5.0 out of 5 starsexcellent and long overdue
By A Customer on 2 Feb. 2002
Format: Hardcover
As Leeds United have struggled for years to find a striker anything at all prolific, this book, which details the career of their finest ever 'poacher' is long overdue. Quality black and white photographs space out a concise yet informative text which shows the stereotypical rise from dreaming schoolboy to cup final winner as vividly as any film. Sniffer himself seems a little more humble with age but the true elegance of the man himself, resplendent in the white strip and with that cold assassin's eye, adorns every page. Best are his accounts of the training and formation of Revie's great side, narrated with a clarity as if they took place yesterday. One cannot help but think what a legend in world football Clarke would have become had Poland not held England to a 1-1 draw that night. In fact, there is so much frustration in the book which balances out the joys of victory and makes it as interesting as any novel. Allan Clarke is still something of an enigma. How any super skinny choir faced young man could have destroyed so many of the ruthless defences of the era is one question left unanswered. I would have liked a bit more depth into why he played as he did and why he succeeded. You put the book down and still feel he's full of secrets. Leeds fans will ask - does he still mate out with Jonah - as he calls Mick Jones. How did he cope at Billy's funeral - and Don's? A book three times as long could have been written with only a tenth of the illustrations, and it would still have sold, and kept me going. I ate this book in two gulps as it was fascinating. But then so was the man himself. The book should have been written years ago, with volume two out now.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSniffer Clarke
By WOODY on 1 Sept. 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I have autobiographies and biographies of most of the Leeds squad from the 60's and 70's and, obviously reading each one is very reminiscent of the others as the guys are are recalling many of the same experiences. Sniffer's book is very similar to that of Mick Jones' book but to someone like me who was at many of the games they are writing about forty odd years on, I can still almost feel the atmosphere on the terraces that I felt as a young teenager.

5.0 out of 5 starsHe was the best
By lindyloo on 2 Aug. 2011
Format: Hardcover
There are not enough books about the wonderful, gorgeous, Allan Clarke, who stole my teenage heart. This book is the closest I'll get to holding him close (though I did walk past him a few times in Clifford Dunn's in Hull circa 1978 whnw he was promoting Lyons cakes, of all things, with Paul Reaney. I didn't pluck up the courage to go up to him and say "Allan, I love you")
Allan, if you're reading this, I love you. xxx
