I thought he was sold because SL rejected him after Cheltenham incident. Great how he has done so well for himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I recall he had that much publicised Cheltenham races incident which didn't go down too well with our owners. We also had Mark Little at RB and Flint at CB, Korey, Wade & Marlon in midfield. Everyone knew he was a good player but nobody could decide on his best position. He's also a big Leeds fan so it suited all parties apart from the fee. That story is a little slanted and rose tinted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_bristol Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Chucking piss at members of the public is exactly the sort of player I imagine fits in at Leeds. Decent on the pitch, but had to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he didn’t, no one chucked piss at members of public , and he had no active part in any of it Other than that pretty accurate 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Wasn’t it Jake Forster-Caskey or Samir Carruthers who poured the piss over the balcony? And am I right that it wasn’t over anybody either? Ayling was just there, as was Pack. But didn’t do anything wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) IMHO L.A. is a player who would fit in very well into our squad today. A player with bags of energy but lacking in technical ability. When he attacked no one knew where he was going , least of all Luke, which added to his efficiency because he was unplayable. He has done brilliantly for himself like another of his ilk , Bradley Orr. Edited November 21, 2023 by Major Isewater 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carruthers James Collins also urinated in a glass And Police confirmed that those involved were in a box low down and the urine was poured into a grass area where there were no public Ayling was guilty of being present and laughing , I assume in a slightly intoxicated state Not a great look but as I believe , one of our better players , and one who’s proved what he can do at Leeds , if he was binned for that we need our heads examining , well we needed them examining in any case for a farcical sale at a farcical fee Personally I believe Cheltenham was a smokescreen invented by some to explain the ridiculous offload when the reality is , as LJ admitted , he’d told LA that he would be struggling for game time and clearly thought he could source better , or had done with Adam Matthews Ayling is one of my favourite footballers to watch in recent years , always looking to be positive , drive forward and make things happen 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t me saying Orr was bad technically either, he was one of my favourite players ever & a real 100%er, gutted when he left us. I am really surprised you see Ayling that way. I thought he was very good on the ball & wouldn’t have lasted as long in PL if he wasn’t. Edited January 4 by Carey 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I notice he has had a pub renamed after him in Leeds. The Luke Ale Inn. True story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
