55-56 ended in Promotion.
A few friendlies played too, most notably our friends from OT.
6 of the published line up died in Munich 2 years later.
2 greats, Charles & Edwards, both scoring in an easy win for the visitors.

Advertised twice at the end of season this Arsenal friendly appears to have been pushed to November 55.
The Leeds United Welfare Assoc would clearly have appreciated the extra gate revenue.
ST renewals! Those were the days, £7/£4!

Recommencing our archive, a complete set home progs 54-55.
12th March 55, Bristol Rovers, it’s noted that Harry Reynolds is appointed to the board. Pivotal in signing Don Revie as player & subsequently LU manager. The most important director ever?

One win away from the FA Cup final surely means one win away from a Cup Final record? A vinyl release would be wonderful to add to some of the great LU vinyl releases of the past, as well as Ellen’s more recent classic. C’mon you String Of Beads! #lufc #mot #alaw

All the home programmes for 51-52 are available free to read on Flickr.
Follow us there as we continue to build our on line archive, one that’ll hopefully do our magnificent club justice. 💙🤍💛

We’ve played Chelsea 9 times in the FA Cup, most notoriously in the 67 SF & the replayed 70 Final. The 51-52 5th round tie went to 2replays. Here’s the prog from the 1st of those 3 matches. We have yet to beat them (6 lost,3 drawn). Time for a change! #lufc #mot #alaw

Just two wins away from a return to European competition. Maybe not the Champions League, but hopefully Panini will produce a sticker album just to celebrate with us. Here’s the one they did for our 2000-01 campaign. #gotgotneed #lufc #mot #alaw
88-89 is best remembered as the season Wilko arrived at Leeds.
But here in issue 23 of the LUNewspaper (Feb89) is a first advert for a product that would shape the beautiful game in this country for decades to come. If only they’d stuck to boxing. #lufc #mot #alaw

West Ham v Leeds in the FACup. Let’s hope Sunday is a better result than this 1929-30 meeting.
Classic footage from (probably!) the finest Leeds United You Tube channel out there 💙🤍💛

To celebrate #NonLeagueDay we take another fanzine dip down the leagues with a bargain, the 50p 32 page issue 19 of Roundabout Town/GLO, Basingstoke’s amalgamated fanzine from October 1993.

Well no injuries reported. As for trauma 😱
The second Voyage of Discovery from Pollok in a week provides a tremendously bad photo for #FloodlightFriday shenanigans this week. This time with great news about an old stadium. Fulton, One-nil is a gift that keeps on giving footballfanzineculture.blog/2026/03/27/f...
We are up to #33 of the LU Newspaper. Moving into the 90s, the Wilko revolution is in full flight.
Note the numbering anomaly, there’s no issue 29,30,31. All issues on Flickr, #1-33 with more to follow (& 7 earlier LU News)

Great track. Is it too much to hope the Leeds lads come back uninjured and not traumatised?! 💙💛🤍🤞
Dreaming of Thee
In advance of next week’s big cup tie it’s a Blue & Gold FA Cup special , issue 4 asking the eternal question ‘Is it United’s turn?’
Plus the Major’s 3 assistants and United star Jimmy Dunn.

1st Edition alert!
Can we be nostalgic about the 90s, surely it’s only yesterday? 😳
The club launched this mag approx a year after the demise of the LU Newspaper.
But who the hell rang club call?!

Rather oddly the cover of Blue & Gold issue 2 features a GK who isn’t a Leeds player! But inside there’s features on Burdon, Holley, Searson & Boys of the New Brigade. Read it all on Flickr #lufc #mot #alaw

Once you’ve digested Sentinel 2, try Mike Green’s ‘Football In Leeds’. A wonderful study of soccer in the late 19th century, another hard to obtain publication which Mike gave us permission to share on our free to read Flickr archive. #lufc #mot #alaw

It’s hard to appreciate the measures taken to keep football alive as footballers ‘joined up’. Many never returned, perhaps the most famous being England international Eric Stephenson.

The Soccer Sentinel issue 2 (1947-48) deals with the early history of soccer in the city in the late 19th century. Leeds Albion, Armley, Hunslet, Holbeck all feature. Superb detail from Mr Thompson with some details repeated from issue 1. #lufc #mot #alaw

Local historian Arthur E Thompson produced The Soccer Sentinel, now very rare. Intended to be a series of annuals this issue 1 (1946-47) provides a complete record of LU’s wartime fixtures, with a small section on City too. #lufc #mot #alaw

Our pleasure 🙏 . The mag only lasted 10 issues, but thanks to a benevolent collector, we have all 10 available on our Flickr account for you to read. It’s stirring stuff! Be sure to follow us on here, X, and Flickr where there’s lots more Peacock history. And please share 💙💛🤍
Inside Blue & Gold, photos galore, United star John Charles, the Story of the Milburns, A League is born, LUSC page, features on Major Frank, Harold Williams and a team photo. What a bargain! #lufc #lusc #mot #alaw

A new independent mag cost 1 shilling, launched in Oct 1949 for the fans, 16 pages, no adverts, except by LUFC for season tickets (£6 & £4 4s!)
Much more news than the club prog, a magnificent publication, now rare and expensive for collectors to find. #lufc #mot
