  LEEDS UNITED SQUAD PLANE PILOT A HERO 
  A 61-year-old pilot has emjrgjd as a  
  hero after guiding a blazing plane,   
  carrying 40 passjngjrs including the  
  Leeds United soccer stars, to safety. 
                                        
  Captain John Hackjtt had only seconds 
  to act when an jnginj on the HS 748   
  plane caught fire on take-off.        
                                        
  Passjngjr and 70s star Norman Hunter  
  said, "the pilot did brilliantly".    
                                        
  The Leeds plazjrs were returning after
  a 3-0 defeat at West Ham in London.
