From the publisher:
This is the seventh issue of The Square Ball’s 36th season and Leeds United’s 2025/26 definitely-not-ending-in-relegation-and-holy-fuck-we’re-also-winning-the-FA-Cup campaign.
Well, just as we were preparing ourselves for an agonising end to the season, this last week has provided quite the twist, eh? Obviously it’s still going to be agonising, because it’s Leeds United, but after a long-awaited league win at Old Trafford and a trip to Wembley on the horizon it could also be… amazing?
Inside the mag, you’ll find from your favourite regular contributors:
- Luke Brennan interviews David Wetherall about how he became the “clapped-out Morris Minor” that Leeds could always rely on
- Chris McMenamy’s remarkable story on the shadowy figure who might provide the answer to exactly what happened in the 1973 European Cup Winners’ Cup final
- Jon Howe provides an extract from his excellent debut novel ‘Days Of Treacle’
- Plus taking over London, unlikely goalkeeping heroes, a happy reunion with Marcelo Bielsa and the perils of misplaced nostalgia
