In our final part looking back on the 25th anniversary of the murders of Kevin Speight and Chris Loftus, a burning sense of injustice still rages on.

It is no consolation whatsoever that Leeds were beaten by the 2000 Uefa Cup winners, as well as events and reaction in Turkey leaving a sour taste.

Even a quarter of a century on there remains an overwhelming sense of injustice harboured by Leeds fans on behalf of Kevin Speight and Chris Loftus.

Two years after the murders, Ali Umit Demir was convicted of the killings and sentenced to 15 years in prison. But he had lots of sympathy with some calling him a "patriot" and others alleging he was provoked by drunken Leeds fans urinating on a Turkish flag and pretending to wipe their backsides on it.

Demir was eventually released on appeal in 2005. Four other men were convicted and received sentences ranging from 10 years, 6 years and 8 months.

Leeds found themselves back in Istanbul six months later, drawing Besiktas in our one and only Champions League season. It all passed off uneventfully, a 0-0 draw and the 500 travelling fans were "treated" to a cruise on the Bosphorus with no alcohol on board prior to the game and swiftly flown home after the final whistle.

Unfortunately chants from rival fans about the killings are now embraced by the term "tragedy chanting", the latest person to be convicted was a Millwall fan who wasn't even born when the two men were murdered.

Fortunately and owing largely to our implosion, we haven't crossed paths with Galatasary, nor have we ever signed a Turkish player. However Harry Kewell is notable for signing for them as a free agent in 2008. To be fair Kewell had long since burned his bridges with Leeds by using an unregistered agent five years earlier to move to Liverpool in a cut price deal, however this move which he said hoped would provide healing really stuck in the craw.

Another Galatasary player Wesley Sneijder was forced to apologise after tweeting to promote a set of kitchen knives he endorsed, which coincided with the 15th anniversary of the murders.

When cult hero Gianni Alioski was pondering his post Leeds career, Galatasary was muted as a potential destination and horrified fans pretty much begged him not to consider going there. Fortunately he read the room and moved to the Saudi League but he did have a brief spell on loan to Fenerbache.

It was undoubtedly the darkest days in the history of our club. We will never forget either of them.
