YEP salute for sisters who know all there is to know about the agony and ecstasy of life as a Leeds United fan

Sisters and devoted Leeds United fans Diana Roberts and Carolyn Pratt, from Guiseley, have seen footballing drama galore since they first started going to matches at Elland Road in the mid-1960s.

They have enjoyed plenty of highs, from the League Cup final triumph over Arsenal at Wembley in 1968 to Leeds's famous win against Manchester United in the FA Cup in 2010.

Sadly, they have also had to endure more than a few lows, including the shattering showpiece final losses to Sunderland and Bayern Munich in 1973 and 1975 respectively.

Now United's agonising play-off semi-final defeat at the hands of Derby County has written another unwanted chapter in their Whites watching story.

But today, as the sisters became the latest supporters to feature in the Yorkshire Evening Post's Marching on Together series, Diana and Carolyn made it clear that they – like tens of thousands of their fellow fans – would be staying with Leeds until the world stops going round.

Diana, 76, told the YEP: "We've had a lot of disappointments over the years – we've lost so many blooming semi-finals, like against Chelsea at Villa Park [in the FA Cup in 1967] when we scored a beautiful goal and it was disallowed.
