In this section of my website you will find a comprehensive record of all first team games played by Leeds United Football Club.
In addition, you are able to find individual records of all players that have been named on a Leeds United's team sheet for a competitive fixture. In time, I will add information on every opponent Leeds have faced.
The matches played in the Midland League (1919-20) and the Regional War League (1939-1946) will also be included in separate sections (coming soon).
I am still researching and have keyed the detail found in this database over the past seven years. I continue to trawl my way through newspapers, reference books and my extensive collection of Leeds United home and away match day programs. In addition, I have received snippets of information from various football club's historians, up and down the country.
I suppose that these things are never complete as I will always come across new bits of detail which I wasn't previously aware of.
The Football League did not record attendance figures until 1925, therefore, I have omitted the attendances from the early years. The figures are detailed in various record books and other websites but are estimated, not official and do vary.
The three games played at the start of the aborted 1939-40 season are not included within the players records. Some publications do include these games but they are not officially recognised by the Football Association/Football League. Records for the FA Cup games played during the 1945-46 campaign are recognised and do appear - as do the two FA Cup Qualifiers in 1920 (which are not officially recognised as first team fixtures)
This database is not complete at the moment and is very much work in progress. I try and complete more information and apply a consistent format on a daily basis, so please keep returning.
If you wish to provide feedback (good or bad), notice any errors or you can add any detail, please contact me.
Stay safe during these bleak times. Marching on Together.
