 Leeds City F.C. - Definition 

Leeds City F.C. were the leading professional association football club in Leeds, England before World War I.

Formed in 1904, they were elected to the Football League in 1905. In 1912, they appointed Herbert Chapman as secretary, a role that then also carried the modern responsibilities of manager and coach. There ensued a sequence of financial irregularities, including breaking the ban on paying players during World War I, that led to the club's dissolution in 1919.

In the wake of their demise, Leeds United F.C. were formed, and entered the Football League the following year.
