21/4/74- Don Revie enters the Queens Hotel for a club social event and bumps into Bill Shankly. Asked what he’s doing there Shanks mutters about ā€˜business.’ He nearly gave the game away- it was Don’s This is Your Life. Hopefully one day a recording will turn up.. #LUFC #70sLeeds

Never seen this photo before of Albert Johannesson wearing (I’m guessing) the blue away kit. Anyone recognise the ground? #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #MOT #LS65

ā€˜All we need is a prolific striker and a creative midfielder’. Leeds shelled out Ā£60k for Andy Watson and Ā£160k for big George in 1983. Both proved the point that being good in Scotland doesn’t necessarily mean you will be south of the border! #LUFC #ALAW #MOT #80sLeeds

Babs, Macca (and Sid James peeping over his shoulder?) - Fair play to The Square Ball for avoiding the obvious team bus/Wilko with Trophy/Cantona Civic Hall photo for their title winning celebration cover! #LS92 #LUFC #ALAW #MOT

Anyone recognise the match? North west corner under construction and a kit clash nightmare for viewers watching on black and white TV…. #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW

Leeds always took more…30,000 heading to Wembley for the 1968 league cup final, though it sounds like the reporter hasn’t been to a match since the 50s- I’m not ā€˜sure rattles and bells and hats with streamers’ were that common in the late 60s. #LUFC #60sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

Anyone recognise this Leeds player? Made 21 appearances between 1959-61 and later became a vicar! Good shot of the Scratching Shed too when it looks to have been popular with families and kids. #LUFC #50sLeeds #ALAW

Tricky one this, only 1 person got it. The mystery player was John Kilford who moved to non league football after his time at Leeds before becoming an accountant, then a vicar. His date of birth was 1938 not 1958 as stated here…

August 1978- news leaks that Jock Stein is Leeds first choice to replace Jimmy Armfield as manager and Manny Cussins has held a ā€˜top secret meeting’ with him in Newcastle. We had to wait for an answer though while he consulted with his wife Jean.. #LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW #MOT

Bobby Collins looking like he’s playing for the Hall of Mirrors XI in this strangely proportioned shot! Wonder why there are big gaps on the terrace behind…no segregation or away end back then? #LUFC #60sLeeds #LS65 #MOT

The iconic #LUFC wave…always with the right hand? Were they all right handed or was it part of the choreography and they were told to do it I wonder? #70sLeeds #ALAW #MOT
