The Square Ball: The First Twenty Years of the Leeds United Fanzine

A twenty year history of Leeds United as captured in the pages of popular fanzine The Square Ball from its inception in 1989 through to its brief hiatus in 2008. From the highs of both First and Second Division Championship titles with Sgt. Wilkos old pros and giddy European nights with David OLearys kids to the nightmare in Galatasaray and the heartbreak of the free-fall into footballs third tier following Peter Ridsdale and the PLCs calamitous financial incompetency. Not forgetting of course a healthy dose of vitriol for our friends from over the Pennines. Written as events unfurled and without the necessary restraints of proper reporting this collection captures life at Elland Road as it actually was (or how it felt at least) in a way that writing with the benefit of hindsight can never achieve..
