MARCHING ON TOGETHER!!!!!!, 16 Jul 2001
By A Customer
What a great book this is. Written by a thirty-something fan of the club who really switches into the feel of this mighty club.We go on a journey into the past and have a look at the present - its glorious wins and glorious defeats! His staple to the whole book is Eric Cantona and his 'magic' - and how the author tries for an interview. On the way however he talks to the real heroes of Leeds, including Eddie Gray(my hero!),Norman Hunter, Peter Lorimer, John Charles and a couple of chapters on Billy Bremner and Albert Johanson who are sadly not now with us. He has a few words with our modern White Shirt wearers in Nigel Martyn, Stephen Mcphail, Micheal Bridges and Leeds Hero BATTY,BATTY - plus a really interesting piece with South African Captain Lucas Radebe. This is a brilliant piece of Football literature - very well written, so very interesting and a book all Leeds fans would love to write. Leeds Utds answer to Fever Pitch? Maybe - but in my opinion this is a unique read and a different perspective is given (Fever Pitch is brilliant in its own way!) All Leeds fans should read this. But so should ALL football fans who enjoy footballing literature - this is intelligent, funny, interesting and for this reviewer took him back to the Eighties and gave him a few prompts - Alex Sabella?!?!? The Cantona goal versus Chelsea was special but that is just a piece of this great book - Buy it.
