Product Description
Product Description
Eddie Gray was among the most skilful and exciting players in Leeds United's history and whose links with the club have been further strengthened by his roles as manager, youth team coach, reserve-team coach and now assistant manager.;Gray takes readers back to his home town of Glasgow, explaining how he developed his skills as a boy and what life was like for him in the ten years in which he was not involved with Leeds and the upsurge in his fortunes since his return to the club after a ten-year absence in 1995.
About the Author
Eddie Gray MBE, was widely looked upon as a player in the same class as George Best and Jimmy Johnstone. His link with Leeds has been maintained through his appointment as assistant-manager to David O'Leary, in 1998. Jason Tomas is an experienced London-based football journalist with a soft spot for Leeds. Now attached to The Observer after a number of years with the Sunday Times, Tomas is the author of 10 books on the game - including three on Leeds.

Format:Hardcover
Although not getting the sales of the O'Leary book, this is perhaps more rounded and more interesting following as it does not only the Great team of now but also the Revie years when Leeds were at the top as well. What was interesting is that we know that the money that the top stars of the 70's came away with was not enough to retire on like today's equivelents, but the financial hardships that they faced after finishing their career is harder to imagine. This book was particularly interesting for Eddie's years in between playing and coaching for Leeds.

Whether you thought eddie gray was true footballing genius or just another player from 'that dirty leeds team' You will find this book fascinating. I started reading it and didn't stop till i'd turned the last page. Not only a book about the mans life but a wonderful insight into the game, it's up's and downs, its ability to make you scream with joy on saturday and weep with despair on a wednesday, this book takes you on a journey from the days a player was well paid at 20 quid a week to present day when £20,000 is an an average.
I loved this book, as a leeds supporter and as a football fan I found it fascinating, shame all books on football don't have this depth. a truly wonderful insight into 'Our' Game

Autobiography of a beloved Leeds legend.
Reliving the glory days with one of Revie's greats. How have the mighty fallen since his concluding words in 2002 that Leeds have the potential to be in the same bracket as Arsenal or the red devils :-( Not even the same league now.
But it is good to hear Eddie's side of the story, though it needs to be brought up to date.
