Product description

Review

Far more than another dewy-eyed retread of the glory years... it's great fun and immensely informative. -- Neil Jeffries, Leeds Leeds Leeds magazine, December 2002

Written with considerable style. The most important question is whether it could be read by enthusiasts who are not Leeds fans...emphatically, yes. -- Richard Whitehead, The Times, 2 November 2002

[A] well-researched and thought-provoking 'revisionist' history... Well argued and backed by telling statistics. -- Harry Pearson, When Saturday Comes, December 2002

For someone who grew from youngster to teenager with that team, the book was a riveting read. Highly recommended. Buy it.

4.0 out of 5 starsMemory Lane Read
By The Dapper Dude VINE VOICE on 17 Jun. 2004
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
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 starsAn excellent assessment of Leeds United
By HBH on 9 May 2007
Format: Paperback
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 has never got the credit they have deserved due to jealously, resentment and perception rather than an examination of the hard facts.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn essential primer for all 'new wave' Leeds fans.
By Francis Barry-Walsh on 2 Dec. 2002
Format: 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 starsThe Leeds Machine
By CorkRebel67 on 23 May 2011
Format: Paperback
Excellent account of the creation of one of football's great sides. Leeds may be, as the title suggests, 'unforgiven' for their style of play but this book reminds people just what a potent side they were. Fascinating details about Revie, Giles, Bremner and Charlton - all in all, a rewarding read for all true football fans. Mind you, I would have liked a little more detail about the era of their decline.

5.0 out of 5 starsSO THAT`S WHAT HAPPENED ..............
By db 54 on 19 Aug. 2011
Format: Paperback
One of the best books on football I have ever read. Detailed, informative, and most important, ... continuously interesting and entertaining. Not just for those affiliated to Leeds Utd, this is a fascinating insight into how Don Revie turned around a hitherto second rate football club into one of the most feared, hated, powerful, successful and yet flawed clubs in Europe for 10 years. As one who grew up a Liverpool fan, watching Leeds battle it out for honours relentlessly during Revie`s managership, this insightful book throws up a host of revealing reasons especially, on how it was the club failed on so many occasions to get over the winning line.
Mainly disliked by many opposing fans through sheer jealousy (though the "dirty Leeds" tag was frequently justified), Leeds were also disliked intensely by those who held the reins of power in Lancaster Gate. Hence the ludicrous amount of occasions when the F A refused to assist the club in the face of horrendous fixture congestion. The congestion arising, ironically because the club fought its way through to so many finals, domestically and in Europe. Instead of permitting a few days grace to allow the players to recharge themselves during relentless campaigns, it even got to the ridiculous situation whereby the club was required to fulfill 6 games over one 12 day period. In additon it has to be said the club was also on the end of some absolutely awful refereeing decisions during crucial games, most notably against Bayern Munich in a European cup final (tho admittedly Revie had left the club some 10 months earlier).
Fascinating also was the revelation of Revie`s almost manic and illogical superstitious nature.Read more ›
