57 Years ago today

Whilst I don't subscribe to the theory that the authorities have it in for Leeds, I do believe that certain members of the FA hated Leeds during the Revie era. Why else were we forced to play the 1971/72 title decider on the Monday, two days after winning the FA Cup final?

I've been slowly making an image of The Don over the last month or so, it's made up of 200 leeds players faces

Without Don's legacy - a few on here especially non Leeds born, wouldn't be fans.

Some of the decisions that went against us were just downright bizarre- the WBA one that cost us dearly, Jeff Astle where he was miles offside still rankles after all these years - watch it on YouTube if you can stand the pain.

Love Don more than anything to do with Leeds and could go into depth about decisions that cost us trophies both on and off the pitch, what would today’s managers say about having to play a champions league semi final (Celtic) on a Wednesday and a vital league away game (West Ham) the next day, said it before Don just didn’t build a team he built a city,

Great job there Rawdon, reminds me of this, of which I have a copy

Rawson - should have said that's art for the people MOT

Cheers Jonty, did you see my periodic table up there too? I thought I'd try use the faces for different stuff seeing as I'd done them all 😂 I never realised that parody had been done already, but mine has some sweet hairdos in it.

Some common inspiration there perhaps.

Or the first leg of the Euro Cup on Weds 1st April and a league game at Derby on Thursday 2nd April!

We got no favours at all!

No favours at all. This article explains it well
