I wouldn't boo him but I wouldn't applaud him either. I don't regard him as an all-time great at Leeds and would be nowhere near my all time Leeds team - John Holmes was a far superior stand off for one.

Off the pitch, he broke two contracts with Leeds: one to leave to go to Union, the other by going to Bradford when he returned (I wasn't bothered from a playing point of view but we should have been able to get a transfer fee).

On the pitch, he was very good for Leeds for about two years - 1998 and most of 1999 when he started games at full back and moved up to stand off after 55/60 minutes. Besides that, he and the team were good in fits and starts only and, ultimately, disappointing. I don't think he lived up to the hype and transfer fee he had.

Are they all walking out on Friday? Would be good to see Godden, Glanville and such like. Iestyn is the best player I have ever seen play for Leeds. Full stop. That didn't stop me booeing him in his Bradford shirt tho!

Quote: huddersfield rhino "Harris from when he joined us from the Wire was world class and he won so many games for us, he is an all time great. However it is hard to forget what he did in 2004 going to Northern breaking an agreement and some of the stuff he said about Leeds was bad. But there again at the end of the 2004 GF who can forget the song at the end. Harris whats the score.
But it is time to forget, in the long term he has badly damaged Northern and remember what a player he was for the Blue and Amber'"


I was more bothered about celebrating our first title in my lifetime than gloating to Harris. Was a great player for us and provided me with so many of my favourite Leeds memories that over ride how he left so I for one will be applauding.

I agree. anyone who chose to sing that rather than celebrate our first title in 32 years is a complete tosse[ir[/i.

Should've made an effort to attend the dinner if you were that bothered.

Surely you weren't there. Because only glory supporters would go to a final.

If you are going to attempt to have a go at least try to make sense.

Quote: JMT "
Off the pitch, he broke two contracts with LeedsHe didn't break a contract with Leeds when he left for Union. Leeds agreed to release him for a fee and his agreement to return.

The fact that he signed that final Leeds contract earned Leeds significant compensation as he was about to walk away for free. It is reported that GH persuaded him to sign that, have 1 more year and then we would let him go.

Had Iestyn simply honoured his contract and left we'd have received no fee and had no claims upon him when he returned.

The "fall out", I would conject (is conject a word?) was because iestyn felt we hadn't done right by him when we eventually played hard ball before releasing him. Had Iestyn listened to his advisers he'd have never signed that last Leeds deal, walked to union for free, signed for the Bulls without restraint and you'd have had no justifiable complaints.

"very good"? He was inspirational. He was superb. He was man of steel. He was a great captain and a record points scorer. The team may have been good in fits and starts in 2000 and 2001 but Iestyn was always a cut above,

He was certainly value for the fee if not for his exploits but for the compensation we received twice over when he took his services elsewhere.

I think Iestyn needs to get some better advisers. As over the years he has made some very suspect decisions about hs career.

Nobody put a gun against his head to sign the contract, once he had done why did he break it. Finally why did he then slag Leeds off when he went to Northern saying he had gone to a better club etc. All these things that are really going to make things better.

I wonder if he had his time again, would go to Union where he hardly set the world on fire or go to to Bradford. If he had stayed with us he would have been seen as what he was one of the greatest players to play for the Blue and Amber.

He just needed to listen to the advisors that he had - he didn't.

That's the way I saw it. He signed the contract extension that gifted the club the transfer fee when he went to Union. I think if anyone should hold a grudge it would be Wire fans, but even then they got paid the transfer see by Leeds.
