Ghost Of Ridsdale Still Haunts Leeds

Last updated : 19 September 2003 By Kevin Markey
Ridsdale, who is now the owner of near neighbours Barnsley, told the Yorkshire Post: “I am keeping my shares in Leeds United because I believe in the future of the club.

“I have been a Leeds supporter all of my life and I see no reason why that should change now. It is all above board. I checked with both the Football League and Football Association and they informed me that I would not be breaking any laws in keeping them.”

The newspaper states that Ridsdale spent about £300k buying around three million shares.
