Adryan ⭑ From A-Z since '92
Massimo Cellino arrived in a blaze of guitar solos and late nights, with Adryan as the most promising of his sidekicks, and if his ownership of Leeds wasn't going to be healthy the least it could have been was fun.

This was Bielsa's point about Champions League quality. Any team, at any level, would trust Forshaw to play with them.
Clayton loved a strike. One that he placed in Leicester City's top corner from 25 yards won Leeds' goal of the season and really, really pissed Kasper Schmeichel off.
In 1971 Leeds United was not 'happily reconciled', but a club with its greatest triumphs still ahead that was already, perhaps imperceptibly, coming apart.
Here's a look behind the scenes at Elland Road close to the peak of United's greatest era, with a different focus to most looks at Leeds.
Smith, Milner, Lennon. Twenty-three, seventeen, sixteen. Rothwell, Horsforth, Chapeltown. 2004 wasn't only a battle against relegation, and liquidation, but to save the future that the club's youth prospects still teased was possible.
Welcome to the start of a project that will take approximately (checks calculations), oh, only eight years, to write about every (*most) Leeds player since 1992. And it all begins with Aapo Halme.
What we should have done then, Leeds fans and Terry Venables, was go out somewhere together (one of Terry’s nightclubs) and get hideously drunk together (so he could pick up the bill).
Gnonto's actions are disrespectful to the shirt, the badge, the city; at Harewood House, the peacocks in the woods there weep. There is something to all that. But Leeds United's history also says that, historically, we can get over it.
It was Bielsa’s Leeds, and he let us have it. It was a gift to us from a generous soul. And I, a selfish bastard, don’t want him to give anything like that gift to anybody I don’t like.
