#LUFC Nostalgia #OnThisDay & Stats
@lufc-otd-nostalgia.bsky.social
Sharing the obvious & obscure in Leeds United history. After 12 years on Twitter, 32k posts, 80k images shared - still there but the slow start on Bluesky starts now! Please help me re-build my audience - #lufc #LeedsCityFC #OnThisDay #MemoriesFromTheAttic
Basic records updated - leaving the technical & tactical interrogations to the stats experts. But all reflect a worrying outcome from United's latest defeat.
As last week, my only positive being the fact Leeds have played 90 games since having a player sent off; 107 since an outfield red card.

Two other notable MATCHDAY memories for Leeds United facing Nottingham Forest.
Terry Hibbitt's first touch, (substitute) debut goal in 1966.
And the City Ground fire that saw the game abandoned in 1968!
Lots more ahead of #lufc v #nffc shared today 😉

More MATCHDAY info ahead of Leeds at Nottingham Forest, this time looking at Sean Dyche's record against United.
The former Watford, Burnley & Everton manager just edging it with 6 wins from 14 games, with his teams keeping 4 clean sheets against #lufc.
Watch out for 0-1! 🫣

And to the MATCHDAY spotlights for Daniel Farke & his Leeds squad against Nottingham Forest.
The boss lost his first but has been unbeaten since against them with Norwich.
Several United players to face #nffc for the first time. Overall not many goals scored yet by the current #lufc crop.

Heading to Nottingham, with MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds v Forest.
Strange times at the City Ground - in Europe after flying high last season, but already on to their third manager of the current campaign - Sean Dyche back in the familiar relegation zone! 😅

MATCHDAY focus on previous 9th Novembers for Leeds. Not such a bad day, just a shame we aren't playing at #EllandRoad, unbeaten in 8 at home #OnThisDay!
Hat-tricks, penalties & own goals scored in United's favour - and no sending offs.
Can #lufc maintain this impressive long run without a red card?

Look at some of these Leeds United away travel prices from 1988/89.
£15.50 to the south coast and on Saturday just gone, Brighton cost us just three times as much on LUSC Griffin!
Others would cost more than a multiple of 3 nowadays - especially Shrewsbury!

The 1950s #lufc 'Blue and Golds' still my favourites.

Why did John Charles wish to give up the grand life in Italy?

A clue shared in 1961....

Records updated after defeat at the AMEX.
Daniel Farke yet to win against Brighton (in 4), or see one of his teams register a goal against them!
United have had better (& worse) starts in the last 10 seasons!
89 games played since Leeds saw a red card and 106 for an outfield player sent off...

Adding Aidan Butterworth.
Another Leeds player to have scored on their exact birthday date!
Scoring the only goal at #EllandRoad as United beat Notts County on 7th November 1981.

And more Leeds United birthday goals from Alfe Inge Haaland, Robbie Blake and Alex Bruce.
Have to look up others later 😅

Records updated after Leeds beat West Ham at #EllandRoad.
Farke's first win over the Hammers; Nuno's first defeat to 'the United'!;
Equalled Bielsa's points from the first 9 games in #EPL;
Not the worst of other past promoted #lufc teams;
88 games since a red card (105 since an outfield sending off)
October 25, 2025 at 2:42 PM
And now to MATCHDAY career spotlights for Daniel Farke & his squad facing West Ham United.
100% clean sheets for Darlow (albeit 2 games!);
plenty of goals for DCL;
that special day for 'Hat-trick Harrison' for Leeds;
mixed for others and numerous #lufc players facing #whu for the first time tonight.
October 24, 2025 at 5:30 PM
To the MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds v West Ham; north & south Uniteds who really need a win at #EllandRoad!
Nuno Espírito Santo has won all 4 of his games facing the Whites (with Wolves); Daniel Farke lost both his Norwich games v the Hammers! Oh, the pressure!

MATCHDAY detail for Leeds on past 24th Octobers.
Pretty even overall with a better home record as you might expect.
A United penalty scored #OnThisDay but no own goals, hat-tricks or sending offs.
#lufc have scored in the last 11 games played #OTD.
Common scores: 3 x W1-0 & L1-2.

Billy Bremner featured in June 1974, ahead of Scotland's World Cup match with the mighty Brazil, and words of wisdom from the man who would soon be his boss at Leeds United. Not sure Brian Clough had the same respect for him a few months later 😅

What was this on one of the ITV regions in April 1974, bottom right?
"Elland Road", the last programme on the 'Southern' channel - and I checked, it was not on in the London area, but don't know about Yorkshire TV...
Could be an incomplete/shortened title like some others.

Jack Charlton voted, "scruffiest" & "worst 5-a-side player", at Leeds United on one of the annual New Year's Eve awards evenings at the club - as revealed in this March 1977 feature...

I wonder who won 'biggest boozer' & 'worst trainer'; and the 'Biggest Moaner of the Year', 3 years in a row?

1976 and Big Jack Charlton this time thinking back to footballing aspirations in the North East & a mention of Jimmy Seed who would make it away from the pit & to stardom at Spurs.
And surprising details about his own Leeds United debut against Donny Rovers in 1953, under Major Frank Buckley!

Bringing some more Jack Charlton gems for the adoring Leeds public!
Idols and emotions - including tears when United lost.
