Leeds United F.C. History: Foreword

In compiling this reasonably extensive but by no means comprehensive History of Leeds United from 1919 to present day (and subsequently a section on the History of Leeds City) much use has been made of personal memorabilia and first hand experiences, but in general the accepted facts have been strictly adhered to and several well known reference books have been used.

However, acknowledgement is made to the following:

Jabba: For his comprehensive statistics and in particular, the details of each season results, appearances and goal-scorers, which have been hyperlinked to the relevant season. (And player details which have been hyperlinked to each player featured in photographs). Unfortunately Jabba no longer maintains his site and the information is no longer available. It is my intention to create a Statistics section which will provide every result, team and player statistics. It will be a long project and will be put up progressively, and ultimately will replace the information formerly provided by Jabba, so bear with me and thanks once more to Jabba for providing it for such a long time.

Paul Felton and RSSSF: For the use of the league tables for all the Football Leagues. These have been hyperlinked to each season to give a broader outline on just where Leeds United and others figured in the pecking order of that particular season.

Mr Colin S. Jeffrey: For his ‘12 Years at the Top’ The Story in words and pictures of Leeds United’s Great Years 1963-1975, which IMHO could not be improved on!

Mike Beckmann and Paul Winning for their invaluable advice and assistance and without whom this site would not have been possible.

Paul Gregson for his excellent graphics and assistance.

Just a personal opinion, for those who wish to have a further in depth view of the History of Leeds United, I thoroughly recommend http://www.mightyleeds.co.uk/index.htm and http://www.wafll.com/leeds-united.html!

For LUFC Songs, Poems and Chants "Laughing Leeds Fan" has it all on his website http://www.electronickop.com and for all historical kits of LUFC or any British Club http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Leeds_United/Leeds_United.htm and thanks for the use of them particularly in the "Greatest Games" section.

It is my intention to upgrade and improve the site on a regular basis by replacing photos where they can be improved on and including others to keep the site up to date and more comprehensive. Should anyone have any old team or player photos or LUFC data to improve the site, please do not hesitate to contact me at HistoryofLeedsUnited@hotmail.com

Cheers
