Mark is a huge Leeds fan and has had a season ticket for more than 12 years. From watching Hockaday and Milanic, to getting to see Bielsa on his bucket he believes it would be hard to make things much better at Elland Road. From that famous day at Old Trafford to a freezing outing to Stockport, there isn't much he hasn't seen - except the Premier League, something he predicts will change next season.
