The club's story on and off the pitch reads like a film script for a generation of Leeds United fans who remember the Whites falling through the trapdoor back in the spring of 2004. And it is a journey which has certainly has not been a boring one up right up to Marcelo Biesla leading the Whites back to the promised land. Fans have endured the best of times and the worst of times a merry-go-round of managers, relegation to the third tier of football, promotion back to the Championship, -15 points, FA Cup glory at Old Trafford.
