Leeds United: 107 years from Salem Chapel to Revie's all-white
17 Oct
Posted Bynikos0 Comment(s)88 View(s)
On 17 October 1919, football in Leeds seemed to be finished. Leeds City, the town's club, had been wound up and its players sold at auction. A few hours later, around 1,000 supporters gathered at Salem Chapel in Holbeck and founded a brand-new club: Leeds United. Today it turns 107. This is its story.
The fall of Leeds City
Leeds City played in the Second Division. After the First World War the club was accused of making illegal payments to players, and its financial records were never handed over to investigators. The Football Association and the Football League expelled it for good after just eight matches of the 1919–20 season. Its players were auctioned off at the Metropole Hotel, with the top price reaching £1,250. Newspapers of the time called it a "slave market".
The birth of United
The Salem Chapel meeting was led by the Crowther brothers, owners of Huddersfield Town. They had planned to move their own club to Leeds, but the people of Huddersfield fought back and the plan collapsed. So they backed the new club instead. Leeds United started out in the Midland League, settled at Elland Road, Leeds City's old ground, and was elected to the Football League in 1920.
From blue to all-white
The club's first colours were blue and white stripes. In 1934 it switched to blue and gold, echoing Leeds City, and kept the old nickname "Peacocks", taken from the Old Peacock pub next to the ground. The all-white strip was worn for the first time on 17 September 1960 against Middlesbrough and became official from the 1961–62 season, under manager Don Revie. Legend has it that Revie wanted Leeds to look like Real Madrid. Research, however, points to more practical reasons: blue was hard to see under floodlights, while white stood out.
The Don Revie era
Revie took a Second Division side and turned it into one of the most feared teams in Europe. Leeds won the League Cup (1968), the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup twice (1968, 1971), the FA Cup (1972) and two league titles (1968–69, 1973–74). Players such as Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton, Johnny Giles and Peter Lorimer made history in the white shirt. Revie was also one of the first managers to work with Admiral on replica shirts for supporters.
From the 1992 title to the comeback
In 1975 Leeds reached the European Cup final, losing to Bayern Munich in Paris. In 1992, under Howard Wilkinson, they won the last title of the old First Division before the Premier League was created, and in 2001 they reached the Champions League semi-finals. Financial trouble followed, and the club fell as far as the third tier. Marcelo Bielsa brought Leeds back to the Premier League in 2020 and Daniel Farke did it again in 2025, both times as Championship winners.
The Yorkshire rose
Until 1961 the team wore a badge based on the city's coat of arms. In the 1980s the badge changed several times, with one version featuring a peacock as a nod to the old nickname. In 1984 a supporters' competition produced the round badge with a football at the centre of a white Yorkshire rose. In 1998 the rose with the letters "LUFC" became the club's badge.
Celebrate with us
From a chapel full of disappointed fans, Leeds went on to become champions of England three times and European Cup finalists. Marching On Together: happy birthday, Leeds!
