A VERY SPECIAL PIECE OF FOOTBALL HISTORY!
These boots were worn by Mr John Greenwood during the 1920s/30s – a fascinating little piece of footballing history!
John played for two different teams, one on a Saturday and another on a Sunday. In those days, players couldn’t be registered with two clubs, so John simply used two different names to continue playing the game he loved twice a week
These wonderful boots were kindly given to me by John’s grandson and are now safely kept in the archives room at Elland Road.
But for me, football history like this deserves to be seen, shared and appreciated by future generations.
These boots shouldn’t be tucked away in an archive – they deserve a place on display in a Leeds United Museum, where supporters young and old can discover and connect with our footballing heritage. 
It’s not just about collecting things — it’s about preserving memories and protecting our history for the future
