Queen Victoria in front of Leeds Town Hall. Moved in 1937. I assume everyone knows where she is now? Whatever your feelings on the monarchy, it’s a fine statue which surely should have a more prominent site than it currently does…. #LeedsHistory #Leeds

Big Ray in the West Stand paddock wearing the short-lived, reduced-size blue smiley badge, c.1977. At least it’s not upside down! #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW #MOT #Leeds

Xmas gift idea for anyone who remembers 12,000 at home but still 2000 away; Jacomelli’s, the Bond and Chaplins; A mad St.Andrews Saturday ending Eddie’s young team’s promotion push. When Leeds really was grim, up north. #nineteen85 amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FY1GZBBX #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

Xmas gift idea for anyone who remembers 2001- O’Leary’s young team in Europe, the travelling Leeds army and the WYP spotters keeping an eye on them. #Spotter “Spotter isn’t just another terrific read, it’s a crowning achievement.” www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0F6... #LUFC #WACCOE #ALAW #MOT

Need an Xmas gift idea for someone who’s into swinging sixties Leeds, Mods, scooters, dance halls and pills, and Revie’s Leeds chasing the double? Look no further… #LS65 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0CH... #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #Mods #Scooters #MOT

Liverpool at home then… #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW

Saturday’s Kids…

A few tricky ones on here…Peter Maguire, Vince Brockie, Kevin Noteman, Peter Mumby. Bottom left next to Speed has got me though 🤔 #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW

That Friday feeling…the weekend begins here!

Johnny Giles scoring a penalty in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool in Nov 69 in front of the Kop on a proper 60s pitch. Good view of the scratching shed and the old ad hoardings next to the West Stand. #60sLeeds #LUFC #ALAW #Leeds #MOT

Vintage Neil Aspin wearing the RF Winder shirt and his little brother’s shorts in front of the South Stand seats. #80sLeeds #LUFC #nineteen85

Need an Xmas gift for someone who remembers 26’ flares and feather cuts; Bremner and Cruyff, Franz and Kitabdjian; Armfield’s army chasing Don’s Dream; Gelderd Aggro on the Champs-Élysées? #Paris75 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0D9... #LUFC #70sLeeds #WACCOE

Xmas gift problems? Something for a Leeds fan who still talks about Strach,Batts,Speed and Macca, a mercurial Frenchman and a windy April lunchtime in Sheffield. #LS92 “The sequel to #Bournemouth90 is simply gripping from start to finish” amazon.co.uk/dp/B09RG2CJCS #LUFC #ALAW #MOT #Leeds #books

Man City 0 Leeds 1, August 1971. The game which has subsequently prompted a lot of debate over the colour of #LUFC’s shorts…were they red? Orange? The likeliest theory is they were maroon, and borrowed from City’s away kit! #70sLeeds #ALAW #MOT #Leeds

Xmas gift problems? Something for an #80sLeeds fan who thinks 89/90 was #LUFC’s greatest ever season, and still gets flashbacks to that Dean Court dustbowl on every hot Bank Holiday. #Bournemouth90 “A Leeds cult classic” “Nostalgia at its best” amazon.co.uk/dp/B09DMTLWG7 #ALAW #MOT #Leeds

That Friday Feeling…the weekend begins here!

Nice imagery but it’s a wrong un! This is the NW corner rather than centre of the West Stand and the lettering isn’t quite the same as the original. It was the frontage used for the Damned United film and I believe the letters are now outside the Hope Inn, LS9? #LUFC #70sLeeds #Leeds #ALAW

The answer was the queue was for an FA cup 4th round tie against champions Everton in January 1964. The match was drawn 1-1 in front of 48,000, with Everton equalising from a disputed and twice taken 80th minute penalty. Leeds lost the replay 2-0 in front of 67,000 at Goodison.

A familiar sight at Elland Road in the 60s and 70s- a big queue for cup tickets. Can anyone guess the match? Clue- it’s not for a final! #LUFC #60sLeeds #LS65 #Leeds #ALAW

It was a tricky one this as it’s changed so much, took me a while to work it out but the faint Imperial Hotel sign on the tower on the right is the clue. Photo was taken on Briggate from near Whitelocks, looking down towards Boar Lane. #LeedsHistory

Looking busy in town this lunchtime! The bobbies seem to be keeping an eye on the lads with the hats and sticks mobbing up outside the tea dealers, the road is blocked with stage coaches and someones dog’s escaped. Anyone recognise where in Leeds it is? #LeedsHistory #Leeds

‘He taps his programme on the back of the empty seat in front. Neil Aspin on the cover looking surprised. Surprised he’s playing for Leeds United most likely.’ #nineteen85 amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FY1GZBBX #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #MOT #Leeds

That Friday feeling…the weekend begins here!

