• Our Greatest Captain. Elland Road, Leeds Yorkshire England

  Published: 26th June 2010

  Our greatest captain. William 'Billy' John Bremner (born Stirling, Scotland, 9 December 1942; died Doncaster, England, 7 December 1997) was the inspirational captain of the legendary Leeds United football team of the 1960s and 1970s. Bremner, a diminutive but hard midfield player, was scouted by Leeds while playing schoolboy football in Scotland and signed for the Elland Road club in 1959, the day after his 17th birthday. He had previously been rejected by Arsenal and Chelsea for being too small. He made his first-team debut in 1960 and was a permanent fixture on manager Don Revie's team sheet for more than 15 years thereafter unless injured or suspended. Bremner quickly established himself as an uncompromising player, tough in the t

• FA Cup Third Round . Manchester United 0 - Leeds United 1. Elland Road, Leeds Yorkshire England

  FA Cup: Manchester United v Leeds United - as it happened League One leaders Leeds United pulled off the shock of the third round with a well-earned win over Manchester United at Old Trafford FA Cup Third Round Sunday 3 January 2010 Manchester United - 0       Leeds United - 1 Good afternoon and a happy new year to one and all. It's been a damp squib of an FA Cup third round so far, with the broadcast of triumphant scenes from the dressing rooms of giant-killing minnows having been non-existent thus far. But if there were cameras in the Leeds United dressing room, there's every chance we'd see pre-match scenes of the League One side's players milling about in a state of undress, whoopi

• Greatest LEEDS UNITED players Elland Road, Leeds Yorkshire England

  Published: 22nd June 2010

  The 50 greatest Leeds United players 50) Eric Cantona (1992) 34 appearances, 11 goalsCantona gave Leeds some much-needed impetus in 1992, but while his subsequent sale to the Theatre of Short Memories has been widely used to damn Howard Wilkinson, nobody, including I suspect Sir Alex Ferguson, could have envisaged the bit-part player becoming such a global icon. "I don't recall him getting too many clinchers," Gordon Strachan said of the 1992 title campaign, but there were occasional moments of brilliance. It was scarcely a surprise that Leeds's Rimbaud-reading maverick did not gel with Sergeant "Last of the Summer Wine" Wilko. "Eric likes to do what he likes when he likes and then f***s off," Wilkinson said. "We'd all want a bit

• Elland Road 1920 - 1974. Elland Road, Leeds Yorkshire England

  Published: 21st June 2010

  1920–1974 The advent of newly-formed Leeds United brought with it big changes for Elland Road. During the 1920s, the South Stand terrace was covered with a wooden barrel-shaped roof that stretched the length of the stand and it came to be known as the Scratching Shed. Another stand was built on the terracing that ran the entire length of the pitch down the east side of the ground, called The Lowfields. Behind the goal at the north end of the pitch stood a huge terrace known as the Spion Kop, or simply Kop for short. This name originated from a hill in South Africa on which 322 British soldiers lost their lives in the Battle of Spion Kop, in January 1900, during the Boer War. No significant changes were made regarding the structure o

    Kaiser Chiefs play Leeds Utd homecoming show (5.24.2008)     The Cribs and Mark Ronson help band rock Elland Road. Kaiser Chiefs have played a 35,000 capacity homecoming show at Leeds United's Elland Road stadium tonight (May 24). Taking the stage to loud football-style chants from the audience, the band ironically kicked off their biggest ever gig with 'Everything Is Average Nowadays'. With singer Ricky Wilson wearing a yellow and white shirt under his suit, guitarist Whitey's amps emblazoned with "LUFC" and drummer Nick Hodgson wearing a vintage football top, the band embraced their local team - who play in the League One Play-Off Final tomorrow (25) at London's Wembley Stadium - and home city right fr

• The Soul Of Leeds In 50 Moments Elland Road, Leeds Yorkshire England

  Published: 20th June 2010

  November 6, 2007 The soul of Leeds in 50 moments   Rick Broadbent 50) The rewriting of history Revie’s Leeds played a beautiful version of football that now makes Chelsea look like the witless second team from The Dog and Duck. Sadly, this truth has been lost by cynical London megaphones who champion the nastiness and ignore the good. 49) One Mick Jones One of the good things about Leeds fans is they do not ring up football phone-ins like 606 to air pointless views about whether their side is good/bad/not bad. Instead they contribute to websites like www.onemickjones.com, which bills itself as ’football talk for Clash-city rockers’ and mixes discussion of Dennis Wise with debates about

• A BRIEF HISTORY OF ELLAND ROAD. Elland Road, Leeds Yorkshire England

  Published: 19th June 2010

  ...The open grass field in Beeston, Leeds 11, situated at the side of the main road to the neighbouring town of Elland, was owned by Bentley's Brewery and originally called the Old Peacock ground, after the Old Peacock pub which faced the land. In 1897 Holbeck Rugby Club bought the ground from Bentley's for £1,100, under the condition that it remained a football ground for at least seven years and that all the catering rights should be held by Bentley's. Holbeck RC, despite a lack of labour, were able to build a new stand for the upcoming season. Rugby was the dominant sport throughout the West Riding at the time, but it didn't take long before association football, came a knocking at the doors of the ground, w

• ELLAND ROAD 'BEACH'. Elland Road, Leeds Yorkshire England

  Published: 19th June 2010

  It might look more like a beach than a football pitch but this was Elland Road at the beginning of the week as work began on a £100,000 scheme to improve the quality of the playing area and also the pitches at the Thorp Arch training complex. The surface of the pitch was shaved off by a specially designed machine which took about six hours. Then, with the aid of another machine, work began on breaking up the compaction of the soil beneath the surface and root-zone down to a level of eight inches. Seawood granules and ground limestone were added to the soil during the cultivation procedure before the surface was eventually levelled up again. Today the whole area was re-seeded and the grass should have grown fully by a week this Frida
