On this night 126 years ago, almost 1000 people met at the Salem Chapel in Leeds. Leaving their work places in the mills, brewery’s, factories the decision was made to form a professional club to replace Leeds City. The ex City players had been auctioned off earlier that day.

United Fisheries back when it was United Fisheries. Would be great to have a better picture if anyone has one? As a kid I used to get my haircut in the hairdressers that was in the parade of shops. Used to make my week if I’d see a Leeds played going into the paper shop.

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.
