2025-26 | Issue 04 | bumper ’92 midfield special

This is the fourth issue of The Square Ball’s 36th season and Leeds United’s 2025/26 definitely-not-ending-in-relegation campaign — but we’re not going to worry about that here.

As we all know December 25th is the birthday of our Lord and saviour, Gary McAllister, so what better way to celebrate than a magazine devoted to the midfield that defined Leeds United becoming the Last Champions of English football?

This mini-special, which comes with a choice of one of four covers, features over fifty pages more than a regular issue and has a lovely spine, so the cover price is slightly more expensive at £4 (all that for just a quid extra!). It’s still included in your annual subscription though, so for the best deal sign up to TSB+ Mag and get our regular magazines for £1 per issue (plus postage).

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

• Bryn Law on following Leeds United and Wales and his friendship with Gary Speed
• The Hitchers’ Niall Quinn tells Rob Conlon about the “bastard hangover” that inspired one of the greatest football songs of all time — ‘Strachan’
• What we can learn about life from the best and funniest quotes in David Batty’s autobiography
• Tony Dorigo lifts the lid on sharing pitches and changing rooms with each player
• Calum Archibald explains why, growing up supporting Leeds and Scotland, Gary McAllister was footballing royalty as both player and manager
