Leeds United Ups & Downs
Football in the city of Leeds began in the 19thcentury but a professional club was not formed until August 1904 when a resolution to form Leeds City was passed. Following City’s demise in 1920 due to allegations of illegal payments to players, Leeds United surfaced from the ashes, winning seven major honours including the Division 1 crown in 1969 and FA Cup in 1972. This book contains comprehensive statistics of each season telling the story of Leeds City and Leeds United over 100 years of championship triumphs, promotion, relegation and cup battles during a century of drama, mishap and adventure. The nostalgia is unrelenting as the deeds of Billy McLeod, Ernie Hart, Willis Edwards, John Charles, Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton, Peter Lorimer, Gordon Strachan, Lucas Radebe and Gary Kelly under managers Herbert Chapman, Arthur Fairclough, Don Revie and Howard Wilkinson created club folklore.
