"Being at Elland Road with a blonde, curly perm, afro with a few minutes left in the game. All I can hear is 'There's only one [mumbles], one [mumbles]!'.
"And I'm thinking 'Okay, yeah.' But it keeps going on, and on and I'm thinking that 'there's probably some ex-player in the director's box or something'.
