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 manager of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness.

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.

You can help to keep Leedsista going by signing up for the newsletter for free, becoming a paying member, buying books or merch like t-shirts and mugs, or sending a one-off tip.

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
