Synopsis
In this follow-up instalment of high gloss and drama, Edwards recounts how he befriended a real-life Leeds - supporting Dalek, convinced Rolf Harris that the earth is flat, was accosted by firemen while trying to paint a fire engine white, appeared on the sides of buses with his face painted in Leeds colours and received letters from the Queen and the Prime Minister after he complained about David Beckham getting an OBE. "Leeds United: The Second Coat" is another hilarious account of the scrapes, adventures and moments of comedy that a life's passion for Leeds United have brought Gary Edwards. Ok, he missed one but he still has the tickets and only a strike by Spanish air traffic control stopped him getting to a one-off friendly in Toronto.
From the Publisher
He made you cry with laughter with Paint It White, now the celebrated Leeds-supporting, cartoon-drawing, painting and decorating eccentric Gary Edwards is back. It turns out that his first book was only an undercoat, and now his crazy stories of life following Leeds needs a second coat. No wonder: Edwards, you see, has seen every Leeds game - competitive and friendly anywhere in the world - since 17 January 1968*. In those 38 years he's been there, done that and bought the T-shirt. But due to a large slice of senility and subtle prompts from his travelling companions, he's back with more tales that simply would not fit into the first volume. There's barely a pub in the land he can step into without some well-meaning soul coming up to him and demanding 'Loved the book, Gary! When are you going to do another - with me in it?' So here it is, then - another fabulously entertaining collection of travelling tales and friends remembered. Eventually.
