99 years old :) Oh boy, there have certainly been some up's and downs, some highs and some very lows during my time supporting our wonderful club since the 1970's. Happy birthday to my beloved Leeds united :scar1 :clapp: :scarfe2: :clape:

Hmmm... bit unsure on this.
They were going for years before, as Leeds city.
Started as Leeds United when they got banned for paying players !!

You are correct Haighy. Leeds City did indeed get banned for illegal payments and were disbanded. But, in 1919, the football club as we know it, 'Leeds UNITED' came together and was born. So, it really is Happy Birthday 'Leeds United'..... :)

Wouldn't it be fitting if we celebrated 100 years back in the Premier League. Here's hoping....
