- Another young hopeful, starting out in his career and hoping to make a name for himself at Leeds but with a National Service call up on the horizon. Wonder what became of him?! #LUFC #ALAW #50sLeeds #MOT
- Great photo…Stool, milk crate, homemade wooden platform? What did your dad cart along to the ground to give you a better view, all you 60s and 70s Saturday’s kids? A sturdy wooden box for me, which weighed about as much as I did!
- There were a lot of #LUFC team shots taken from Fullerton Park steps in the 60s and 70s. This one is interesting as it shows the old ticket office with a typical midweek queue of flask-carrying elderly men in hats and overcoats buying west stand tickets! #60sLeeds #MOT #LS65 #ALAW
- 1970- England World Cup squad go to Brentwood in Essex to pick up their sponsored Cortina 1600E’s. Leeds players were Sniffer, Big Jack, Terry Cooper and Norman. Reaney was in the squad but broke his leg and Madeley couldn’t get time off from the paint shop! #LUFC #70sLeeds #MOT #3Lions #England
- Leeds v Arsenal then….👊🏼💥😴
- Leeds v Arsenal then…
- The H Men - Leeds late 70s forward line- Hankin and Hawley. They took no prisoners these lads and when they came up against centre halves like Mickey Droy or Dave Watson it was like a heavyweight boxing match! #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW#MOT
- Cold start for the Rolls Royce…must have been a hard frost forecast the night before, looking at the depth of the straw cleared off the Elland Road pitch. Madeley looking cool as usual… #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #MOT
- Battle of Goodison 1964- Giles’ tackle is slightly high on Sandy Brown,leaving stud marks on his chest. Brown chins him and gets a red. Willie Bell knocks Derek Temple out in a 50/50.Ref takes the teams off and they re-emerge to ‘Dirty Leeds’ from the whole ground! #LUFC #LS65 #ALAW #60sLeeds #MOT
- Three against one….The ref getting stuck in on Pat Nevin alongside Batts and McAllister at Goodison in the days when referees were unfit middle aged blokes who couldn’t move quick enough to get out of the way… #LS92 #LUFC #90sLeeds #MOT
- 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 #MOT
- That Friday feeling…the weekend begins here!
- Don Revie, This is your Life. Eamon Andrews surprised Don at a variety club dinner at the Queens Hotel on Sunday 21/4/74. Apparently theres a copy of the film in the ITV archive but nothing online unfortunately. Wonder what happened to Don’s big red book? #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW #LeedsUnited
- Billy arriving at Elland Road before the 71 Fairs cup final with a shirt and tie to match his hair. I think they used to stay at a hotel in Harrogate on the night before big home games so Don could keep an eye on them! #LUFC #70sLeeds #WACCOE #MOT
- Very rare photo of Sniffer abandoning the usual cool and aloof stare and actually looking happy…and an over confident prediction from Bobby Moore! #LUFC #70sLeeds #England #ALAW #MOT
- Who remembers the Leeds Skywalk? In the early 70s, all new buildings in the city centre were required to add an external raised pedestrian walkway. It started at Millgarth with various sections extending over to the Bank of England but it never linked up completely. #LeedsHistory #Leeds

- Happy 78th birthday Eddie Gray….pictured here deciding whether it’s worth spoiling that perfect Beatle-cut to head the ball for a photo shoot on Fullerton Park. #LUFC #60sLeeds #LS65 #ALAW
- When footballers had style - a classic #60sLeeds photo from Andrew Varley. Giles’ full length leather, Sprake’s pocket square, Madeley’s suit and polo shirt combo, and Bill’s Stylo bag and cig…all that’s missing is his usual trilby! 👏🏻 #LUFC #60sLeeds #LS65
- Must be a bad angle this as I’m sure Don wasn’t that much taller than Billy? Looks like pre season training in Roundhay Park,with someone in a deckchair in the background! #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW #MOT
- Big Jack outside ‘His’ menswear shop and basement coffee bar in Harehills c.1969. The shop burnt down in 1971, possibly due to a discarded cig from Jack or Billy! #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #LS65

- The photo was taken in Jan 73 when he just needed the 7 for the full set. He played in that number at Wolves in Sept that year.
- Always good to have a few options in goal but rare to see 4 on one team photo. Can anyone name them all? #LUFC #60sLeeds #LS65
