There have been some strange goings on at Leeds United AFC over the years & the David Livermore saga was just one of them. At the beginning of the 2006/2007 season, Kevin Blackwell was forced to try pick up the pieces of the Play Off final “No Show” at Cardiff & money was at a premium. After [...]

The 1988/1989 season was a period of transition at Elland Road. Having taken charge in October, Sgt Wilko was imposing his brand of football on the club & slowly putting plans in place for a crack at promotion a season later.

There can be few – if any – loan signing over the last 20 years who could claim to have had a bigger impact on Leeds United AFC than a certain Anthony Yeboah. The Whites paid Eintracht Frankfurt an initial “loan” fee of £800,000 to take Yeboah till the end of the 1994/1995 season. The [...]

After the “Molegate” farce, “Lutongate” was next to put a dent in Dennis Wise’s fight for survival in 2006/2007.
