The football community and Leeds, in particular, was thrown into turmoil in the autumn of 1919 when Leeds City FC, of the Football League Second Division, was expelled from the League. The club's players were dispersed by auction and the club itself was forced into "extinction". This concise e-book gives an account of the sudden and catastrophic shut-down of Leeds City FC followed by the almost instant arrival of Leeds United FC. Included are some expanded details of the main "players" and influences, plus details of the intrigues and the personalities involved. It also contains relevant league tables for City and United and tells how Huddersfield Town FC and Yorkshire Amateur FC fit into the story which led to the birth and early days of Leeds United.
