Since
the Football League started in 1920 Cardiff City and Leeds United have met 37 times. Seven
of those games were in the FA Cup. Leeds are leading the FA Cup race 4 - 3. Most
remarkable though is the three games that Cardiff have won against Leeds in the FA Cup.
Three consecutive seasons the Bluebirds went to Elland Rd in the third round and three
times came away with a 2 - 1 victory. Leeds though have won the last three, the most
recent being in 1975. The last FA Cup game at Ninian Park was a 2 - 0 win for the
Yorkshiremen in 1972. Worringly City have never scored an FA Cup goal against Leeds in the
Capital.
