"Guts". How Leeds United came to be called "Dirty Leeds".

[@timmyhamilton56]

The tag DIRTY LEEDS was actually first given after Everton v Leeds at Goodison Park in 1963, look it up...we love it the envy of so many our club is unique

I know them as 'Super Leeds' always have & always will 😁

Images in mind now of a pre match. Both sets of players in the extendable tunnels await the signal to enter the pitch. Suddenly the tunnel starts shaking. A Leeds player, like a orangutang has grabbed hold of the internal structural frame of the tunnel, and is swinging shouting, "DIRTY LEEDS, DIRTY LEEDS, DIRTY LEEDS" 🤣🤣🤣 Allioski was a legend

Check your facts Peter. They got called dirty Leeds in press releases after the battle of Goodison in 1964. They were no more or less dirty than any other team at that time, but not being from the south of England, the press persisted and the name stuck. Nothing to do with how they played the game.

'Winning machine ...' hardly. They won two league titles, one FA Cup, one League Cup and two Fairs Cups. Compare that to the Celtic side of time in the late sixties and seventies, or the Liverpool sides of the 1970s and 1980s. No comparison with trophies.

Doesn't take much to win the Scottish League hardly think beating Partick Thistle, St Johnstone and Motherwell and the likes are the most toughest of fixtures only really have to finish above Rangers to win the league

[@Mr.A.Tatlock]

They were known as dirty Leeds because they were dirty.
