A lot has gone right in the 100 years of Leeds United history, but more has gone wrong...
Leeds United have had many triumphs in their history - from the golden age under Don Revie, and Howard Wilkinson's 'last champions' through to electric David O'Leary side. But Leeds United have also had their fair share of downs to accompany the ups since they were created from the ashes of scandal-hit Leeds City in 1919.
But what is undeniable was what he’d go on to achieve afterwards, and the quality he began to show in the 1992-93 season. Wilkinson’s phonecall to Alex Ferguson to inquire about the possibility of signing Denis Irwin has gone down in football folklore, with Cantona ending up moving in the other direction instead. One of the great “what if?” moments in football history.
This in turn brought about the sale of John Charles, who left for Juventus for £65,000 the following year in a British record move.When Barry Davies, the BBC's voice of reason for decades would practically condone a pitch invasion, you know something is rotten in Denmark. But that's exactly what happened when in Leeds United's April 1971 defeat to West Bromwich Albion which effectively cost Leeds the title.
Appointing Clough Forks and plug sockets. Apple juice and toothpaste. Brian Clough and Leeds United. Some things just don’t go together. Selling Batty... and replacing him with Carlton Palmer The beating heart of Leeds United’s 1992 title win and an integral part of that iconic midfield with Garry Speed, Gary McAllister and Gordon Strachan, Batty’s departure to Blackburn in 1993 was a collective gut-punch for every fan that lived through it.
Succeeding Simon Grayson, who will forever be a club hero for the win at Old Trafford and promotion from League One before making a decent fist of life back in the second tier, wasn’t an enviable task. But there was a logic in bringing in a proven promotion-winner to take the club to the next level. Luciano Becchio, cult favourite and long-serving goal machine, was top of the Championship goalscoring charts with 15 goals before Christmas when he was allowed to follow Robert Snodgrass and Jonny Howson to Norwich.
Peter Ridsdale: Signing Seth Johnson, Robbie Keane, Robbie Fowler, goldfish, etc At the turn of the century, Leeds were a force to be reckoned with. An exceptional, exciting young team, the European exploits and giant killings were no fluke.
