Leeds City, was a former English football club from Leeds, Yorkshire, who were expelled from the League in 1919. City were formed in 1904 and moved into Elland Road where, in 1912, they were joined by their new manager Herbert Chapman. Before he could establish himself the First World War resulted in the club being put into the hands of the receiver. Soon after the war the revived club was rocked by a financial scandal amid allegations that certain illegal payments had been made to players during the War. When the club refused to hand over its accounts for inspection, City were found guilt of ‘irregular practices’ and expelled from the League.
