Graham Hyde, board support for the trust, said: "In my lifetime I don't recall such a comprehensive collection in one place regarding Leeds United football club.

"There are various sections including a video board to choose your favourite goal and a chance to choose your own Leeds United XI.

"There is also the opportunity to write your own memories, something which in another 100 years time could become part of the next exhibition.

"We have enough items to potentially fill half the room again so it may well change during the course of the exhibition.