Never seen this before- the famous photo of John Charles and a gang of schoolboys at the gate of his in-laws house in Middleton Park Grove, revisited 50 years later… #LUFC #50sLeeds #ALAW #MOT #Leeds

Looks like a straw-on-the-pitch sort of night tonight… #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #LS65 #MOT

First review of #nineteen85 on Amazon. This lad has missed his true vocation- he should be writing book reviews for a living! 👏🏻 amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FY1GZBBX #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #MOT #Books

Leeds weren’t great in the mid 80s but at least we were a handful at corners. Big George, Bairdy and Linighan prepare to gatecrash the Boro goal in October 85. #nineteen85 #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

Heavy night at Nouveau boys? Or maybe Sniffer and Jack overdid it at the Woodman doms night before this early morning photo-call in their new tracksuits? #LUFC #70sLeeds #MOT #Leeds

Leeds United Fan Forum from 1978- Gill Hall aiming to be the Bramley Pam Ayers, David Allen trying to cadge a lift and Kevin Burrows with his new kit idea. Wonder if Derek continued to travel from the Wirral after relegation? #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

Good luck to Wales for their game today…. #LUFC #Wales #70sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

Meet Harty. Likes Carlos Santana, Reading (assume books not the town) and MASH (the TV show not the potato dish?) Dislikes gardening and hooliganism (bet he wasn’t happy about Ferdinand, Wise and the Blue Peter garden!) Ambitions look a bit optimistic for late #70sLeeds! #LUFC #ALAW #MOT

Someone on twitter found a photo of the 1968 Rangers ‘giant screens’. Hopefully will bring back some memories for those who were there… #LUFC #60sLeeds

1968- wonder if this was the first ever ‘beam-back game’ at Elland Road? Assume the ‘giant screens’ were on the pitch…did anyone go to it? #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

The King’s return? I’m guessing this is a late 50s visit from John Charles after he’d gone to Italy. Leeds players are, I think, Grenville Hair, Gerry Francis, Big Jack, ??, Archie Gibson?, Chris Crowe, George Meek. Not sure who the other bloke in the suit is? #LUFC #50sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

Iconic mid-80s Elland Road shot - Baird, WGK shirt and permed long-back, scoring against top of the table Oxford in April 85 in front of the Kop and nearly empty Lowfields seats. All that’s missing is the copper stood on the grass bank! #nineteen85 #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

I’ll be impressed if anyone can name this game…even more impressed if anyone was there! Clues- Leeds team included Lukic in goal, Connor, Barnes, Sabella and Graham upfront and I think it was Brian Greenhoff who gave the penalty away… #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

Saturday night in the early 70s you’d most likely find the #LUFC stars at Club Nouveau on East Parade or at Cinderellas Rockerfellas, Merrion Way. Looking at the girl’s expression maybe Sniffer and Mick the Mover were nicknames earned on the dance floor not the pitch?! #70sLeeds #Leeds #ALAW #MOT

Anything on telly tonight? Saturday night viewing back in the days when we had 4 channels, no Sky, Netflix, YouTube or chipped fire sticks! #nineteen85

Remember 1985? When it really was grim up north, and especially in Leeds 11… The new book by Billy Morris, out now. #nineteen85 amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FY1GZBBX #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

‘We’ll have new stars, you’ll see. Young Wright there and Sellars. They’ll get us back up where we belong.’ #nineteen85 Tommy and Scott, Shez and Irwin. The writing was on the wall for Eddie and his very young team when we missed out on promotion in 85. #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

That Friday Feeling…the weekend begins here!

You’ll never see a photo like this nowadays- an unsegregated end, an away player celebrating a goal, a few fans celebrating, no abuse from the rest and no iPhones being brandished. Pretty sure it’s at QPR 1974. #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds #MOT

Neil Aspin instructs a young Roger Eli on how to do the #LUFC pre-match centre circle wave on his debut in the 5-2 win over Wimbledon in December 1984. I’m surprised we were still doing it then. Anyone remember when it stopped? #nineteen85 #80sLeeds #MOT #ALAW #Leeds

Bonfire night in Blandford Gardens, Woodhouse, LS2 in the days before Health and Safety and Public Liability insurance when you just burnt your ‘chumps’ at the end of the street! #70sLeeds #LeedsHistory #Leeds

Holbeck Moor bonfire 1923…why was it in July not November?? Read about it below…I’d love to have seen the blaze which was fuelled by 100 pianos!! 😳 southleedslife.com/the-annual-h... #LeedsHistory #Leeds #Holbeck

Phil Hughes in a rare appearance in goal for Leeds in 84/85. He played 4 times that season including a 1-1 draw with Man City in front of a bumper bank holiday crowd of 22,000! (The following week we beat Notts County 5-0 with 11,000 there) #nineteen85 #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds

New Year’s Day 1978 and a big question on the cover of Shoot with Lash, Big Ray and Byron…the answer at that point was unfortunately - NO! #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW #MOT #Leeds

NEW BOOK! It’s 1985 and it’s definitely grim up north, but adversity represents opportunity for 3 men. The politician, the tabloid reporter, and the crime boss who wants to buy Leeds United. #nineteen85 by Billy Morris. Out Now. amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FY1GZBBX #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #MOT #Leeds

Someone posted this on Facebook about Elland Road in the late 60s. Anyone remember Sammy, King of the Kop and these chants? Can’t see these being resurrected somehow… #LUFC #60sLeeds #LS65 #MOT #Leeds

Forty years ago. Feels like a lifetime. #nineteen85… new book by Billy Morris, out now. amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FY1GZBBX #LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #MOT
