Big respect Patrick Bamford. A scorer of great goals and for a short time big teams couldn't handle him. His body let him down right at his peak (17 PL goals, 27, England cap). Always felt this must have absolutely crushed him, but through it all a stand-up guy until the end. Go well #lufc

Great privilege to be asked to attend the launch of the Wilko92 campaign tonight, and the ceremonial handing over of the great Paul Trevillion's artwork of Howard Wilkinson. In the coming years this will be transformed into a long overdue statue at Elland Road marking Wilko's amazing achievements

It seems the new groups are concerned 😃

I love this footage (that I’ve just seen on Facebook) of Paul (Simonon) with a couple of young Clash fans singing ‘Guns Of Brixton’ ❤️

Today would’ve been my dad’s 85th birthday. Like many fans, stories about Paris 75 and “the French referee” were my childhood introduction to Leeds United, and it was a pleasure talking about it all with @thesquareball.net

#lufc
Fifty years on from Leeds' European Cup final, we sat down with @btngnrtn.bsky.social to talk about it, Kitabdjian and everything in between.

It’s 26 years since this sublime set-piece routine.

Always nice when that work on the training ground pays off.
