Overview

It's July 4th, 1974: Don Revie decided to leave Leeds United to take over the England job from the sacked Sir Alf Ramsey. His departure upset many while his England appointment was hardly met with universal approval either. Already with a long list of enemies including the FA, the Football League and the media, managing the national team put him directly in the firing line. His aim was to restore the nation's team to its former heights, win over the fans, the doubters and the cynics...but he'd bitten off more than anyone could chew. The odds were too great: the players, the tactics, the notorious dossiers, money, the mystery, the mayhem and the controversy meant that Revie's dream was over in three unimpressive years. Using explosively revealing and previously unpublished material written by the man himself, DisRepute is the true fictionalised account of Revie's England.

Praise for Robert Endeacott: 'He writes without pretension, honest and unflinching, born of dedication and passion.' David Peace 'Robert Endeacott has no concerns about stirring up controversy.' The Yorkshire Post 'An insightful account of the rise of Leeds United under Don Revie.' Charles Hutchinson, The York Press On Dirty Leeds: 'As a fiction this is groundbreaking stuff - and might yet make a better film than The Damned United. Highly recommended.' LLL Fanzine 'Part rite of passage and part homage to Revie, it reeks of beef-dripping, sooty black buildings and sherry-doused failure.' Rick Broadbent, The Times
