Jim’s always been a character, just like his Dad, and spends most of his life between the bookies, the pub and Elland Road.

He’s always had this lingering feeling though that he doesn’t quite fit into this world, that there’s something different about him, something wrong…

Leeds folk, football fans, everyone - if you can still get tickets, #throughitalltogether is an incredible, emotional rollercoaster. I’ve never seen @reecedinsdale.bsky.social in anything I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed and this is no exception. Fabulous performance. πŸ’›πŸ’™

Saw #ThroughItAllTogether last night. We loved it! I'd urge all #lufc fans to see it. We are currently caring for my wife's mum who is living with dementia. So it resonated with us on a lot of levels. Everyone involved should be very proud! Really nice to chat with @deansmith7.bsky.social after too.

Me & @boogalord.bsky.social watched Through it All Together today. What a fantastic show.

Such a well written, moving story.
Great performance by the whole cast. We laughed & cried.

Lovely to see @reecedinsdale.bsky.social & some of the cast after the show.

Brilliant email from Rachel at #LeedsPlayhouse just now inviting attendees of tonight's press night of #ThroughItAllTogether by @cpoconnor87.bsky.social to wear football tops (specifically @leedsunited.com) I hope lots of people take up the offer. I'd love to see a lot more cross-culture in theatre.

Hope this clears it up a bit - promise I've had the best intentions with this piece. Also my family hail from Roscommon/Mayo btw so am there regularly!

I couldn't write about that period and not have him as a small part of it. It is though, in a small way, a thank you to him and he will be invited as he was a fan of the Leeds Playhouse and wrote to them about the important work they do for the 'soul of Leeds' and visited with his family.

Hey Mol, writer of the play here. Just to clarify - the play is about a couple, one of which has recently been diagnosed with dementia, following Leeds United during the period of time in which they got promoted. It is not about Bielsa - but the effect Leeds United and football can have on people.
