No.7: Tommy Wright

With Tommy Wright we're immediately into hybrid territory, writes Moxco.

No.7: Philemon Masinga

Gordon Strachan's no.7 shirt was always going to be too tiny for Tony Yeboah, writes Moxco.

No.7: Robbie Keane

'Why did Robbie Keane wear the number 7 for Leeds?' asks Moxco. Keane seems as confused as everyone else.

Make a f*cking run!

No.7: Mirco Antenucci

The Sick Six were superficially easy to read, writes Moxco. Antenucci was perhaps the most enigmatic of Massimo Cellino's Serie B imports.

No.7: Kemar Roofe

Nobody was sure exactly what Kemar Roofe was exactly for, writes Moxco, then it all made perfect sense.

Hull City 0-0 Leeds United: Fun, interrupted

A goalless draw by the docks? Now the form just looks that bit more meh, and Rodon won't be available, and Gnonto got injured, and Piroe didn't score...

Millwall 0-3 Leeds United: It’s just right

Leeds have come back looking like a normal team, making pleasant work of playing football instead of insisting on hard, losing ways.

We never win

Since we last met: Millwall

'Y'know, I've heard a lot about the atmosphere, and I gotta be honest with you, bring it on, man (weird chuckle), bring it on (obtuse anecdote about college basketball)'

Since we last met: Ipswich Town

Whatever the feelings about our manager across the East Anglian barricades, I just hope they leave little Sam Byram out of it. But what else is there between us and Ipswich?

Profit, loss & loans

Don’t make me do the maths

Transfers are supposed to be easy, but more deals are sounding to me more and more complicated, and I don't just mean Leeds United's loan-clause/FFP drama.

  • Big Jack and Don wanted the Cup
  • Paul Trevillion wanted to thrill
  • Elland Road, 1972 —
  • 50 days that changed Leeds United forever

A 160 page special publication by The Square Ball, Paul Trevillion and Leeds United Supporters’ Trust, to celebrate Leeds United winning the Centenary FA Cup in 1972.

When Don Revie picked up the phone to call Paul Trevillion, he thought he was getting a public relations expert. What he got instead was a true born artist, a whirlwind of ideas and action, a charismatic tempest. Revie soon nicknamed him, ‘The Beaver’.
