"Members of the Leeds United team showing themselves to the crowd before a match. Arguably the greatest club side in Europe, they also bring some showmanship to the occasion. It was the idea of manager Don Revie in 1972 that the team should perform warm-up exercises before a match to entertain their supporters. Other teams derided the idea but the Leeds players entered into the spirit of the idea, cavorting round the ground displaying their names to the fans, and returning after a match to throw their name-bearing stocking tags into the crowd to be snapped up by souvenir hunters."
