United pub is base for Wilko statue campaign
Yorkshire Evening Post
|September 20, 2025
One of our city's most historic pubs has become the headquarters for a campaign to properly honour a Leeds United legend.
The Old Peacock on Elland Road has been the watering hole of choice for Whites fans for generations thanks to its location directly across the road from the football stadium. This week it was announced that the pub had been temporarily renamed in honour of Patrick Bamford, and the association with Leeds United is at the heart of the owners' decision to get behind the WILKO92 cause.
A supporter-led campaign, WILKO92 aims to raise funds in order to build a statue of Howard Wilkinson, who took Leeds into the top flight and then won it two years later.
