A-Z since '92 | Bruno Ribeiro

October 22, 2026 · 14 min

From June 2025 — in honour Bruno Ribeiro's birthday this week: Bruno Ribeiro took squad number 10 and took it back to its roots. His passing range, short stature and sharp tackling temper off the left were the nearest thing to a modern…
1995/96 | The new king of Elland Road: Christmas Eve, 1995

October 15, 2026 · 14 min

From Christmas of 2025, about Christmas of 1995, and visitors from over the Pennines: Leeds scored their third goal while Cantona was off the pitch, having stitches. When he finally reappeared on the touchline he was no longer Elland…
1964/65 | Losing friends: Arsenal vs Leeds

Written in 2018 — about a trip to Highbury in 1965: Arsenal's George Eastham may have been a gentle and philosophical footballer. But he was trying to stop Leeds United winning. Nothing was more provoking than that. Leedsista Libre is…
Chapeau | Lee Chapman, lost in France

October 1, 2026 · 16 min

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…
1972 | Scotland vs England, May '72 | You know what to do

September 24, 2026 · 10 min

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…

September 17, 2026 · 9 min

About May of 1994/95 — Crystal Palace were coming to Elland Road, but so was Bernd Holzenbein. He wanted Tony Yeboah back already — One of Fotherby's dreams was secure. Now for the next one. Because if Tony Yeboah could do that with…
2020/21 | Chelsea 3-1 Leeds United: Treasure

September 10, 2026 · 12 min

From December of 2020/21 — Stamford Bridge had millions of pounds and Frank Lampard; Leeds were poor, but with Marcelo Bielsa, we were happy. For how long? This weekend Leeds United did not beat Chelsea, or play very beautifully, but…

A-Z since '92 | Chris Fairclough

August 27, 2026 · 15 min

1998/99 | Golden: West Ham 1-5 Leeds United

May 21, 2026 · 11 min

From May of 1998/99 — a couple of weeks before we ruined Arsenal's title hopes, Leeds went to Upton Park and gave West Ham a really bad time: West Ham fans, whose opinion of Harte was low enough after the first half, did not enjoy his…
2021/22 | Leeds United 1-1 Brighton: One left

May 14, 2026 · 12 min

From May of 2021/22 — the penultimate game of the season, the last at home, hosting Brighton, and we're in a relegation bat — ah, never mind. If Leeds have an inspiration at the moment it's Raphinha, leading by glowering, frustrated…

May 7, 2026 · 12 min

From May of 2018/19 — about the origins of Dirty Leeds, and how Marcelo Bielsa was learning what he had inherited that must be defended: After his exasperated explanation of the implications of the FA's ruling, I expected Marcelo Bielsa…

About the show

A 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. I've been reading my writing out loud for subscribers since 2017, and this podcast feed will dip weekly into the archives to republish some of those recordings for free. To keep up with my new week-by-week writing about our intensely daft football club, please visit Leedsista.com.
