I love Ken's idea of using Martin's story to
motivate the team. Because it should.

If I had a twitter account, and let Martin know just
how bloody inspiring he is. Fantastic.

Thanks for posting View.
