From the publisher:
This is the sixth issue of The Square Ball’s 36th season and Leeds United’s 2025/26 definitely-not-ending-in-relegation campaign.
But we’re taking a break from the present day concerns at Elland Road, because 25 years ago Leeds United swaggered around Europe on their way to the Champions League semi-finals. Nobody ever mentions it, so we’ve taken a big look back at the adventures of the campaign.
Inside the mag, you’ll find from your favourite regular contributors:
- Rob Conlon chats to Eirik Bakke about his journey from Norway’s second tier to battling against Europe’s elite in the space of eighteen months
- Gaizka Mendieta outs Joe Brennan as a Leeds fan and tells him all about that semi-final with Valencia
- Chris McMenamy recalls asking for some help from the heavens against Real Madrid only to get a cold, hard slap in the face
- Plus conquering Rome, crying ourselves to sleep, a best XI of opponents Leeds faced and Olivier Dacourt sucking a lollipop
