The fact is that it once was, in 1929. Move over Valhalla. American Gene Sarazen tees off in the Ryder Cup in Leeds in 1929 (Photo: Hulton Archive / Getty) Russell Crowe almost bought the football team England are playing Iceland tomorrow. If they win that game, they’ll play Tesco’s next Saturday and then Asda on Wednesday. Well, alright" he replies. "But I'm not jumping until you put the blanket down and move away from it......" Look" he says to the united fan, "this must be another sign from God, we should drink this whiskey to celebrate our friendship and survival" Q. What’s the difference between listening to Alex Ferguson’s after-match interview and childbirth?
Not wanting to be out done, the Newcastle fan threw himself off the mountain, proclaiming "This is for the Magpies!" They are understandably all a bit nervous but, being a brave lad and the club captain, Keane goes first. At the last second, the firemen whip the blanket away. Keane splats on the pavement, dead. A symbiotic relationship between the professional game and the showbusiness set was developing, as the players came to enjoy mixing with well-known entertainers, and the performers relished the chance to share a pitch with some of the top pros. Gradually, however, ideological differences would start to creep into the celebrity dressing room, and the Showbiz XI would eventually be hit by a bitter split that would result in a rival operation being formed by the Winter brothers. Daily Mirror: 'Riot' over Showbiz XI - Fifty people were hurt as thousands forces there way into football ground The Match of the Day presenter initially tweeted: "Think it’s outrageous of Harry and Meghan to do an interview that’s transmitted at such a delicate time. Surely they could have waited for the Leeds West Ham game to finish."

Why were so many comedians now drawn to golf? The traditional reason - which was, and to some extent still remains, very relevant - was that it was simply the most convenient leisure activity for entertainers who worked at night and had most of the day free. A round or two of golf enabled the resting comedian to wake up and emerge into the fresh air, get some moderate exercise in pleasant and semi-private surroundings, and socialise with one or a few of their co-stars in a relaxed and healthy context. The facilities were in easy access, whether one was working at home, or touring, or in summer season - there was always a local golf club from which one could inveigle an invitation - and the al fresco experience was an excellent contrast to the smoky, artificially-lit and adrenaline-driven thrill or ordeal of the variety theatre or recording studio. There was actually a grudge match between the two teams in the early Sixties on a pitch near Croydon Airport. Notable enough to be filmed for television, the formidable-looking Showbiz XI team included Sean Connery and Des O'Connor as well as former England captain Billy Wright and former Wales captain Wally Barnes, while the rather less formidable-looking TV All Stars were heavily reliant on their one regular ex-pro, the former West Ham defender Malcolm Allison. I'm afraid he's not here," came the reply, "We already gave him the afternoon off so he could attend your funeral." There is a old Liverpool fan who is dying so he calls his Liverpool friends and asks them to do one last thing for him. For their punishment the Saudi Arabia Sheik decided that the punishment should be 20 lashes with a whip.
A primary teacher informs her students that she is a Liverpool fan. She invites her students to raise their hands if they, too, support Liverpool. Except for one little girl, everyone in the class raises their hands. And speaking of disappointments, let’s not forget the treasure trove of Liverpool FC jokes that never fail to keep us entertained when the match itself doesn’t. Ah, you’ve got to love the classics. Why did the Liverpool fan bring a ladder to the bar? To finally get some points! These zingers are the bread and butter—or should we say, the “bitter and scouser”—of football banter. They add that extra zing, like hot sauce on a bland taco. The jokes are like the unofficial mascot of the club, always lurking around, ready to pounce the moment there’s a fumble, a missed goal, or yet another defensive mishap. So here’s to Liverpool FC jokes, the gift that keeps on giving, much like their defense to the opposing team! Funny Liverpool FC Jokes On one occasion, when Mike and Bernie were appearing in pantomime in Bournemouth, they braved a blizzard to drive more than a hundred miles to play a game in a tiny town in Bedfordshire. The following week, however, they again battled the inclement weather and travelled to Ruislip, reeking of wintergreen, only to discover that they had been dropped from the starting eleven. That’s the Memory Man.” said the bartender. “He knows everything, remembers everything. He can remember every face he’s ever seen. He can remember any fact he hears or reads. Go and try him out.” So the Liverpudlian goes over, and thinking he won’t know about English football, asks “Who won the 1965 FA Cup Final?”.
Many entertainers can delude themselves into believing that what audiences really want from them is not their primary skill but one of their secondary interests, which is why some musicians attempt to make movies, some talent show judges bid to burst into song and some actors convince themselves that they are actually political theorists. They have every right to do so, in their spare time, but it is down to management to stop them from inflicting such self-serving fallacies on the audience. Temple Works is a Grade-I listed former flax mill known for its incredible Ancient Egyptian design and for the fact it was the largest single room in the world when it was built in 1836. But that’s not its most interesting fact. To maintain the humidity levels within, they grew grass on the roof of the building which was grazed on by a herd of sheep. And to get them up there, they invented the first ever hydraulic lift. 19. Leeds has been home to literary giants A man arrives at the gates of heaven, where St. Peter greets him and asks, “Before I let you in, I must ask you what you have done in your life that was particularly good.” Despite two goals from Stuart Dallas Leeds have lost in the play-offs to Derby. A definite case of Derby Does Dallas. #LEEDER
