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

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?

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.

I remember both those ladies! Shirley (?) on the left worked in the club shop for years, I’m sure she was there from the 70s and well into the 90s.

There’s been a bit of debate on Twitter over when we stopped doing the centre circle pre-match wave…evidence here it was still happening in late 1986. Did it carry on until Wilko stopped it when he threw out the old pictures etc?

FA cup 3rd round, 11 January 1987. Telford v Leeds at the Hawthorns on a freezing cold Sunday lunchtime. Can’t believe this was 39 years ago today!

NEW BOOK! It’s 1985 and it’s definitely grim up north, but adversity represents opportunity for 3 men. The politician, the tabloid reporter, and the crime boss who wants to buy Leeds United.

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

Leeds 4 Palace 1, April 1985.
‘He taps his programme on the back of the empty seat in front. Neil Aspin on the cover looking surprised. Surprised he’s playing for Leeds United most likely.’ #nineteen85

A few tricky ones on here…Peter Maguire, Vince Brockie, Kevin Noteman, Peter Mumby.
Bottom left next to Speed has got me though 🤔

Vintage Neil Aspin wearing the RF Winder shirt and his little brother’s shorts in front of the South Stand seats.

Xmas gift problems?
Something for an #80sLeeds fan who thinks 89/90 was #LUFC’s greatest ever season, and still gets flashbacks to that Dean Court dustbowl on every hot Bank Holiday. #Bournemouth90
“A Leeds cult classic”
“Nostalgia at its best”

Leeds weren’t great in the mid 80s but at least we were a handful at corners. Big George, Bairdy and Linighan prepare to gatecrash the Boro goal in October 85. #nineteen85

And it was one week after Oxford…bit of #80sLeeds Groundhog Day going on there!
Iconic mid-80s Elland Road shot - Baird, WGK shirt and permed long-back, scoring against top of the table Oxford in April 85 in front of the Kop and nearly empty Lowfields seats. All that’s missing is the copper stood on the grass bank! #nineteen85
#LUFC #80sLeeds #ALAW #Leeds
I’ll be impressed if anyone can name this game…even more impressed if anyone was there! Clues- Leeds team included Lukic in goal, Connor, Barnes, Sabella and Graham upfront and I think it was Brian Greenhoff who gave the penalty away…

Tommy and Scott, Shez and Irwin. The writing was on the wall for Eddie and his very young team when we missed out on promotion in 85.

Neil Aspin instructs a young Roger Eli on how to do the #LUFC pre-match centre circle wave on his debut in the 5-2 win over Wimbledon in December 1984. I’m surprised we were still doing it then. Anyone remember when it stopped? #nineteen85

Phil Hughes in a rare appearance in goal for Leeds in 84/85. He played 4 times that season including a 1-1 draw with Man City in front of a bumper bank holiday crowd of 22,000! (The following week we beat Notts County 5-0 with 11,000 there) #nineteen85
