Leeds United Supporters Network (LUSN) have invited several guests to our members meetings to talk about their careers and all things Leeds United.

We kicked off with Bryn Stokes from West Yorkshire Police who enlightened groups about Policing methods in the Premier League, behaviour expectations, and how not to get arrested.

Adam Pope, the BBC Commentator from Radio Leeds explained his meandering career path from builders merchants to becoming a commentator, his job on BBC Radio Leeds, black leather coats, and his love for all things Italian . Adam’s undisputed enthusiasm for his vocation has influenced his son to join him into the world of quick fire bon mots as a fellow commentator.

Christopher Evans MP is Shadow Minister for Defence Procurement and may seem an unusual choice for a speaker as our group’s views on the purchase of Challenger tanks have not featured heavily in our discussions. Chris, however, was the author of Don Revie-The Biography which was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Sports Books awards in 2022. Chris explained his research and how the accusations of bribery that haunted Don were totally unfounded. He believed that Don was one of the first victims of cancel culture and asked for LUSN help in getting the Football Association to apologise to Don’s family for his treatment.

Our last guest was our veritable CEO, Maoist agricultural expert, and the owner of the UK’s largest thesaurus, Angus Kinnear. Unfortunately, we can say very little about the meeting as Angus does not want any of his illuminating comments to be recorded.

It is a case of you had to be there.



Indeed, we would encourage all groups to attend our meetings to get the inside story on Leeds United and how, together, we can improve the match day experience for all supporters. We thank all our speakers for giving up their time.

We intend to make a guest speaker a feature of all our members' meetings.
