A different world. Leeds v Palace, November 1985. Attendance 10,378. 6 months after St.Andrews, it really was grim in South Leeds. But for those in our late teens/early 20s it was character building and bond forming. Shit football but some great times. #LUFC #80sLeeds #nineteen85

90 miles an hour…Just seen this on Facebook, Ipswich v Leeds 1976 and Roger Osborne gets twatted in the face by a Lorimer thunderbolt. Lying unconscious when we scored straight after but refs didn’t stop for a little bang on the head back then! #LUFC #70sLeeds #MOT

Rare footage of John Charles singing Sixteen Tons. Best footballer in the world, great voice, sharp dresser, good looking…real superstar quality. Just imagine how much he would be worth nowadays. #LUFC #LeedsUnited #MOT #Cymru #TogetherStronger #Juventus #Juve

If you thought World Cup post-match pundit banter was a recent development, think again! Crerand, Dougan and Allison all looking cool in their Fred Perrys and McNab sporting Slazenger at Mexico 70. Jimmy Hill came dressed as Oscar Wilde! 😳 #England #Scotland

Leeds v Brighton 15/5/82- less than 20,000 at Elland Road but no one there will forget one of the best ever atmospheres. Losing and staring relegation in the face on 90 minutes, we scored 2 in injury time to save ourselves. We were staying up!…so we thought 😕 #LUFC #ALAW #MOT

Sunday night tune- Skids, Into the Valley 1979. Wonder how many kids pulled a hamstring doing the ‘Skids dance’ at the church hall disco? Fair play to Jobson, no cool posturing for him on TOTP, he used to properly go for it, nearly kicking his own head off here…
