Summary
To mark the 10 year anniversary of the passing of Gary Speed we thought we should do something big, befitting Gary's stature within the game. So Dan and Michael from the podcast are leading a crack team of Leeds United fans on a 92 mile odyssey from North Wales, where Gary Speed grew up, back to Leeds - all to raise money for Andy's Man Club and the Samaritans.
We need to work out some of the logistics, so full details of the trek will follow. Have a listen to this short show to get all we have so far and follow the episode link to register your interest.
