Three football legends…taken at Anfield when Leeds had clinched the title in 1969. Shankly called into the dressing room to congratulate his good friend Revie, Billy, Jack and the team. #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

I come across old #LUFC pictures in all sorts of places and sometimes you find one you’ve never seen before and think…What the hell is going on there? Here’s one of those…🤔 (It’s not the bloke who became Archbishop of York is it?) #80sLeeds #LS92 #Bournemouth90 #MOT

Champions Leeds v Sampodoria in the 1992 Makita tournament. Hard to believe that 2 of this team are no longer around. Note the East stand builders getting a bit of strategic matchday overtime in! #LUFC #ALAW #LS92

‘He followed the ‘621 past Elland Road, the giant floodlights rising from the grey mist of south Leeds. Leeds are 2nd division now, but they’re letting the world know that they still matter, they aren’t going anywhere.’ #nineteen85 amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FY1GZBBX #LUFC #ALAW #MOT

Wonder if Forest will have Super Leeds on their programme cover for the first game like they did in 1969/70. A repeat of the score will do nicely as we won 4-1 that day! #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

I’m confused by this ticket from the 1-0 win over Sheff Utd in 1972. Where were the seats in the West Stand behind a floodlight pylon? If I remember right, both the floodlights on that side were set back behind the stand? #LUFC #70sLeeds #MOT #ALAW

Last time Leeds played in the USA…a 1-1 draw with a DC United team including a young Jesse Marsch in the line up. Clearly the commentator only knew a couple of our players and unsurprisingly scorer Derek Lilley wasn’t one of them! #LUFC #90sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

“We were 8th at the start of April lads. Then we went on a run. 6 wins in a row. We scored 20 goals. Me? Just 9 of them. We only needed a draw at Hull but we won 4-1. And that’s how we got promoted in ‘56” #456Book amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H4G7MTYF #LUFC #50sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

Sunday night tune…Rip it up, Bill Haley. Hard to believe now but in 1956,this was the equivalent of the Sex Pistols in 76. A call to arms for the first ever ‘teenagers’.Cut-throat razors ripping up cinema seats and dancing in the aisles shocking the country. #456Book #50sLeeds #LUFC #ALAW

Return of the prodigal son- King John pops in to see his old team mates. Thought I’d got the game based on Francis and Meek both playing (rare), Hair, Charlton, Cush, Gibson, Crowe. Must be Spurs, Boxing Day 1959?..but JC played for Juve in Rome the day after. Private Jet maybe? #456Book #LUFC #MOT

Leeds players prepare for the big promotion decider against Bristol Rovers 21/4/56- Bristol 2nd, Leeds 3rd with a game in hand. A win would make Leeds favourites for the 2nd promotion place and 50,000 were expected at Elland Road. #456Book www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H4G7MTYF #LUFC #50sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

Charles United was the name the press gave #LUFC’s 1956 promotion winning team. King John scored 29 goals that season even though he only played as striker from the end of October. He was just too good for division 2! #456Book amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H4G7MTYF #LUFC #50sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

You can almost smell that training gear! Great memories for any kids who used to stand on that banking with their fingers through the wire fence watching the team training on Fullerton Park, then get the autographs even if you already had them all 10 times! #LUFC #70sLeeds #MOT #ALAW

A Leeds very young team in (I’m guessing) about 1983. Some tough ones on here. Think I know most of them, not 100% sure of the lad between Scales and Aspin on the back row (Darrel Rose?), and no idea on the one between Wright and Phelan at the front. #LUFC #80sLeeds #nineteen85 #ALAW

West Ham 0 Leeds 1 Oct 1989. Think it was the first time we’d played them since we got relegated, and a typical Wilko team display which pissed the London press off. Looks like we had the whole end behind the goal but I’m sure I was down the side? #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

A few surprises on here…Burns, Aspin and Haddock to name three. All ‘triers’ so obviously popular with the fans during the dark days but I didn’t remember any of them winning POTY. Also, that Billy never won in the 70s! #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #MOT
