I did look this up recently & think most recent it was Joe Rodon, Gelhardt, Rothwell v Norwich in early 24/25 season. Early 90s had David Batty, Rocastle, Wetherall and Kerslake all playing occasionally…

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

One of the worst games of football I’ve ever seen. We once looked dangerous in that formation/strategy but we don’t now… couple that with long throws from both sides and precious little else it may as well have been from the dregs of the Warnock era.

Will never forget how knackered they looked at the end of a mid-season friendly* during the World Cup break. * Festa d’Elx Trophy winners, no less.

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

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

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

Feels so good to have a physical copy of this now… excited for everyone to read it. Tom has been heroic helping me get to this stage, not long to go until it’s out… really proud of the final book. #lufc

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

You won’t regret it! One of those books where if you said what happened you’d be greeted by “absolutely no chance”… and yet it all did. It’s brilliantly bonkers and so entertaining. Hope you enjoy!

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

Once you get past the author trying to tell the coach (who I’ve later learned is the Italian Warnock with a promotion record) who he should be playing… it’s brilliant isn’t it. So much to take in.

010

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

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

Today's Leeds United starting XI is the first that does not feature a single player who made a Leeds appearance under Marcelo Bielsa since 21 February 2015 against Middlesbrough. #lufc

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

2.26 points per game with Gruev in the XI, compared to 2.08 without him. Not a huge difference but definitely a slight improvement!

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

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

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

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
