The club's maist common nicknames ar "The Whites" an "The Peacocks". The latter stems frae the umwhile name o the Elland Road, The Auld Peacock Ground, which wis in turn named efter The Auld Peacock pub opposite Elland Road's South Stand an The New Peacock pub which stood behind the North staund (whaur the M621 nou runs). Awtho the club name bears the "AFC" suffix, the current badge displays "LUFC". Houiver, previous badges hae included the offeecial suffix in its entirety.

Unner the management o Don Revie during the 1960s an 1970s, Leeds wan twa First Division titles, the FA Cup, the League Cup an the Inter-Ceeties Fairs Cup twice. Efter Revie's departure tae manage the Ingland team, Leeds wur relegated tae the Seicont Division in 1982, nae returnin tae the tap flight until 1990, when thay wur managed bi Howard Wilkinson. Leeds wur league champions twa seasons later, in 1992.
