Meet Harty. Likes Carlos Santana, Reading (assume books not the town) and MASH (the TV show not the potato dish?) Dislikes gardening and hooliganism (bet he wasn’t happy about Ferdinand, Wise and the Blue Peter garden!) Ambitions look a bit optimistic for late #70sLeeds!

The King’s return? I’m guessing this is a late 50s visit from John Charles after he’d gone to Italy. Leeds players are, I think, Grenville Hair, Gerry Francis, Big Jack, ??, Archie Gibson?, Chris Crowe, George Meek. Not sure who the other bloke in the suit is?

Iconic mid-80s Elland Road shot - Baird, WGK shirt and permed long-back, scoring against top of the table Oxford in April 85 in front of the Kop and nearly empty Lowfields seats. All that’s missing is the copper stood on the grass bank! #nineteen85

Saturday night in the early 70s you’d most likely find the #LUFC stars at Club Nouveau on East Parade or at Cinderellas Rockerfellas, Merrion Way. Looking at the girl’s expression maybe Sniffer and Mick the Mover were nicknames earned on the dance floor not the pitch?!

Tommy and Scott, Shez and Irwin. The writing was on the wall for Eddie and his very young team when we missed out on promotion in 85.

Bonfire night in Blandford Gardens, Woodhouse, LS2 in the days before Health and Safety and Public Liability insurance when you just burnt your ‘chumps’ at the end of the street!

Phil Hughes in a rare appearance in goal for Leeds in 84/85. He played 4 times that season including a 1-1 draw with Man City in front of a bumper bank holiday crowd of 22,000! (The following week we beat Notts County 5-0 with 11,000 there) #nineteen85
