Rather oddly the cover of Blue & Gold issue 2 features a GK who isn’t a Leeds player! But inside there’s features on Burdon, Holley, Searson & Boys of the New Brigade. Read it all on Flickr #lufc #mot #alaw

Once you’ve digested Sentinel 2, try Mike Green’s β€˜Football In Leeds’. A wonderful study of soccer in the late 19th century, another hard to obtain publication which Mike gave us permission to share on our free to read Flickr archive. #lufc #mot #alaw

It’s hard to appreciate the measures taken to keep football alive as footballers β€˜joined up’. Many never returned, perhaps the most famous being England international Eric Stephenson.

The Soccer Sentinel issue 2 (1947-48) deals with the early history of soccer in the city in the late 19th century. Leeds Albion, Armley, Hunslet, Holbeck all feature. Superb detail from Mr Thompson with some details repeated from issue 1. #lufc #mot #alaw

Local historian Arthur E Thompson produced The Soccer Sentinel, now very rare. Intended to be a series of annuals this issue 1 (1946-47) provides a complete record of LU’s wartime fixtures, with a small section on City too. #lufc #mot #alaw

Our pleasure πŸ™ . The mag only lasted 10 issues, but thanks to a benevolent collector, we have all 10 available on our Flickr account for you to read. It’s stirring stuff! Be sure to follow us on here, X, and Flickr where there’s lots more Peacock history. And please share πŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ€

Inside Blue & Gold, photos galore, United star John Charles, the Story of the Milburns, A League is born, LUSC page, features on Major Frank, Harold Williams and a team photo. What a bargain! #lufc #lusc #mot #alaw

A new independent mag cost 1 shilling, launched in Oct 1949 for the fans, 16 pages, no adverts, except by LUFC for season tickets (Β£6 & Β£4 4s!)
Much more news than the club prog, a magnificent publication, now rare and expensive for collectors to find. #lufc #mot

We started the free Leeds United Nostalgia Flickr account one year ago, sharing this wonderful 1949-50 Official Handbook. It’s quite a read. A Leeds City history, Ivan Sharpe writes, LUSC β€˜To Help-Not Hinder’. There’s stats in there too! #lufc #mot #alaw

72-73 A gorgeous find, a complete YEP log book! Match details carefully cut from the YEP & stuck in. Owner makes astute observations (Cup Final!) and regarded Jack’s testimonial on a par with FL matches, unlike the YEP! Pure LU Treasure #lufc #mot #alaw

Issue 5 of The Hanging Sheep. The 88-89 season is ending, who knows what next season holds?! Peter Barnes, Kenny Burns, say no to ID Cards! Toilet Trivia, Wilko the One? Away Daze. Quality writing all the way. #lufc #mot #alaw

In 53-54 Leeds held 10 floodlit matches at ER. The β€˜programmes’ are included in our Flickr album. There’s a wonderful fan account in @jonhowe1971.bsky.social magnificent book, The Only Place For Us. Report from the YEP. Exciting times! #lufc #mot #floodlightfriday

53-54. New manager Horatio Carter arrives and so do floodlights. More of a coup is lead writer former Leeds City & Utd player Ivan Sharpe. A true football polymath, it’s like getting @henry-winter.bsky.social or @jamesjamesbrown.bsky.social to edit your new fanzine!

52-53, boozy ads behind the boring cover in the LU home progs. Andy McCall, father of Leeds fan Stuart, features in #1. Bob Paisley plays at ER in Liverpool friendly. Big John is 21. Forest abandoned, was it the last ER abandonement? #lufc #mot #alaw

#3 of The Hanging Sheep is here. This zine really did hit the ground running, superb content from the off. β€˜Leeds Set Sail-Howard’s Way’ a real 80s reference, they hit the nail in the head, prophetically predicting a bright future! #alaw #lufc #mot #wilko92

We’ve got #2 of LU fanzine β€˜The Hanging Sheep’ on our LU Nostalgia Flickr. From 88, Billy has just been sacked, but no Wilko yet. A real quality publication as fanzines really began to be heard. Anyone got #1 that we could share? #lufc #mot #alaw

There was little churn in the FKS Leeds pages of their early Soccer Stars collections. We’ve got the five seasons from 1968-69 through to 1972-73 to view here on our Flickr account. More will follow. The circular Billy is not to scale!

Every youngster loves a sticker book. Before Panini & Topps (to follow), we had FKS’s stamp albums. Glue the top of the stamp then lift up for the biog. I don’t have their 1st one from 67-68, but subsequent sets will be added here. #mot #lufc #alaw
