With Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor on the scoresheet for the first time, this is the first time in Leeds United's history three players have all scored their first goals for the club in the same game. #lufc

Gabriel Gudmundsson has scored just the second 90th minute own goal in a 1-0 game in Premier League history, and the first for thirty years. #lufc

Leeds have made 23 changes to their starting lineups so far this season - the joint most after five matches (in all competitions) in a season in the club's history. #lufc

Two weeks to go until release date... all the stats on last season's title win, the Bielsa era, why Don Revie's Leeds were the best side in England & Europe... and the only player whose name you can spell without using the top row of a QWERTY keyboard. #lufc www.amazon.co.uk/As-Leeds-Go-... #lufc

Feels so good to have a physical copy of this now… excited for everyone to read it. Tom has been heroic helping me get to this stage, not long to go until it’s out… really proud of the final book. #lufc

Tom Noble @tomnoble.bsky.social · Jul 23

It’s here… and it’s perfect. @jrcooper26.bsky.social’s alternative history of the mighty #lufc, out 14 August. I know what a huge labour of love it’s been for Jonny, so if you’re a Leeds fan (or just someone who loves mad stats) please get behind him and give it a read.

You won’t regret it! One of those books where if you said what happened you’d be greeted by “absolutely no chance”… and yet it all did. It’s brilliantly bonkers and so entertaining. Hope you enjoy!

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · Jul 13

Once you get past the author trying to tell the coach (who I’ve later learned is the Italian Warnock with a promotion record) who he should be playing… it’s brilliant isn’t it. So much to take in.

Jonny Cooper @jrcooper26.bsky.social · Jul 13

Every time I re-read this book I forget how utterly bonkers it is… and remain amazed it’s not been made into a documentary. Brilliant book & still my all time favourite. Even once recommended it to former Leeds full back Paul Connolly in Tesco.

The first Leeds United player to score a league goal after Jaka Bijol was born in February 1999 was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who is also the most recent player to play for Leeds who has all the letters of 'Bijol' in his name. Welcome Jaka. #lufc

Archie Gray tonight was the youngest Englishman to end on the winning side in a European final since an 18-year-old Gary Mills in the 1980 European Cup final.

Playing alongside Mills that day? Gray's grandad, Frank Gray. #lufc

Josuha Guilavogui leaves Leeds United with the club record for most league games played without losing (16), the best league win percentage (87.5%) and the most league games played at Elland Road with a 100% win ratio (9/9). Lovely man. #lufc
