Absolutely delighted to announce that my first book ‘As Leeds Go Marching On’ will be published by @orionbooks on 14 August. All the best facts, stories and stats from across our history, including the full tale of the 2024-25 title win... hope people enjoy it! #lufc

Debayo leaves as one of three players in the club's history to play one league game and be subbed on in the final minute of it (v Swansea in Nov 2024), along with Martin Woods (Boxing Day 2004 v Sunderland) and Sonny Perkins (Aug 2023 v Cardiff). #lufc
🤝 #LUFCU21s defender James Debayo has left the club upon the expiry of his contract this summer All the best for the future, James! 🤍 #LUFCYouth | #LUFC
Igor Paixão's ranking in the 2024-25 Dutch Eredivisie... #lufc 2nd for goals (16) 2nd for goals & assists (16 goals, 10 assists) 2nd for shots on target (43) =1st for open play chances created (54) 3rd for dribbles (139) 2nd for touches in opp. box (186)

A first-team appearance by Jonny Howson next season will mean that someone who made an appearance alongside Gary Kelly has played for Leeds in every decade from the 1970s onwards (John Lukic in the 1970s, most recent was Danny Pugh in May 2014). #lufc

Anton Stach is ranked in the top-four in the Bundesliga across the last two seasons for... #lufc Interceptions (120, 1st) Tackles (142, 4th) Possession won (393, 3rd) Duels won (381, 4th)


Of the many stats in Bamford's time at Leeds, I think my favourite will always be that he is the all-time top scorer under Marcelo Bielsa in his entire managerial career (45 goals in 117 games). #lufc
Thanks for the memories Patrick Bamford. #lufc
Received a physical copy of my book today, one of the proudest moments of my life I am not ashamed to admit. Big dream of mine for many years and now a reality. Out August 14 and would love people to enjoy it! #lufc amazon.co.uk/As-Leeds-Go-Ma…

This game saw Leeds United have their best passing accuracy in a Championship match under Marcelo Bielsa, 87.8%. No mean feat in the circumstances… #lufc
5 years ago today Derby County gave Leeds a guard of honour at home when a hungover Leeds team took the piss in a comfortable win. Followed by some breakdancing on the pitch from a drunk @Cli5hy #lufc
171 Premier League appearances already for Longstaff. The last time we were in the Premier League, the only new signings with 50+ PL apps were Dan James and... Joel Robles (51 and 52 apps respectively). Hopefully that experience will be key. #lufc
✍️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻! Sean Longstaff becomes our fifth signing of the summer, after joining from Newcastle
Saw this tonight… superb from start to finish, brilliantly written, superbly acted & a nostalgia overload for Leeds fans living through that era. So many laughs alongside great pathos. Any Leeds fans who haven’t, go and see it before it ends next Saturday. #lufc

Exciting times... my first book As Leeds Go Marching On is now complete & has gone to print. All the stats and stories behind the history of the club, plus all manner of other quirkiness in there. Out on August 14 and available to pre-order geni.us/AsLeedsGoMarch…. #lufc

From New Year's Day 2024 until the end of the 2024-25 season, Junior Firpo got the most assists of any player in the Championship (18) and across the top four tiers of English football, only Mohamed Salah was more creative (21 assists). #lufc
🤍 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿! He came from Spain and won a cup again! #LUFC wishes Junior all the best, after confirming he will leave at the end of his contract
Will be the first Leeds United player whose name contains all five vowels since Paudie O’Connor in April 2018. (Yes, I am looking forward to the football season starting) #lufc
🚨 Leeds United are close to the signing of Sebastiaan Bornauw (26) from Wolfsburg for just €6 million. Medical is already booked for today. 49ers still showing they work so quietly. #LUFC | @GrahamSmyth
Leeds were drawn at home against Cardiff in the FA Cup in three consecutive seasons in the 1950s. The scores were. #lufc Leeds 1-2 Cardiff - 1955/56 Leeds 1-2 Cardiff - 1956/57 Leeds 1-2 Cardiff - 1957/58
What is a football fact or statistic that seems fake but is actually real?
The first Leeds United player to score a league goal after Jaka Bijol was born in February 1999 was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who is also the most recent player to play for Leeds who has all the letters of 'Bijol' in his name. Welcome Jaka. #lufc
✍️ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝗸𝗮! We are delighted to announce defender Jaka Bijol has joined the club from Udinese
Delighted to contribute to @TheSquareBall and their champions special - the magazine from start to finish is a proper work of art. #lufc



Read this earlier and all I could hear in my head was the “we do analysis, too” from Lampard after Spygate. #lufc

I was at this game but so low down behind the goal I couldn’t appreciate this pass until seeing it on a replay on the bus home. Pablo Hernandez was a genius. #lufc
What is you're favourite assist of all time?
