Always like these pictures of Johan Cruyff with Beeston Hill in the background (point of note, I think it’s actually still Windmill Hill at that point, not Beeston Hill).

Elland Road some time around the early 1890s. The pumping station was later bought by Leeds City to expand the Elland Road ground, including rotating the pitch to face north to south as it is today.

Football news from the West Yorkshire League, 1905. Poor dressings at Beeston, referees not turning up, players registered for two clubs and late arrivals for games was all on the agenda.

Elland Road during the 1950’s. Possibly v Spurs in the FA Cup, Jan 1954. So much to take in on this picture and so many questions to be asked.

Not seen these pictures before. During the big freeze of 1963, Leeds United played a friendly against Bradford (Park Avenue) at the greyhound stadium on the other side of Elland Road, as featured in the Groundtastic magazine here. Dick Kerrs Ladies also played France there.

1929 Football Association Rules forbid the playing of football on Sundays. Any person playing a game of football on a Sunday would not be recognised by the Association. Games were played on Christmas Day but players or clubs should not feel compelled to play on this day.
