My Birthday

Daniel Butler • February 19, 2024

A Wonderful 11th Birthday!

It was the day before my 11th birthday and my family and I made the trip up to Elland Road for our fixture against Preston North End.


Thank you to the Hampshire Whites for sorting the tickets and to Jacqui who gave me an idea, to make a poster, asking one of the players for a shirt.


I decided that I would like to try and get Archie Gray's shirt because I was pleased that he had signed a new contract and because he loves Leeds as much as I do.

Disaster nearly struck when we realised we had left the poster in the car. James, my big super brother, dashed back to the car in the rain to get it, just before kick off!


We made it to our amazing seats and had a great view of the goal and corner.

After only 6 minutes, it was already 1-1 and I wondered what might happen next. After no more goals but plenty of tackles, yellow cards and time wasting, it was added time.


Leeds tried their hardest and managed to get a penalty given in the 90+4th minute.


I was as nervous as ever, Bamford passed the ball to Piroe. But, there was no need to be nervous anymore, Piroe smashed the ball in the back of the net!


I was over the moon with the 2-1 win for Leeds. 

As soon as the full time whistle blew, I ran down to the touch line with my poster.


I waited patiently as the players celebrated and walked around the pitch.


I could see Daniel Farke talking to Archie and he pointed in my direction. That was the moment ...Archie took off his shirt and smiled as he walked towards me. 


He handed me his shirt and even stopped for a photo!

I was absolutely buzzing (according to my Dad). I held on tightly to the shirt, all the way home. I can't wait to get it framed.


A BRILLIANT BIRTHDAY!

In January 2024 my dad took me to see my first ever Leeds United game. I liked it so much I asked if we could go again. But my Dad said we would have to see as it cost too much for travel. We kept watching on the TV and I kept on at my Dad about going to Elland Road again. Then in July time we met this man in the Range in Andover, I later found out he was Simon the Pie man. We got talking about Leeds United because of his tattoos and he told us about the Hampshire Whites. That night my Dad filled in some forms online and signed us up to the Hampshire Whites. Before long we got our badges in the post and we were members.

A rare trip to Wembley for Hampshire Whites!

To be so close to clinching automatic promotion back to the premier league and then fall away at the end was disappointing to see. But, looking at the overall picture and the mass exodus of players leaving or wanting to leave during pre-season the team have done incredibly well under the management of Daniel Farke.
