From the publisher:
Hello, hello! U̶n̶i̶t̶e̶d̶ The Square Ball magazine is back with issue one of our 37th season in print.
The world of Leeds United is full of optimism, ready to anoint new heroes as we start afresh in 2026/27. But we had to celebrate one of the catalysts behind getting us here — who has promised to stay around even longer — with a superb cover illustration of Ethan Ampadu by the superb Tom Lathom-Sharp. Just look at it!
Inside the mag, you’ll find from your favourite regular contributors:
- Rob Conlon on a meeting with Leipzig in Leeds United’s first ever European campaign, and a trip behind the Iron Curtain that forced Don Revie’s young upstarts to grow up quickly
- Chris McMenamy with the sights, sounds and smells from a week in Dublin as Leeds graced the hallowed turf of Croke Park
- Dave Guile writes about the relief of Nigel Martyn never becoming England’s number one, and why he hopes for the same with James Trafford
- Plus remembering Ken Bates, the 400-year-old town charter that inspired the home shirt, a reminder to celebrate John Charles Day and being warned off drugs by Kevin Blackwell’s play-off final losers
