Ten and half things you never knew about Leeds

1. Leeds is the largest city in Yorkshire

2. Leeds United play in a white strip. White shows up grass and mud stains clearer than any other widely-used football kit colour. Hence the team is frequently referred to as "dirty Leeds".

  • The word 'Anvil' is reputed never to have been spoken within a two mile radius of the main bus terminus in Leeds city centre. Nobody knows why, there was a rumour that an old lady tried it in 1984 but before she could complete the first syllable she swallowed her dentures and sadly died.

    Locals attribute this to an old story involving a witch, a naked blacksmith and a phallically shaped fence post.
