Leeds United Association Football Club are an English professional football club based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. They currently compete in the Football League One for the 2007-08 season. The club was founded in 1919, following the demise of Leeds City. They play their home games at the Elland Road stadium.
Under the management of Don Revie during the 1960s and 1970s, Leeds won a number of domestic and European trophies. After Revie's departure to manage the England team Leeds were relegated to the Second Division in 1982, not returning to the top flight until 1990, when they were managed by Howard Wilkinson. Leeds were league champions in 1992.
The club's nicknames are "Leeds", "United" or "The Whites". Another nickname that is rarely used is "The Peacocks". This nickname stems from the old name of the Elland Road stadium (The Old Peacock Ground) which was named after the Old Peacock pub across the road. Although the club name bears the "AFC" suffix, the current badge displays "LUFC", however previous badges have included the official suffix.
