Luke Haines - Leeds Utd.

[GriefTourist]

if you read gordon burn's superb book about the ripper it says sutcliffe actually started going to bradford city games a few months before he was caught

[jonnyjaywick]

@GriefTourist and why wouldnt he ? valley parade is on the lane's doorstep, but it was the leeds fans who actually revelled in sutcliffe's notoriety, which is what this song is actually about.

[GriefTourist]

walton hop is a good one too...can't find it on youtube

[TheKatjalucia]

In which song does he mention Wearside Jack, a Yorkshire ripper copycat?

[Skylarker1976]

@TheKatjalucia That would be the song "21st Century Man" from the recent album of the same name.

Anyone seen the Red Riding-trilogy? Has Luke Haines seen it? It has a great feel

of Leeds in the late seventies and the early eighties.

[epicjon]

@buduiza I am sure I read somewhere Luke Haines is friends with David Peace author of the Red Riding quartet (TV adaptation, while very good missed a lot of stuff out)

[RebelRabbleLeeds]
