Leeds United F.C. History
Leeds United Football Club was formed in 1919 as a successor to Leeds City, a club which was disbanded for paying Players which was against teh rules at the time. Leeds United continued to play its home games at Elland Road. In 1920, when the Football League was expanded, Leeds were elected to the Second Division of the Football Leagueand won promotion to the first division for the first time in 1924.
Leeds results were fairly unremarkable until the 60s and the arrival of Don Revie as manager. In 1961 Leeds changed their kit to white shirts, white shorts and white socks – Real Madrid was the model. Since 1934, their dresses had been blue and yellow, and before that white and blue. Not long after securing promotion to the First Division in 1964, Leeds started dominating the local competition. During the next decade, they claimed two League titles and both English cups, while finishing runners-up to Milan in the Cup Winners' Cup. Their biggest loss would come in 1975 when they were defeated by Bayern Munich in the European Cup final noted for some cotroversial refereeing decisions.
Leeds re-emerged as a contenders in the early 90s, under Howard Wilkinson. Wilkinson was successful in bringing a number of skilled players to the club, including future stars such as Gary Speed and Eric Cantona. As a result, Leeds claimed their third League trophy, the last First Division title before the competition was renamed to Premier League. Their time in the spotlight turned out to be short-lived, however; following a huge financial meltdown at the turn of the century, Leeds were relegated to the Championship in 2004, where they still reside today. Leeds has no European Cup titles, but was in 2001 only two matches away from lifting the heaviest. After beating Deportivo in the Champions League quarter finals they faced Valencia in the semifinals. But after only 0-0 home, Leeds lost by 0-3 in the second leg.
