Hard to know what to say about this… Norman’s been kidnapped and replaced by Rob Hulse and Lorimer by Joey Barton. Reaney looks like Walker off Dad’s Army and what can you say about Eddie Cooper… 🤔😳

Not sure how true this tale is but Leeds did beat Oxford 3-0 on 28/8/2012, and Peltier did come on for Byram late on. I certainly wouldn’t put a scam like this past Warnock, and as well as ripping the club off I suppose he was getting one over on Bates too!

‘He followed the ‘621 past Elland Road, the giant floodlights rising from the grey mist of south Leeds. United are 2nd division now, but they’re letting the world know that they still matter, they aren’t going anywhere.’ #nineteen85

Everyone remembers Flynn and Beckford’s winning goals at Old Trafford but what about the start of the 70s where Leeds won there two seasons in a row, in Aug 70 and Oct 71… Same tomorrow will do 🤞🏼

Who remembers the old supporters club bar next to the club shop on Elland Road? I used to get taken in as a kid in the mid 70s and can still remember the smell…Tetley bitter, cigs, damp sheepskins and patch covered denim jackets…

Billy looking like he’s taking a part time job as the controller at a private hire firm here…

Wem-berley, Wem-berley…🎶
There was one at my school, community studies teacher, did a lesson on football hooliganism…it was all due to poverty, unemployment etc, this was about 80-81. I said that’s not it, they enjoy it. He wouldn’t have it till I brought some Man U away game ‘recruiting’ leaflets in I’d collected at ER. 😳
Those trendy ones who let you know their first names and mentioned bands they liked. Some kids loved that sort of thing, I tended to think they were wankers 😏
Chappy and Wilko looking like your favourite teachers on non uniform day.

It’s that Good Friday feeling…the FA cup weekend begins here!
Mike O’Grady, Leeds and England. Only played twice for his country but scored 3 goals which beats Jimmy Greaves record goals per game ratio of 44/57! Ironically he’d already made his last international appearance when this issue of Goal was published.

Brothers in arms, Big Jack and Norman. A photo to give any 60s centre forward nightmares. Shin pads definitely required.

Another young hopeful who never made quite the grade at Leeds. Wonder what became of him?

Who knows, perhaps he was the Donny NF organiser 🤔
Ha ha, that’s an unpopular but in fact accurate account of the origins of the chest level fist pump. Conveniently forgotten by most now…
First player to do the Leeds Salute. Not the greatest footballer to grace Elland Road but he became a bit of a cult hero due to his rapport with the fans and in the end was probably more popular than his brother?

Best of enemies? The media always talked about hatred between Leeds and Chelsea players, but I bet they got still together for a few pints and a smoke after kicking lumps off each other in the 1970 cup final.

‘Can you spare a pound mate? It’s for some food, honest…’
Love that right hand one, like a still from the Sweeney
Sad news that Mick Roberts, lead singer and song writer with Leeds best ever (in my opinion) band, the Bridewell Taxis, has passed away. RIP Mick, your music will never die.

Not sure of the game. Looks like BB on the edge of the box
