James Trafford will be the first Leeds United player who shares his surname with a place in Manchester since Tyler Denton in 2017. Others include Bert Worsley, Frank and Nigel Worthington and Tom Lees. Won't hold it against him. #lufc

Tarik Muharemović has the longest surname in Leeds United's history that alternates each letter between a consonant and a vowel. He has beaten previous record holders Zan Benedicic and Danny Milosevic. #lufc

Leeds United played exactly 1,919 league matches between our last two league wins at Old Trafford in February 1981 and tonight. A fairly significant number in our history! #lufc

Had a lot of fun writing this - some of the more obscure facts around James Milner's Premier League career as he looks to equal the appearance record this weekend. A man whose debut is closer to the 1970s than it is today. A proper legend.

With Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor on the scoresheet for the first time, this is the first time in Leeds United's history three players have all scored their first goals for the club in the same game. #lufc

Gabriel Gudmundsson has scored just the second 90th minute own goal in a 1-0 game in Premier League history, and the first for thirty years. #lufc

Leeds have made 23 changes to their starting lineups so far this season - the joint most after five matches (in all competitions) in a season in the club's history. #lufc

Two weeks to go until release date... all the stats on last season's title win, the Bielsa era, why Don Revie's Leeds were the best side in England & Europe... and the only player whose name you can spell without using the top row of a QWERTY keyboard. #lufc www.amazon.co.uk/As-Leeds-Go-... #lufc

Every time I re-read this book I forget how utterly bonkers it is… and remain amazed it’s not been made into a documentary. Brilliant book & still my all time favourite. Even once recommended it to former Leeds full back Paul Connolly in Tesco.

The first Leeds United player to score a league goal after Jaka Bijol was born in February 1999 was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who is also the most recent player to play for Leeds who has all the letters of 'Bijol' in his name. Welcome Jaka. #lufc

Archie Gray tonight was the youngest Englishman to end on the winning side in a European final since an 18-year-old Gary Mills in the 1980 European Cup final. Playing alongside Mills that day? Gray's grandad, Frank Gray. #lufc

Josuha Guilavogui leaves Leeds United with the club record for most league games played without losing (16), the best league win percentage (87.5%) and the most league games played at Elland Road with a 100% win ratio (9/9). Lovely man. #lufc

Largie Ramazani against Bristol City last night is the first time ever a Leeds United player has been substituted on in the final 10 minutes of a league game and scored two goals. #lufc

Ethan Ampadu completed 157 passes last night, the third-most by a player in a Championship game Opta has on record since 2013-14. Leeds completed 776 passes in total, their most in a league game in that time. Domination. #lufc

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Leeds United have scored 15 goals in the opening 10 minutes of Championship matches this season, an all-time Championship seasonal record - the previous most was 14 by Leeds last season. Another early one tonight please. #lufc

In April so far, Joe Rodon has contested 35 duels in the Championship and won 31, the best ratio of any player in the division with 5+ duels this month (89%). An absolute colossus. #lufc

Jayden Bogle carried the ball 366 metres in yesterday's game, the most by a Leeds full-back in a game since Luke Ayling vs Everton back in August 2021 (401m). Great energy to move us up the pitch. Superb performance. #lufc

Daniel James tonight under Daniel Farke became the third player in Leeds United's history to score 25 goals for a manager they share the same first name with, along with Frank Dudley (27 goals under Frank Buckley) and Don Weston (26 goals under Don Revie). #lufc

In the Championship this season, Largie Ramazani has had the most shots per 90 mins of any player (3.9), the joint most shots on target per 90 mins (1.6) and has the third best open play xG per 90 mins (0.43). Goal or assist every 123 mins. Give the man a go. #lufc

Saturday's game with Luton Town will be just the third time ever #lufc go into a league match as many as 43 points ahead of their opponents. Previously... W 3-1 vs Watford (May 2000, 44 pts ahead) L 2-3 vs Ipswich (May 2019, 55 pts ahead)

Karl Darlow coming in for his second league start, 1 year and 97 days after his first, the second biggest gap for a goalkeeper's first two league starts in Leeds United's history (Bailey Peacock-Farrell, 1 year and 336 days). Please keep a clean sheet Karl. #lufc
