Leeds United's predecessor Leeds City was formed in 1904 and elected to league membership in 1905. Leeds City were forcibly disbanded by the Football League in 1919, in response to allegations of illegal payments made to players during the First World War. Leeds City's assets were sold off on 17 October, the same day supporters gathered and voted unanimously to form Leeds United, they received an invitation to enter the Midland League, being voted into it on 31 October, taking the place vacated by Leeds City Reserves. Following Leeds City's disbanding, Yorkshire Amateurs bought their Elland Road stadium and then sold it to Leeds United for £250.
Huddersfield Town chairman Hilton Crowther loaned Leeds United £35,000 to be repaid when Leeds United won promotion to the First Division. He brought in former Barnsley manager Arthur Fairclough taking charge on 26 February 1920, replacing Dick Ray.
