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!

Cold start for the Rolls Royce…must have been a hard frost forecast the night before, looking at the depth of the straw cleared off the Elland Road pitch. Madeley looking cool as usual…

Battle of Goodison 1964- Giles’ tackle is slightly high on Sandy Brown,leaving stud marks on his chest. Brown chins him and gets a red. Willie Bell knocks Derek Temple out in a 50/50.Ref takes the teams off and they re-emerge to ‘Dirty Leeds’ from the whole ground!

Three against one….The ref getting stuck in on Pat Nevin alongside Batts and McAllister at Goodison in the days when referees were unfit middle aged blokes who couldn’t move quick enough to get out of the way…

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?

‘Seamlessly blending fact and fiction, Morris once again draws on his great knowledge of the Leeds story.’

‘Billy’s usual mix of dark gritty menace, the underworld and football, now set against the backdrop of swinging 60s Leeds.’ #LS65

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!

Very rare photo of Sniffer abandoning the usual cool and aloof stare and actually looking happy…and an over confident prediction from Bobby Moore!

Who remembers the Leeds Skywalk? In the early 70s, all new buildings in the city centre were required to add an external raised pedestrian walkway. It started at Millgarth with various sections extending over to the Bank of England but it never linked up completely.

Happy 78th birthday Eddie Gray….pictured here deciding whether it’s worth spoiling that perfect Beatle-cut to head the ball for a photo shoot on Fullerton Park.

When footballers had style - a classic #60sLeeds photo from Andrew Varley. Giles’ full length leather, Sprake’s pocket square, Madeley’s suit and polo shirt combo, and Bill’s Stylo bag and cig…all that’s missing is his usual trilby! 👏🏻

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!

Big Jack outside ‘His’ menswear shop and basement coffee bar in Harehills c.1969. The shop burnt down in 1971, possibly due to a discarded cig from Jack or Billy!

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!
