Organised by Leeds City Council, the National Football Museum and Leeds United, A Game of Two Halves kicks off at Leeds Museum on Saturday, July 18 and, as the name suggests, is in two parts.

The first part of the exhibition, Saved for the Nation, charts the history of the FA Cup while the second, Marching on Together, tells the story of Leeds United.

Saved for the Nation features an amazing collection of rarely seen memorabilia and charts the players, goals, glory and controversy which make up the rich history of the world's most famous cup competition.

The centrepiece is sure to be the oldest surviving version of the trophy, which is now on public display for the first time in 95 years.

This version was presented to the winners every year between 1896 and 1910, and was donated to the National Football Museum in 2005 after being bought by Birmingham City chairman David Gold.

Another eye-catcher is sure to be a collection of shirts worn by some of the heroes of the FA Cup - most notably the shirt Allan Clarke wore to score the famous goal that won Leeds the cup in 1972.

A Game of Two Halves is devoted to Leeds United and tells the story of the club through the years. With amazing photography, familiar faces and many unseen items of memorabilia from the club's recent and distant past, the exhibition charts significant dates and events including Leeds's most recent adventures in Europe.

The exhibition isn't just the chance to look at memorabilia, however, there will also be the chance for fans to create their own dream team, re-live some glorious moments watching the 100 greatest FA Cup goals or show off their own skills by taking on the keepy-uppy challenge.

The exhibition is part of the Summer of Fun in Leeds, with details of all the council-managed free or low-cost events and activities going on around the city able to be accessed through the new web portal at www.leeds.gov.uk/summeroffun.

A Game of Two Halves starts at Leeds City Museum on Saturday, July 18 and runs until January 10. Admission is £2.20 for adults, £1.20 for Under-16s, NUS and senior citizens, while a family ticket (two adults three children) is £5. Under fives are free.

LEEDSCard, Breezecard, Leeds United season ticket holders and club members can also benefit from a 20 per cent discount (this cannot be used in conjunction with the family ticket).
