James Trafford will be the first Leeds United player who shares his surname with a place in Manchester since Tyler Denton in 2017. Others include Bert Worsley, Frank and Nigel Worthington and Tom Lees. Won't hold it against him. #lufc
New paperback edition of @jrcooper26.bsky.social’s alternative history of #lufc has landed, now with added DCL on the cover. It’s out next week and if you love weird stats and trivia then this is the only book on mighty Leeds you need
Just under two weeks until the paperback version of my book is available. With a brand new chapter on the 2025-26 season and plenty of other stats and facts on 126 years of Leeds United so far… out 13 August! amzn.eu/d/0el4hlBW #lufc
Tarik Muharemović has the longest surname in Leeds United's history that alternates each letter between a consonant and a vowel. He has beaten previous record holders Zan Benedicic and Danny Milosevic. #lufc
Leeds United played exactly 1,919 league matches between our last two league wins at Old Trafford in February 1981 and tonight. A fairly significant number in our history! #lufc
Had a lot of fun writing this - some of the more obscure facts around James Milner's Premier League career as he looks to equal the appearance record this weekend. A man whose debut is closer to the 1970s than it is today. A proper legend.

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

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. geni.us/AsLeedsGoMar...
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.
SUPER DUPER JONNY COOPER. Top bloke, top statman and now top author. His book is an essential read/listen for any #lufc fans

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
No one is convincing me there’s anywhere better on earth than Yorkshire in the sunshine. God’s own.
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
