England has seen a number of brilliant teams taking birth on its soil and it is fair to say that Leeds are one of them. The demise of the Peacocks at the turn of the millennium is one of the most interesting stories in English football folklore.

A club that had a legacy is now back again and will try to conquer their lost glory. They missed the Premier league promotion last season by whiskers and now under Argentine maestro Marcelo Bielsa at the helm the supporters at Elland Road seem to have found their silver lining amidst the dark clouds.
