Product Description
Neil Jeffries, Leeds Leeds Leeds magazine, December 2002
Far more than another dewy-eyed retread of the glory years... it's great fun and immensely informative. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Harry Pearson, When Saturday Comes, December 2002
[A] well-researched and thought-provoking 'revisionist' history... Well argued and backed by telling statistics. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential primer for all 'new wave' Leeds fans., 2 Dec 2002
Although the book owes a debt of acknowledgement to the fabulous Leeds United-The Glory Years video and makes two errors (find out for yourselves...oh, o.k then, the blessed Don Revie died on May 26th 1989, not March), the book is a wonderful mouthwatering read, written with just enough reverence to satsify even the most boneheaded Leeds fans but at the same time acknowledging that some of the Elland Road 'black arts' need addressing.
A book of this sort has been overdue for some time and those of us fortunate to grow up with the team in the 1960's and 1970's will remember that the Leeds United team of the time were a thing of beauty, a fact which has now been belatedly acknowledged (at least Elsie Revie can be comforted by that fact).
I think that now the authors should sit down and address themselves to what went wrong in the immediate post Don Revie period, through to 1983 or so.
For those of you who need further evidence, get a copy of the Glory Years video, a worthy companion to The Unforgiven.

4.0 out of 5 stars Memory Lane Read, 17 Jun 2004
This is a good book on the history of Leeds when they were power to behold in the late 60's and 70's. Full of details of how Don Revie got his team up and running. There are also interesting bits on the teams they played, the players attitudes and on how the Board viewed things at Leeds.

For anyone who has an interest in Leeds and wants to take a trip down memory lane, this is a book to have. There are some nice photographs also and generally I found the pace of the book to be just right.

Definitely one for any Leeds Fan to have in their collection

4.0 out of 5 stars Data Missing, 20 May 2004
This is an excellent book about the most potent team in it's day. It's a story of near-do wells who could have had a cabinet crammed full of trophies but fell at the final hurdle so many times.

What the book really needs however is a complete data file of all the games of each year covered, all the goalscorers and end of season league tables and so on. This information is not hard to find and it would have made a very good book complete in every way.

This book is essential reading for any Leeds fans especially if they have only heard of the great Leeds United team of the late 60s and 70s. Read more
