5.0 out of 5 stars An essential primer for all 'new wave' Leeds fans., 2 Dec 2002
This review is from: The Unforgiven: The Story of Don Revie's Leeds United (Hardcover)
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
By Patrick Duffy "The Dapper Dude" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
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

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent assessment of Leeds United, 9 May 2007
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. It is very readable and provides an insight into how Revie and his team took the club to new heights and how the rest of the country resented this. The book also deals with the fact that what was one of the best teams ever in the British Isles have never got the credit they have deserved due to jealously and resentment rather than hard facts.
