I had a season ticket as Leeds went from the CL semi to League 1.

Here's a reminder of Leeds' sustainability under Ridsdale:

- 16th in the PL the day he left, 4 points off the bottom 3
- Debt increased from £39m in '01 to £78m in '02

Indefensible.

Great start for @leedsunited.com player Rory Mahady after he made his senior debut on loan at Scunthorpe.

He earned a standing ovation from his teammates and some nice words of praise from @sufcofficial.bsky.social manager Andy Butler #lufc

Another day, another game I can't believe was 25 years ago.

Leeds scored 10 goals in a week in 2000, backing up the 6-0 against Besiktas with a classic against Tottenham as Mark Viduka came good for #lufc

This was a fun one to pull together, even if I am showing my age with some of the selections.

My main two conclusions are that I miss stanchions and Ian Harte was very good at free-kicks. #lufc

Not to get carried away by one game, but I would love to see Pablo Hernandez back at Elland Road in the dugout one day #lufc

There were plenty of positive from Leeds' win today, but Calvert-Lewin's goal proved that if he gets high-quality service he can be a big threat for #lufc this season.

Ilia Gruev spoke very highly of Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff's impact with @leedsunited.com

It will be interesting to see if Farke sticks with his three-man midfield wrecking crew against Wolves, or picks Tanaka for a different dimension.

Tough morning for Leeds Rhinos with this and the Morgan Gannon news breaking.

The club doesn't need another period of transition, although they should be better placed to manage with Blease in place.

I've been really impressed with Matty Nicholson so far this season. Making the switch to the NRL look very easy!
