COMMITTEE

President Eddie Gray		Eddie "The Last Waltz" Gray was one of the greatest left wingers of his time. He made his Leeds debut at the age of 17 on New Years Day 1966 and went on to make 561 appearances, scoring 68 goals in a career spanning 20 years, during which time he played 12 times for Scotland and was never booked throughout his entire career. Eddie also managed the club on two separate occasions and was a coach to the Youth Team that produced the likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Harry Kewell and Stephen McPhail. Eddie now works for Yorkshire Radio as a match summariser on all Leeds United matches and, together with his wife Linda, attends all major L.U.D.O. social events in his role as President. When the L.U.D.O. lounge moved to it's present location in the North West corner, it was named the Eddie Gray Suite.

Vice President Martin Melbardis		Hi, I'm Martin and I first got involved with L.U.D.O. as a founder member of the organisation when we were trying to get improved facilities for supporters with disabilities and their helpers/carers. I was L.U.D.O. secretary for the first 5 years and it was at the time that we started building up a good relationship with the administration management team at Leeds United. Gradually after a lot of hard work things started to improve facility wise and the relationship with Leeds United in my view has strengthened over the years. I have been honorary Vice President for a while now and am a proud supporter of Leeds United and L.U.D.O.



Chair person Stuart Ramm		Hi, I'm Stuart Ramm and I started coming to Elland Road in 1964 and from 1985 as a disabled fan. I formed L.U.D.O. in 1992 and held the position of chairperson for the first 5 years. Nicky Chapman held the position of chairperson until she passed away in 2009. I am married with 2 children, my eldest comes with me to the games. I am now in the chairpersons chair again.

Treasurer Liz Colley

Secretary / Membership Administrator Diane Forth		Hi, I'm Diane Forth and I have been on the committee since 2001, firstly as Membership Administrator and from season 08/09 I have been Secretary and Membership Administrator. I have been a Leeds fan for over 50 years and after moving back to Yorkshire with my late husband Richard in 1998 we attended matches both home and away. I now only manage to attend the home games. On a match day I can be found in the Eddie Gray Suite (L.U.D.O. Lounge) if anyone requires any forms or information about L.U.D.O. I do give a lot of my time to L.U.D.O. as well as looking after my 3 naughty Yorkshire Terriers.

Vice Chair / Assistant Secretary Julie Hemingway		Hi, I'm Julie and I have been Vice Chair and Assistant Secretary since 2005. I was previously the secretary from 2000-2005. There's never a dull moment on the committee and as well as working hard for L.U.D.O. members, we have good fun too. I'm Leeds through and through - born in the city, but now live on the outskirts with my husband and Pepe the cat (formerly the pride and joy of our late Chairperson Nicky). My husband comes to the matches with me, but luckily he's been a fan for about as long as I have now which is 40 years!

Committee Alan Colley		Hi, I'm Alan Colley. I am the general of L.U.D.O. "general dogs body" that is, due to all the running about collecting mail, printing stuff, doing odd jobs for everyone but my own (who said running). I have two children, both Leeds fans along with my long suffering wife, too long some may say, but she puts up with me so she's not too bad. Suzanne my eldest is doing the website. My son Mark is a keen supporter of the club also.

Website Administrator Suzanne Colley		Hi. my name is Suzanne and I'm the new web site administrator. Since an early age I was dragged to Elland Road with my brother. But as I'm sure you're all too familiar, once you've been coming to Elland Road for a while you get hooked. As an adult I haven't been able to stop coming. Thanks Mum and Dad. I am also going to be the person picking up your emails about anything you wish to discuss. So if you have anything to say then I would be delighted to try help or assist you. So I look forward to hearing from you.
