Meet TSBโ€™s new columnist, Gaetano Berardi himself. This season Bera is taking time out from studying for his coaching qualifications to talk us through his memories of playing for Leeds, and in this issue, what makes a strong team โ€” strong characters.

When we lost a few games in the promotion season under Marcelo Bielsa it was difficult. Especially the one at Forest. But Marcelo kept going the same way, so we understood we had to keep going too. We also had a team of players with strong characters, so we faced that moment well, understanding the importance of that season.
