Rivalries
Leeds' biggest rivalry has been with Manchester United, due to the traditional rivalry between the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire (often described as a "War of the Roses", though the historical Wars of the Roses had little to do with geographical counties). Additionally, a fierce rivalry with Chelsea dates back to several heated and controversial matches during the 1960s and 1970s, particularly the 1970 FA Cup Final.
One of Leeds' biggest rivalries is with Turkish club Galatasaray after two Leeds fans were murdered by Galatasaray supporters before a UEFA Cup fixture in April 2000. When former Leeds player Harry Kewell moved to Galatasaray in 2008 it caused uproar with Leeds supporters.
