This was posted on WACCOE in the very small hours of this morning. A guy who works in a club in Leeds wrote this, well worth a read.
Direct quote:
"Here's one hot off the press for you! I've just got in from my esteemed nightclub, where a fair proportion of the Leeds United first team squad were present, some looking a little worse for wear. These were they:
Tony Warner
Very tall. Sensible. Enjoyed a boogie to a few R&B numbers.
Gary Kelly
You nightowls out there who frequent Leeds City Centre will know that Gary is famed for his consummate professionalism. Pissed as per usual. Smoked several cigarettes (if it was good enough for Revie's team...) Spent a fair amount of time trying to coerce girls into dancing with him, with limited success. Requested House of Pain "Jump Around" to which I duly obliged. Terrible but enthusiastic dancer, which should be commended. To his credit he did exchange a Leeds Salute with me but he was the bloke at the end when the lights go up going "Go on, just one more! Frank Sinatra". Sorry to deny you Gary, but it was hometime.
Killer
To cool for school. Carried himself well. Didn't appear too pissed. Had a boogie to some R&B. Popular with the girls.
Steve Stone
Looked very happy. Fairly tipsy. Smiling all the time. Had a bit of dance to some of the more golden oldie tracks, which wasn't surprising. I prayed he wouldn't try any fancy moves for fear of snapping his legs. Called me a "f**king wanker" in jest at the end as beer was sprayed in his direction, despite the fact that I wasn't drinking, was a good 15 feet away and the culprit was one Shaun Derry...
Shaun Derry
Disturbing. Socialises like he plays. All over the place, covered a lot of ground. Literally. From my slightly elavated position in the DJ box I watched him stride purposefully around the club tapping random members of the public on the shoulder. They turned to face him and he simply raised his eyebrows or pointed towards the sky, before walking off. Stood on a bar stool and leapt off during House of Pain. Most of the above was completed with a bottle of Bud pressed to his lips, with both hands wrapped around the neck of the bottle. Pissed. Gave Stoney and several others his beer shower deep into injury time. For reasons I can't quite put my finger on, he's gone further up in my estimation!!
Kevin Nicholls
Like the new kid at the party. Leaned against the wall, pissed. Lost his footing a bit, readjusted, then leaned against the wall again. Had a bit of a boogie when they first arrived. Preferred dance music.
Eddie Lewis
Spent most of his time slightly mesmerised and grinning at Derry. Seemed happy enough. Took it easier than the rest like the lightweight Yank he is. Was wearing a terrible peach argyle sweater. Danced to a few of the oldies with Steve Stone.
Robbie Blake
Sunk a few beers, but was undistinguished. Had a dance with Lewis and Stone but seemed more preoccupied with chatting up girls.
Richard Cresswell
Our erstwhile centre-forward made his grand entrance by break-dancing on the dance floor! Proceeded to do a head stand and started scissor-kicking his legs. Given our current dearth of strikers I feared the worst. Happily no injuries resulted and Cressie went onto have a stormer, being the last to leave at the very end with a blonde thing on his arm. Except she was a tiny bit chubby. But we all know that fat girls try harder.
You're telling me we're not gonna walk this league? With that team spirit? Piece of piss!"

Derry sounds like a nut-job ;D. Kelly shouldn't be smoking. And Cresswell break-dancing, he's got to be ready .

Derry does sound nuts doesn't he!!
If this account is true then it comes across that we've certainly got the team spirit, although what on earth was Cressie doing??!

At least it's given most of the fans something positive to talk about rather than having a go at Blackwell!

Who said anything about footballers not being allowed to get pissed?
We were merely having a laugh about the players!
No-one criticised them.

Calm down mate, they are still human beings they are allowed to have some fun every now and then. They've had 3 full clear days to recover before tomorrow, no game mid-week why not have a team building night on the town. There is nothing wrong with what they did, in Revie's days the players would go out on the piss the night before the match. They would smoke and many were borderline alcoholoics. Give them a break, you are the only one on here and on Waccoe out of about 50 odd people who has made a negative comment about this.

Are you saying the professional footballers should live the life of a monk while their careers are ongoing? Personally I think this story is great news and shows a great level of camaraderie and team spirit at Leeds that they choose to associate recreationally as well as on the pitch. If such nights out allow the players to kick back, relax and de-stress several days before a game I think it can only be a good thing. So long as it's more than two days before a game I really don't see a problem, quite the opposite. Also, you mention that Cresswell shouldn't be socialising while injured? Eh? I knackered my achilles playing football once but it didn't stop me having a life, staying in a moping wouldn't make it heal any quicker. I couldn't play football but as sure as hell could still have a good time. I'm sure Cresswell is maintaining his fitness as best he can while he cannot train fully so why shouldn't he be able to get pissed once in a while.
