If you’ve watched British football at any point in the last century, you’ve seen the designs and engineering of a Scot named Archibald Leitch. The man who crafted the look and feel of British football in its infancy died without any real fanfare in 1939, but his legacy remains in the memories, legends, and the carnage of the terraces of British football.

Informative, illustrated football analysis. Home of WhiteboardFootball®.
Tifo loves football. We know there’s an appetite for thoughtful, intelligent content, for stuff that makes the complicated simple.
Our illustrated and live action KZfaq videos address all aspects of the game, including tactics, history, and the business of football.
We provide analysis on the Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, World Cup and more.
Our podcasts interview some of the game’s leading figures. And our editorial covers football with depth and insight.
Tifo Football used to be uMAXit Football - we changed our name in November 2017 to better articulate who we are and what matters to us: making football accessible to its fans through story-telling and the expertise and insight of our team of writers and producers.

As an away fan, the old stand where away fans are housed at Goodison is one of my favourite stands and Goodison is one of my favourite away grounds (even though we only win there one in a decade, on average!). I love that old stand with the wooden seats. Even having a pole in the way which means you have to stand forward and look around it, has a certain charm.

Right. As a Boro fan and a proud Middlesbrough man I have to correct you on the pronunciation of Aryresome Park. It’s just air-some park. But LOVE to see our old ground mentioned on a Tifo vid. Did he have a say on the names? If so he did like a park or two didn’t he lol But could you imagine today a stadium collapsing people dying and then the man you bring in to redesign it is the SAME guy who designed the thing that collapsed in the first place? NO WAY would that happen today lol There would be OUTRAGE. Also just randomly; I would LOVE to see a stadium sort of built into a cliff/mountain side. How awesome would that be watching a game from the top of a small mountain. So cool.
@francishuddy9462 3 жыл бұрын
Hillsborough tragedy was caused by the modern pens / fencing in the Leppings Lane end, and bad crowd management causing the middle two to become too full. (and the dangerous tunnel below the seating). And Ibrox was the awful "trap door" wooden plank terracing - later added to Roker Park - which was later replaced by filled-in solid earthern banking. Stamford Bridge's achilles heel was the giant 20ft wall at the Fulham Road / "shed" end - still there today, but only as a monument, the only trace of the old 1905 Archibald Leitch stadium. This could have collapsed, but never did.
@nstg3028 4 жыл бұрын
I always remember new to EPL players in the 90-ies and later on years, always mentioning those stadiums and the atmosphere in the interviews they gave. Managers also commented on this atmosphere in their first interviews for their clubs, as one of the reasons they came to coach in England. Sadly, the corporate editions, as flashy and beautiful they might be, lack souls and atmosphere, and I say this as an Arsenal fan ...
