Watching Tottenham Play Aston Villa With Mark


I visited my friend Mark, who works for the University of Denver's Anderson Academic Commons (the library), yesterday afternoon to watch Tottenham play a soccer game against Aston Villa, in Birmingham, England. Tottenham won the game 2-0. However, even though Mark is a member of the Colorado Spurs, the local Tottenham fan club, his heart seems to be with the Leeds soccer team, and can be seen in the above photograph wearing a Leeds jersey from the distant past. Mark has lots of friends in Leeds, and has visited there a number of times. Leeds, by the way, was named as one of the top ten places to visit in the world by Lonely Planet Magazine a few years  ago. The following year, the print edition went out of business. Was this the result of angry travelers canceling their subscriptions after returning home from a dream vacation in Leeds? I have no doubt.
