Format: Hardcover
What have footballers Harold Jacklin and Leonard Baker got in common? The answer is that both were former Blackpool players who joined Leeds United in the early 1920s and both are pictured in Leeds line-ups in the first few pages of a new book which forms part of the admirable Tempus Publishing series entitled Images of Sport.
Leeds United, perhaps surprisingly, were only formed in 1920 when the old city club, Leeds City, suffered expulsion from The Football League for making illegal payments to players during the First World War. And United were quick to get their name on a trophy when the club won the Division Two championship in 1923/24 when Baker played 10 games for them but Jacklin, after just one game at Blackpool, had moved on to Doncaster Rovers after just three games at Leeds!
It was to be a short stay in the higher echelons of football for the club was relegated in 1926/27 only to bounce back as runners-up in 1931/32. The 1930s thereafter saw the club hold on to their status but with only three away wins in 1936/37 it was a struggle with only a plethora of goals from South African Gordon Hodgson, 53 in 86 games in his Leeds career after 233 in 258 games for Liverpool, saved them.After a break for World War Two, it was the arrival of King John, John Charles, that saw Leeds enjoy some of their best supported years as Charles, not only a great player either up front or at the back, was a charismatic draw both home and away; it was a sad blow when Leeds had to bow to the hefty offer of £65,000 from Italian giants Juventus who enticed the gentle giant to Turin. And in Italy he once again became a folk hero with his tremendous goalscoring achievements.
