More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In his dedication to Leeds United, Gary Edwards has no rivals. He has seen every Leeds game since 17 January 1968, home and away. League, Cup and Europe. And pre-season friendlies. He even watches the reserves in his spare time. Following Leeds, he's been there, done that and designed the T-shirt. Although a painter and decorator/signwriter/cartoonist, he's made the time to be a full-time football fan. He's made a name for himself covering white paint over red for free. He's visited every country in Europe, every continent in the northern hemisphere and half those in the south. Travelling the world to watch hundreds of players run around acres of grass, he's also found time to drink gallons of ale, see oceans of flesh and protect hundreds of animals. Yes, he's saved lobsters in Barcelona, clay pigeons in Worksop, frogs in Kuala Lumpur and worms - yes, worms - in Yorkshire. He's been shot at in Greece, run over in Denmark, frightened the king in Sweden and had a beer with an elephant in Bangkok. All this and still found the time to never miss a match or another chance to rid the world of the evil that is red in all its forms. Behind him is almost four decades of Leeds, lunacy, laughter and white paint. "Paint It White" is Gary Edwards' own unique account of the scrapes, adventures and moments of comedy that a life's passion for Leeds United have brought him.

PAINT IT WHITE,
By MR PHIL BAGULEY (MANCHESTER) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paint it White: Following Leeds Everywhere (Paperback)
The author's words sent me back to the 80's when I followed Leeds everywhere, also his tales of recent european travel brought back memories of great times which are unlikely to be repeated. His mentions of the various characters from my past Para Dave and Marion Fudge (God Bless)bring memories flooding back, I was known as Manc and used to make the trip over the pennines in the eighties, nineties and now to watch Leeds and this book is like reliving these times and is the best book i have read on years.
