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 bunch of flowers, the first to wave to the crowd, the second to throw at Norman Hunter.

Leedsista Libre is a free podcast by Daniel Chapman, aka Moxco/Moscowhite for stupid internet reasons. I'm a writer, of the book 100 Years of Leeds United, the film Do You Want to Win?, and of loads of things at The Square Ball, where I was also editing the magazine for yonks and talking on the TSB Podcast for years.

Since 2017 I've been reading my writing out loud for people to hear on the internet, and on Leedsista Libre I'm sharing highlights — or lowlights, this is Leeds United after all — from those years of writing.

New writing about our consistently daft Super Leeds football club can be found by visiting Leedsista.com.

Leedsista is entirely reader funded, supported by Leeds fans like you.

One of the kindest things you can do is tell your friends about Leedsista, sending them articles and podcast episodes and getting them to sign up. We still can't beat the good old word of mouth.

Thanks! MOT — Daniel/Moxco
