From Ashley to Laws and O'Driscoll on to York City, the season is as simple as ABC

A IS FOR...

Ashley Cole: Just a few days after the affair between John Terry and Wayne Bridge's ex had been revealed, Chelsea visited Hull and the home fans regaled the visiting left-back with a chant of 'Ashley, Ashley, watch your wife' when he came off the bench late on.

B IS FOR...

Boring: Anyone unfortunate enough to watch Bradford City draw 0-0 with Grimsby Town in February will not have taken long to forget all about a truly wretched game.

C IS FOR...

Celebration: Jimmy Bullard may have had a season to forget but his re-enactment of Phil Brown's half-time lecture on the pitch at Manchester City was a moment to savour.

D IS FOR...

Decibel levels: Cranked up so high at The Den as Huddersfield lost in the play-offs that it was impossible to hear what was being said just one seat away.

E IS FOR...

English: Rotherham referee Howard Webb ensured English football was represented at the Champions League final.

F IS FOR...

Filey: Simon Grayson's tongue-in-cheek suggestion as to where Ken Bates would send the Leeds squad as reward for winning promotion. In the end, they went to Dubai.

G IS FOR...

Gardening leave: Phil Brown's garden must be in terrific condition after two months spent tending the roses while still being paid by the Tigers.

H IS FOR...

Hero: Jermaine Beckford finally delivered on the big occasion for Leeds with his goals against Bristol Rovers, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur meaning he left Elland Road this summer as a hero.

I IS FOR...

Injuries: Every club suffers from them but Sheffield United's training ground started to resemble an episode of Holby City in the autumn.

J IS FOR...

Jinxed: Or so it seemed in a season where this correspondent reported on just 12 wins for Yorkshire clubs in more than 60 league games. And one of those was in a White Rose derby.

K IS FOR...

Kandol: Tresor managed to get himself sent off twice for Leeds within seconds of coming off the bench. Quite a feat.

L IS FOR...

Laws: A bad season for Brian who claimed an unwanted 'double' as both Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley went down.

M IS FOR...

Moving: The 25th anniversary of the Bradford fire was marked with an emotional service in Centenary Square on May 11

N IS FOR...

Nerve-jangling: Leeds put their fans through the emotional wringer with a spectacular second-half collapse that almost cost the club automatic promotion.

O IS FOR...

O'Driscoll: Sean's reputation continues to blossom with the Doncaster Rovers board deserving huge credit for fending off Premier League Burnley in January.

P IS FOR...

Pointless: The PA announcer's warning that 'anyone coming on to the field will be banned next season' as 20,000 fans invaded the pitch to celebrate promotion at Elland Road.

Q IS FOR...

Quit: Mark Robins's decision to resign as Rotherham United manager to take charge of Barnsley paved the way for Ronnie Moore to return to south Yorkshire.

R IS FOR...

Relegation: Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday both endured campaigns to forget and will kick off in August a division lower. For Hull it will mean a return to the Championship after two seasons in the top flight, while the Owls face the likes of Dagenham & Redbridge in League One.

S IS FOR...

Shameless: Max Gradel choosing to lead the post-match singing after Leeds had clinched promotion against Bristol Rovers despite his petulant first-half dismissal on the final day coming close to costing United dear. Left with only 10 men and a goal down, it took a huge effort to finally get up.

T IS FOR...

Twitter: The social networking site where Hull striker Jozy Altidore chose to reveal his innermost thoughts. Or as Phil Brown put it in the autumn 'Twitter? I'd put an 'a' in it!'

U IS FOR...

Unlucky: Barnsley were certainly left cursing their misfortune when their game at Plymouth was abandoned in November with the Tykes 4-1 ahead. The rearranged fixture finished goalless.

V IS FOR...

Vennegoor of Hesselink: Paul Duffen promised Hull fans "a big name signing" and, technically, he delivered just that by signing Jan on a free.

W IS FOR...

Welsh: When asked by a London-based reporter if he was expecting a call-up from Fabio Capello, Wales international Boaz Myhill showed great restraint in replying 'not with my Welsh heritage, mate'.

X IS FOR...

X-rated: George Boateng's challenge on Bakari Sagna at the KC Stadium in March was shocking and deserving of much stiffer punishment than a second yellow card.

Y IS FOR...

York City: The Minstermen suffered heartache at Wembley when Oxford clinched their own return to the Football League in an absorbing play-off final.

Z IS FOR...

Zero: As in the number of Yorkshire representatives in next season's top flight, the first time the county has drawn a blank since 1983-84.
