Leeds United Association Football Club, commonly referred to as simply Leeds United or Leeds, are an English professional football club based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The club's home is the Elland Road stadium in Beeston, where they have played since their foundation in 1919. The club has competed at the top level of English football for the majority of its existence, following the disbanding of its predecessor Leeds City. However, Leeds are competing in League One for the 2007-08 season. This is the first time the club has dropped below the top two tiers of domestic football in England.
Under the management of Don Revie during the 1960s and 1970s, Leeds won a number of domestic and European trophies. After Revie's departure to manage the England team, Leeds were relegated to the Second Division in 1982, not returning to the top flight until 1990, when they were managed by Howard Wilkinson. Leeds were league champions two seasons later, in 1992.
The club's most common nicknames are "Leeds", "United" or "The Whites". Another one is "The Peacocks", though this is virtually obsolete. This term stems from the former name of the Elland Road, The Old Peacock Ground, which was in turn named after The Old Peacock pub across the road . Although the club name bears the "AFC" suffix , the current badge displays "LUFC". However, previous badges have included the official suffix in its entirety .
