This Really Is A Fantastic Club - Freedman

Last updated : 07 April 2008 By Kevin Markey
The 34-year-old, who is hoping to stay with Leeds until the end of the season even though Crystal Palace can now recall the striker at 24-hours notice due to the first month of the loan deal having elapsed, said: "This really is a fantastic club.

"I knew it was big from the outside, but it was only when I got here that it hit home just how huge it is.

"Everywhere we go, there are huge numbers of fans and the expectations are high. It was the sort of challenge I needed and coming here is proving to be the right decision.

"I truly believe it is only a matter of time before this club gets back up. It is none of my business why the club is here, but I am here to create my own bit of history by helping Leeds get promotion."
