Starting university at dirty Leeds

Turned out I was in the same halls as one of the guys from Northern Canaries, but unfortunately didnt find out until many years later. My Dad used to post me the Pink Un every week. That was the year we got relegated there. I didn't go but was listening on the radio. Sat in my room absolutely heartbroken and one of the other girls from my flat told me to cheer up it was only a game. That didnt help 🤣
