Leeds United are using the nostalgic pull of the club's glorious past to help people in the city living with dementia.

The club’s charitable arm, the Leeds United Foundation, runs a regular scheme called the Corner Flag Café where dementia sufferers are encouraged to read through old Leeds programmes, look at vintage souvenirs and watch footage of matches from yesteryear to try to stimulate their memories.

A recent get-together proved particularly noteworthy as it was attended by Leeds-born Kalvin Phillips, one of the current crop of Elland Road stars aiming to follow in the footsteps of great United sides like the all-conquering Don Revie-managed line-up of the 1960s and 1970s.
