Another photo that’s not mine, think this was U2 at Elland Road, 1990. Or possibly the Happy Mondays the following year.

Just seen the memory lane website has closed down. The website had over 10,000 photos of Leeds United, some which had rarely been seen. Such a shame a good source of LUfC history has gone. If I knew it was going to close I’d have saved more of them.

I often walk past this grave on the way to work, on the outskirts of Lincoln. One of the founding members of Rangers, McBeath ended up working in a poor house in Lincoln, buried in an unmarked grave. Rangers fans paid for a headstone to be placed by his resting place.

Irish Leeds City players shared lodgings on Parkfield View in Beeston during the 1911 season, with landlady Ellen Norton. See the house listed as having four rooms, unbelievable to think of players sharing a bedroom.

A proposed new relief road is planned to link Elland Road with the newly constructed Lowfields Road (yet to be named Lowfields Road at the time). It is hoped the new road would help with congestion on Elland Road following Leeds United games. The plans were drawn in 1925.
