If you're heading out for your Christmas party in Leeds in the coming days, you might spot some beer mats advising you to be careful around the city's river.

The Royal Life Saving Society, West Yorkshire Police and the Canal River Trust have teamed up to run a campaign called “Don’t Drink and Drown”..

The campaign will see banners being placed along the riverside in Leeds, posters in local pub bathrooms and beer mats in most bars, highlighting the dangers of being drunk near open water.

A number of people have got into difficulties in the region's rivers in the last five years, nationally 20% of accidental adult drowning victims had alcohol in their blood stream.

The ticket's part of an exhibition called Decades of Youth, external which is basically 70 years of memories and nostalgia. 

This ticket was donated to the collection in 2004 - more than that is a mystery.

The game itself ended 1-1, with Hasselbaink scoring for Leeds in front of a home crowd of more than 40,000.

And, after a bit of a delve in the archives, here are pictures of the match itself.

I swear 1999 didn't look this old when I was there:

Then, along with the boss of local company Empire Tapes, they then took all of the toys along to the children's ward at Pinderfields Hospital so that they have something for Christmas day.

Good work fellas!
