LATEST EPISODE 🔗

From Christmas of 2025, about Christmas of 1995, and visitors from over the Pennines: Leeds scored their third goal while Cantona was off the pitch, having stitches. When he finally reappeared on the touchline he was no longer Elland Road's king in absentia, but a fallen one. Tomas Brolin had take…

Written in 2018 — about a trip to Highbury in 1965: Arsenal's George Eastham may have been a gentle and philosophical footballer. But he was trying to stop Leeds United winning. Nothing was more provoking than that.    Leedsista Libre is a free podcast by Daniel Chapman, aka Moxco/Moscowhite for s…
From October of 2017, but also my whole life — chasing Lee Chapman to France, and back again: France wasn't the only nation bidding for Chapman's services when, at the end of the 1987/88 season, he was disillusioned with life at Sheffield Wednesday. The first foreign inquiry came from the general …
Going back to May 1972 — and a tackle by Norman Hunter that was, 'like a declaration of nuclear war': Perhaps the pitch invader at the start of the second half had summed the pantomime up. Emerging from the Scotland fans in a dark suit with white pocket square, he was carrying a tartan scarf and a…
About May of 1994/95 — Crystal Palace were coming to Elland Road, but so was Bernd Holzenbein. He wanted Tony Yeboah back already — One of Fotherby's dreams was secure. Now for the next one. Because if Tony Yeboah could do that with Carlton Palmer whacking the ball at him, imagine what he'd be lik…
From December of 2020/21 — Stamford Bridge had millions of pounds and Frank Lampard; Leeds were poor, but with Marcelo Bielsa, we were happy. For how long? This weekend Leeds United did not beat Chelsea, or play very beautifully, but Leeds fans are happy anyway. Why? The answer could be complex bu…
From last summer, about the summer of 1994 — and to read this and watch the videos referred to in the episode, you can click here to use a gift link for the members-only article at Leedsista. Given his translator had instructions to fight an MRI machine rather than let it scan his legs, Leeds had …
From October last year — and given we're playing Nottingham Forest every three days lately, here's something about one of my favourite players, who played for both: The acts of persuasion that Howard Wilkinson and Bill Fotherby used to tempt Chris Fairclough to Second Division Leeds United must ra…
From May of 1998/99 — a couple of weeks before we ruined Arsenal's title hopes, Leeds went to Upton Park and gave West Ham a really bad time: West Ham fans, whose opinion of Harte was low enough after the first half, did not enjoy his somersault, or that he was spinning in front of a stand full of…
From May of 2021/22 — the penultimate game of the season, the last at home, hosting Brighton, and we're in a relegation bat — ah, never mind. If Leeds have an inspiration at the moment it's Raphinha, leading by glowering, frustrated example, yelling at the crowd to give the ball back, yelling at th…
