Anyone got a worse Leeds-related story than this?

[Yorkie]

When I was 15 I was in a cafe in Shoreham waiting for the youth club to open at 7pm. An old lady came in, ordered a cup of tea and sat at my table. I was the only other one in the cafe apart from the owner.
She just said, 'Oh, I do feel tired.' She then just slumped in her chair. I knew she had gone and told the owner to ring for an ambulance. They were very quick and tried to revive her.
I rang Southlands (back in the 60's they still took emergencies there) and asked about her, and they told me she was dead on arrival. I suppose it was strange that I didn't get asked to attend a coroner's inquest but maybe they thought I was too young.
I went home as I didn't feel like going to youth club after that.

Since then, I've been with several close relatives (including my Dad) as they've died but they have been expected deaths (cancer).

But you yourself have just posted to say how the death of 4 human beings was the best news you've had in ages.

The post from Wozza was directed at me and if those 4 ice pick murderers death something to be pleased about, for me yes

 

[The Auditor]

I'm not sure if I've come across any dead people in my line of work. It's difficult to tell if an accountant is alive or dead and the normal tell-tale signs of an awful smell emanating from the body is actually a positive career move within auditing.

The one thing I can definitely say is that if you do come across an accountant in a professional capacity DO NOT try to revive them.

If the person appears dead it is possible that they are an actuary, apparently the career favoured by people who find accounting far too exciting.

 

[The Oldman]

Unfortunately my Mum dropped dead in the Coop up by the Hove dog track a few years ago. Always felt it was wrong that she died just out shopping.

RIP trolley lady.

On a more serious note I do.

Day of Hillsborough we were playing Leeds at Elland Road. Half time announcement comes on the tannoy been a disaster at Hillsborough it appears that there are about 50 Liverpool fans dead due to being crushed at the ground.

Cue the Leeds "kop" end cheering and chanting "we hate scousers and we hate scousers"...

Obviously throughout the game the death toll rises and each time a massive cheer and the same chants.

Utter, utter ****s.

I was sat at home working on an assignment for college, when the news came through on the radio, one of my house-mates came in and told me that it was going out live on the TV...harrowing, harrowing scenes...we are used to seeing death and destruction piped live into our homes today but back then it was a rare occurrence, which probably helped to cement it in my memory.

What also sticks in my mind were the reactions of the fans of their opponents, who were also in shock, yet applauding the efforts of the emergency services to treat the injured. How anyone could derive any pleasure from that type of event, and senseless loss of life, just defies belief.
