It was Guy Fawkes Night [and] my wife was by herself at home with the dog … the dog kept barking all night and she was scared … she rings me up at three o’clock … and I go, ‘She will be alright’.

100 Years of Leeds United tells the story of a one-club city and its unique relationship with its football team. Author Daniel Chapman, more commonly known as Moscow White to many Leeds United fans, delves deep into the archives to discover the lesser-known episodes, providing fresh context to the folkloric tales that have shaped the club we know today, painting the definitive picture of the West Yorkshire giants.

From the roots of football in the West Riding of Yorkshire 100 Years of Leeds United tells the story tells the story of how Leeds City were founded amongst ‘stubborn indifference’ to the game and how Leeds United emerged from their ashes.
From the early struggles to the glory years under that ‘one man in a thousand’ Don Revie, to the European dreams of the millennium and the exile in the wilderness between and since relive the story of our great football club in its centenary year. Histories of Leeds United have been written before but none so well researched and none have been so thoughtful about those little moments that really hit you as a fan as 100 Years of Leeds United.

The Biography of Leeds United by Rob Bagchi
In The Biography of Leeds United, Telegraph journalist and lifelong fan Rob Bagchi writes the story of this famous club and chronicles a century of history that will educate, entertain and inform both old and new supporters. Packed with fresh stories about and from former players, managers and the money men, as well as the fans, the book is an affectionate and insightful portrait of a football club like no other.
Leeds United were founded in 1919 to revive professional football in Yorkshire's biggest city following the expulsion of their fragile and bungling predecessors, Leeds City. A century on from their formation, a club that makes a virtue out of its many ups and downs in its own anthem, has endured a turbulent existence of crushing disappointment and conflict tempered by extraordinary, often mercurial, success.
This centenary, vivid recollections of Leeds United’s greatest days, the three league championships, FA Cup, League Cup and floodlit memories of nights of European glory were celebrated throughout the vast fanbase. Elland Road icons John Charles, Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton, Peter Lorimer, Norman Hunter, Eddie Gray, Tony Currie, John Sheridan, Gordon Strachan, David Batty, Eric Cantona, Gary Speed and Lucas Radebe played for teams that were both revered and reviled, contributing to the club's fame throughout the world. Don Revie's team of the Sixties and Seventies propelled the club and city to unprecedented heights. But when they reached the top, they failed to plan and there was nowhere to go but down.
The theme of the past five decades has been the struggle to get back, a story of great adventures, fleeting splendour, relegation and defiant, hard battles against authority, owners and self-sabotage.
