Brought a tear to my eyes when I learned Bill had gone to Boro.
268 games for us in 7 1/2 years
Great memories, the lung-busting run in the 90th+ minute v Swansea setting up Pablo to score seeing me and my son go wild as we secured promotion to the Prem, the goal against Huddersfield and his celebration after and the "Robbie Keane" celebration and so, so many more including the "Ayling Flop".
The way he behaved on and off the pitch and how he got LUFC means I will love him always.
If I take my rose-tinted glasses off then perhaps the last 18 months have seen his performance decline
Yes I cried as a kid when Billy, Johnny and Norman left but real legends live on
He was with us in the bad and good times, a total legend in my heart and mind
First off, let me say this.
Thank you for your work over the past 7.5 years. Your professionalism in the public eye was exceptional, your professionalism in your training is what young footballers should thrive to match and your attitude to our club what the fans love.
Now I say this.
Can you confirm that Leeds has offered you a new contract but in a different role which starts in August 2024?
My personal feelings are that you should have been converted into a right winger 2 years ago which would have seen you prolong your leeds career.
Good luck for your 6 month loan.
