Product Description
Synopsis
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars About Time Too !!, 17 Jan 2004
There's No Doubt That "THE KIPPAX" Was THE L.U.S.C Branch Of The 80s And a Book About It's Expolits Is well Overdue. I Suppose If Anyone Were Going To Write About it (And it was Often Joked About)Then It Was Always Going To Be Gary,(He Was Always An Artist And In More Ways Than One)
Any Footie Fan Who's Followed Their Team Home, Away And Abroad, Via Clapped Out Urine Soaked "let's Get There Anyhow We Can,And Keep it Cheap"Transport,Can Relate To this Book.
It's A Great Read For Footie Supporters Everywhere, Especially The First Class Leeds Fans Of the 80s Who Followed A 2nd Class Team To 3rd Rate Grounds.
Grapevine Says Garys Started Penning Volume 2. So Buy This And look out For The Next One
