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. Hell, 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-cum-signwriter-cum-cartoonist, he's never taken a break from his life as a full-time football fan. He's made a name for himself covering over red paint with white for free. He's visited every country in Europe and flown all over the rest of the world to watch Leeds play. If Leeds organised a five-a-side on the moon, he'd be on the first shuttle flight there. 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. 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


About the Author

As well as being a painter and decorator, Gary Edwards is the resident cartoonist for the Open University newspaper and magazine. He is a former columnist for Leeds Leeds Leeds, the club's official magazine.

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
