On This Day 1987 #lufc
A horrible night in Birmingham!
Our first defeat in a Play-Off Final & for me the worst.
We were so close to glory after John Sheridan’s fantastic free-kick, only to succumb to Charlton’s Peter Shirtliff with a late double.
It took a long time to recover.

A heartbreaking night at St Andrew’s
The first of our now four Play-Off Final defeats!

It Still Hurts 49 Years Later!
A stonewall penalty, Peter Lorimer’s famous strike, Beckenbauer’s arm and a corrupt official.
Leeds United should have been crowned Champions Of Europe.

49 years ago tomorrow. #lufc
Robbed blind…again!
It will always hurt.

On This Day 1989 #lufc
A sad day for Leeds United with the passing of the great Don Revie.
The man who put our club on the footballing map & give us a team to be proud of and that was feared across Europe.
Today we are at Wembley in the play off final.
Let’s do it for Don.

The Mexican Wave and Limbs at a rocking Elland Road.
Leeds United beat Charlton 1-0 in the Division One Play Off Final 2nd Leg (Agg 1-1). Brendan Ormsby with the goal and the ground erupted!

Elland Road was bouncing!

It’s FA Cup Final day tomorrow with hardly any build up on the BBC & ITV.
Back in the 1972 when the competition actually meant something, there was fantastic build up on both channels.
Early morning starts, plenty of entertainment before the big game.
It was like Christmas Day!

Next Sunday when Leeds United walk out at Wembley, it will be 35 years to the day that the great Don Revie died.
If we show the fighting spirit that Don Revie’s great side had next Sunday we’ll be alright.
Keep Fighting!

As Leeds United were beating Huddersfield in the West Riding Cup Semi-Final, their relegation to the second division was confirmed after Stoke City beat WBA 3-0.

A sad night for Leeds United at The Hawthorns on and off the pitch.
Relegation all but confirmed, the fans rioted, but manager Allan Clarke didn’t see anything!
After a 2-0 defeat to WBA, relegation was confirmed two days later, when Stoke City beat WBA.

42 years ago tomorrow #lufc
A sad night at The Hawthorns!

The Play-Offs 1980s style and that all important Keith Edwards goal.
A great Sunday lunchtime!

Well, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm going to Wembley!
What a performance that was.
More memories are to be made!

We Never Stood A Chance!
A depleted Leeds United are cheated out of the Cup Winners Cup Final by referee Christos Michas, who had been bribed by AC Milan.
Blatant penalties turned down and Norman Hunter was sent off in the 1-0 defeat.

51 years ago tomorrow #lufc
Cheated!

On This Day 1982 #lufc
One of the great atmospheres at Elland Road with only 19,000 in the ground, limbs all over the place after two goals in a minute from Gary Hamson & Kevin Hird give Leeds United a 2-1 victory over Brighton.
We thought we were safe from relegation….but!

‘Leeds United Are On Their Way To Wembley’…..What a night!
Jonny Howson’s famous last gasp Aggregate winner over Carlisle in the Play Offs.
Great commentary from Ian Darke
