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.

Leeds Bonnie Scots…interesting kits on this photo. Yellow admiral shirts with no stripes, light blue shorts with a stripe and red goalkeeper shirts. I remember Harvey wearing his red Scotland shirt but not this one…

From the League magazine 1973. I was sure it was a Trevillion but the man himself popped up on twitter and said it’s not his work. Could be an artist called Charlie Du Pont. Whoever it was it’s very good!

This clip shows why so many people hated Revie’s Leeds. Imagine a team turning up at your home ground and taking the piss with that centre circle wave. The masters of shit-housery! 🤨👏🏻

Leeds v Liverpool 1979- view from the West Stand. A good shot of the terraced streets, the Hoxtons and Canonburys which stood where the car park and McDonald’s are now. I think this is the May 79 game not September when the bus caught fire on Elland Road.

Meet Arthur - Likes golf, cowboy films and Kate Bush. Drives a Toyota, eats steak and holidays in Bermuda. Biggest disappointment- getting banned for Scotland after that night out with Billy in Copenhagen but he still likes Denmark!

#70sLeeds match day…giant floodlights, sheepskins and flasks, Tetley bitter and cig smoke, boiled burgers and Bovril…and always a copper or two stood on the Lowfields grass bank steps. Wonder if they could see the south stand goal or was it a restricted view?

Great set of #LUFC stickers this, chuck them a ball then snap them playing with it, much better than the standard crouching pose. Must be from 71 as mentions the Fairs cup win but not the 72 FA cup. Interesting they used the old pre 64 club crest.

Two 70s design classics - the #LUFC away kit and the #Wales home kit. A post on Facebook prompted a discussion on what it would be like to combine the two. Next seasons away kit perhaps?

Villa v Leeds - if you’re on twitter I’ve posted some footage of classic past games. Can’t post on here due to the 60 second limit on videos 🤨

Wonder how many other players who weren’t even a first team regular were cover stars in the early 70s?! Only 187 games for Leeds in almost 15 years for Mick Bates, the eternal substitute. Undying loyalty to the cause or maybe a lack of ambition?
#LUFC #70sLeeds #ALAW #MOT
Come on Ref!! Billy, Trevor and (I think) Eddie wearing the short-lived blue smiley badge shirt just can’t believe that decision…

‘There’s a red headed tiger known as Billy’…Bremner’s hair looks like you could cut your hand on it on this photo. Proper wire wool, 100% ginner but I bet he never got bullied for it at school!

Oh Frankie Frankie…wonder if Archie and Harry know that their grandad was a bit of a Marlon Brando lookalike in his younger days...

Photo finish…Big Jack wins it by a nose! Don was obviously no slouch even in his late forties. Wonder how much was at stake in this 100 metres training sprint?

An iconic #70sLeeds photo- Eddie, Mick and John putting in the hard yards on Fullerton Park, framed by the West Stand frontage reminding them that they play for the best team in the country.

I’d have given my right arm for an official #LUFC action man as a kid. As it was, I’m pretty sure I ended up with something like the ‘Made in Hong Kong’ version, bottom right!

Leeds 1 Forest 0- Nov 1977. The last time newly promoted Forest would be beaten on their way to the league title. I remember Forest brought loads that day, as you can see from a lack of celebration in the (then mixed) South Stand when Hankin scores.

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
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!

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?

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
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!
