Memories from the day Leeds United won the First Division title

Sunday, April 26, 1992, will live long in the memory for a generation of Leeds United fans.

The Whites beat Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in a five goal nail-biter thanks to goals from Jon Newsome, Rod Wallace and an own goal from Brian Gayle.

That win meant Manchester had to win at Anfield to keep their hopes alive. An early Ian Rush strike and a late Mark Walters goal ensured a 2-0 defeat handing Leeds their first championship for 18 years.

Your YEP was at Lee Chapman's house to capture the moment that meant so much to so many. The striker watched the Liverpool win with teammate David Batty, Gary McAllister and Eric Cantona on his settee.

We have asked the Elland Road faithful to remember what they were doing when they heard the news that the title belonged to Leeds.

The following month Leeds city centre was turned white, yellow, and blue as more than 150,000 people turned out to watch the club parade the Division One trophy through the streets on an open-topped bus.

“Memories like these can’t be bought," admitted manager Howard Wilkinson. "There’ll never be another day like this."

And right-back Mel Sterland would also recall of the occasion: "You had people up trees and hanging from lampposts.

"The streets were packed. Young kids, old men - it felt like the whole city came out to see us that day. In some ways we were amazed, but that’s how much a title means."
