Overview

The Sons of Revie is the definitive account of ten incredible seasons at Leeds United, told through the eyes of a young supporter who grew up on the glory and heartbreak of cheering on his team from the Scratching Shed at Elland Road and all around the country. The 1960s and 70s was a golden age for English football, a time when legends were made at all the biggest clubs in the country, yet an unfashionable club with no history of success emerged from the bottom of Division Two to tower over the rest. Led by their visionary manager, Don Revie, a squad almost entirely made up of home-grown youngsters rewrote the record books and became one of the greatest teams in history, chasing multiple trophies every season and winning almost everything there was to win, yet their legacy would be dominated by controversies and disappointments as they so often fell at the final hurdle, by fair means or foul. From Dirty Leeds to Super Leeds, there has never been another side quite like the Sons of Revie.
