League Cup 1995 1996 Final Aston Villa Leeds United
Finale24 March 1996
Wembley Stadium
Gary Speed came through the youth ranks at Leeds, making his first team debut in May 1989 as a 19-year-old. He quickly established himself, first on the left wing and eventually as a combative midfielder, thanks to his good touch and excellent game awareness. Speed’s qualities helped Leeds to climb out of the old Second Division as Champions in 1990 and he then made 41 appearances in manager Howard Wilkinson’s side that won the First Division title in 1992. Speed moved from Leeds to the club he supported as a boy, Everton, at the end of the 1995-96 season and was even made club captain, but he was on the move again in 1998, this time to Newcastle. After a spell at Bolton he joined Sheffield United in 2008, first as a player, then coach before taking over as manager in late 2010. After just two months in the job at Bramall Lane he took over from John Toshack as Wales boss.
Leeds United Season Review 2001 2002
It was a season so keenly anticipated by all Leeds United fans. It was a season they will never forget. Life on the Leeds roller coaster was littered with gr goals and unforgettable moments of joy and despair. The high profile trials of Jonathan Woodgate and Lee Bowyer came to an end just as the club was attempting to win its first trophy since 1992. David O'Leary admitted it was the most demanding J period of his managerial life. He remains com that he and everybody else at Elland Road will be better for the experience. Off the field, the club's supporters voting almost unanimously for a move to a new ground. New signings Robbie Fowler and Seth Johnson were brought in to strengthen the squad, Fov. 2001-02 as top scorer with twelve Premiersh for the club in just over half a season. There was much to celebrate at Elland Road thanks, finally, to a spirited end of season run-in that saw the club grab fifth position in the Premiership, focusing trie fans' belief j that their Leeds team would soon be back in the Champions 1 League, ready to return to the glory of their former days and cut a new story of footballing achievements in the twenty-first century.
Leeds United The Story so Farwith
Dans les dernières années du XXe siècle, l'Europe du football est revenue au stade d'Elland Road; c'était l'une des meilleures nouvelles constatées dans le monde du ballon rond. Dans le comté du West Yorkshire, et surtout à Leeds, sa capitale de près de 500 000 habitants, on commençait à sérieusement désespérer. Pourquoi laisser la mainmise sur le football anglais à Manchester United, Liverpool ou encore Arsenal ? Mais historiquement, le club de Leeds City, fondé en 1904 et devenu Leeds United AFC en 1919 après la dissolution du précédent pour malversations financières, n'a jamais véritablement pesé sur ce sport en Angleterre. Ses temps forts se situent dans les années 1960 et 1970 - l'âge d'or, même si la première superstar locale, le Gallois John Charles, a porté le maillot blanc dans les années 1950, avant de partir en 1957 pour la Juventus Turin. Donc, à Leeds, tout commence véritablement avec les années 1960. Le club est revenu en première division en 1956, et un ancien milieu de terrain, Don Revie, devient l'entraîneur du club du Yorkshire en 1961. C'est le début de la belle histoire.

Finale
28 Mai 1975
Parc des Princes
La vingtième finale de la Coupe d'Europe a été offerte à Paris par l'Union Européenne, en hommage à l'idée française de création de l'épreuve. En hommage aussi à la première finale qui opposait, en 1956, le glorieux Stade de Reims au prestigieux Real Madrid. C'était le temps de Kopa, Jonquet, Di Stefano, Gento. C'était presque le temps du cinéma muet. Mais que le football était beau et le coup de pied joyeux en ces vertes années européennes ! La finale 1975 oppose Bayern de Munich à Leeds United, deux champions des deux plus puissants pays de football du continent. Il a fallu attendre vingt ans cette finale germano-anglaise qui semble pourtant couler de source. C'est que ces deux pays, et surtout l'Angleterre, n'ont pas cru les premiers, et autant que les Latins, au succès d'une épreuve qui subjugue des millions d'hommes. On attend monts et merveilles de ce Bayern-Leeds : les matches entre Allemands et Anglais ont toujours fait des étincelles et des bulles de toutes les couleurs. Souvenez-vous de la finale de Coupe du Monde 1966, du match de Léon en 1970 et du formidable quart de finale de Coupe d'Europe des Nations en 1972!

Leeds United The Greatest Ever Team
When winger Arthur Graham signed for Leeds United from Aberdeen (or £100,000 in the close season, he became the latest in a long line of Scots to join the ranks of the Northern club, all seeking football fame and glory. Leeds have had a long association with Scottish footballers, stemming from the days when Bobby Collins led them to promotion from the Second Division in 1964. Middlesbrough's Terry Cooper, the former England international whose career with Leeds in an ever changing Tartan athmosphere, has definite view of the key players at Elland Road were — and are - Scottish. He says: "Don Revie had a tremendous scouting system operating in Scotland. He believed there was a wealth of untapped talent North of the border. "And when he bought players, he often went for known Scots. Collins was one of the Scots Ravie bought. He joined the club in March, 1962, from Everton. At the time Collins had won 28 international caps. He added three more to that with Leeds in the twilight of a colourful career.

Mais à Leeds, il y a une (triste) tradition. Oui, le club tourne bien ; oui, l'équipe figure parmi les meilleures du pays, mais voilà, il y a toujours un souci, un problème, un contretemps, une hésitation, et Leeds n'obtiendra jamais, ainsi, le statut de grand d'Europe. Leeds United, c'est un club de très bon niveau, pas un « monstre ».

Charity shield 1974 Leeds liverpool
10 Aout 1974
Wembley Stadium
There wasn’t much goodwill, and precious little football on show, the first time the Charity Shield was held at Wembley. Liverpool beat Leeds United on penalties but the result hardly mattered. The match disintegrated into a series of niggling fouls and ill-tempered clashes, culminating after an hour in a stand-up fist fight between Liverpool’s Kevin Keegan and Leeds captain Billy Bremner. Sent off, they threw their shirts to the ground as they left the field, an image that went around the world and brought condemnation. It was a bitter disappointment for Ted Croker, the FA secretary, whose idea it was that from 1974 the match would pit the champions against the FA Cup holders at Wembley. He made sure that Bremner and Keegan, the first players sent off at Wembley, knew they had disgraced English football. Instead of the usual one- or two-match ban, they were each suspended for 11 games and fined £500, a huge sum in those days.
