New mural will celebrate 50th anniversary of Leeds United's 1972 FA Cup triumph

Leeds United Supporters' Trust have announced the commission of their 10th LUFC mural.

The mural, which will be supported by Leeds United and Leeds' official club energy drink sponsor Boost Drinks, will aim to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1972 FA Cup winning team that beat Arsenal 1-0 at Wembley. It will be produced by Leeds artist Nicolas Dixon and famous sports artist Paul Trevillion and will feature the FA Cup winning squad members around manager Don Revie.

The mural serves as a tribute to the 1972 team and will feature David Harvey, Paul Reaney, Paul Madeley, Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton, Norman Hunter, Terry Cooper, Peter Lorimer, Allan Clarke, Mick Jones, Johnny Giles, Eddie Gray, Mick Bates, Les Cocker and Revie.

Originally, the artwork was set to be displayed in Leeds City Centre, only for planning to fall through at the final hour. However, Leeds United stepped in to help the Trust find a space for the mural, with the club offering up a stellar location outside of Elland Road.

The 43m squared mural will be painted onto the wall that sits opposite the Centenary Pavilion. It will sit close to the 'Champions' mural that was produced by Adam Duffield and Leeds midfielder Mateusz Klich.
