Leeds cult hero Ian Baird has fond memories of Elland Road

Leeds United cult hero Ian Baird has fond memories of Elland Road but the brains behind Sutton’s FA Cup run only has eyes for another giantkilling From Billy Bremner’s storytelling to Howard Wilkinson’s alcohol ban and the unusual pre-match rituals of Gordon Strachan, former Leeds United striker and Elland Road cult hero Ian Baird is steeped in the traditions of one of English football’s great clubs. Yet in a strange twist of fate that seems to be the preserve of the FA Cup, he will be hopping around the technical area at Gander Green Lane on Sunday trying to urge non-League Sutton United to cause a major fourth-round upset against his beloved former side.
