Duberry ignores boos and tells Leeds fans some home truths - David Hopps

Copy from Football Unlimited of 27/03/2006.

Michael Duberry deserved this moment. All the bile, boos and twisted morality he has endured from a despicable minority of Leeds United supporters could not have been answered more emphatically as he masterminded the Stoke City resistance that dented Leeds' chances of automatic promotion to the Premiership.
