Ian Moore's Pre-Leeds Thoughts
By Liam McMullen
December 5 2008
Rovers striker and former Leeds United player Ian Moore today gave his thoughts ahead of the visit of Gary McAllister's men to Prenton Park tomorrow afternoon in Coca-Cola League One as Rovers seek some revenge for Leed's somewhat fortunate win at Prenton Park last season.
Tranmere Rovers forward Ian Moore today insisted that he thinks his former club will be in with a shout for promotion by the end of the campaign ahead of Leeds United's visit to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.
Moore, who was a fans favourite at Elland Road, left the club for Hartlepool United before returning to his hometown club Tranmere in January 2008.
Moore ironically scored on his debut for Tranmere against Leeds at Elland Road where Rovers won 2-0 but admits he regrets over-celebrating.
Moore who has been arguably one of the most consistent performers this season for Rovers told BBC Radio Merseyside:
"It's a good set-up and they'll be in the shake-up at the end of the season."
"It was a superb debut for me, I couldn't have asked for a bigger game and I was delighted to get a goal."
"I think I need to apologise a little bit to the Leeds fans for overdoing my celebrations."
"It was a debut goal for me at the club I started my career with and sometimes you do get a bit carried away when you score."
I still think he will get booed this time around though!
Always worked hard, never stopped running, he was and is a bit of a cult hero at Leeds.
Shame other footballers in higher leagues don't have his professionalism and outlook.
Good bloke.
Yep - he was sh*te for us but always gave 100% - had some of the better players in the team given the same effort, we wouldn't now be in the 3rd tier.
