2025-26 | Issue 02

This is the second issue of TSB’s 36th season and Leeds United’s 2025/26, erm, title-winning campaign? Maybe not, but we’ll happily take a place in the Champions League.

It’s a wonder what a three goals and three points can do to your mood, and our cover is a celebration of our new number 9 and scorer of Leeds’ first Premier League goal from open play this season, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, by Shannon Marriott.

Inside the mag, you’ll find from your favourite regular contributors:

• Rob Conlon watches back the 96/97 season review and amid the gloom of such a dour campaign discovers an unintentionally comedic masterpiece 
• Paddy Gunn asks when Leeds United will start taking the Women’s team seriously and give them the help they need to prosper
• Luke Brennan gets to know Sam Rodon through his Vinted profile and gets dangerously close to catfishing Big Joe’s big brother
• Chris McMenamy on thirty years of thunder — Tony Yeboah’s thunderbastard at Wimbledon that has crossbars around the country still trembling three decades on
• Plus making football shit again, deciphering the deadline day PR spin, a first away day and our proud heritage of hitting the first man from corners
