There were two main contenders for game of the season, one was Forest away and the other were Millwall at home, both comes to mind because we said goodbye to our beloved Leeds legend Gary Speed at those two.
I have chosen the home game against Millwall as my game of the season, because of the emotions in the stands and the heartbreaking image of Batty, Macca & Strachan saying goodbye to their friend.
I listened to both games on the radio and could hardly hold back the tears when hearing the fans 11 minute tribute to Speedo in Nottingham (ending with Snoddy scoring as the 11th minute ran out), or when i heard the crowd at home against Millwall. We won both games but actually football didn't matter at those two occasions, we all just wanted to say goodbye to Speed.
I hope we won't have to go through something like that ever again, a young man leaving his family and his life is awful, and the worst part is we will never really know how Gary felt when he made his decision.
This was my goodbye to one of my first Leeds heroes: http://kimba1980.blogspot.com/2011/11/goodbye-to-true-leeds-united-legend.html
