FKS 1970-71 - Leeds United

Why did I end up supporting Leeds when my nearest League team was Reading ?... Well there's your answer really.

Reading wasn't even that local, my town's team , Maidenhead United (see Maidenhead United F.C. - Official Website) were non-league and I did go to the games, but Leeds United were at their Don Revie best. There was a bunch of my friends who cheered on their every move from afar, and then I found out my Mum's family even came from Leeds, so I WAS a local. Nowadays I really am and I've lived all my adult life in Leeds.

This team won just about everything and were runners-up a whole lot more - victims of their own success, because in the days before massive squads, the players were all knackered by the time they reached the final games of the season. When the team broke up success went with them, Billy Bremner, Allan Clarke, and Eddie Gray (twice !) all became Leeds managers but couldn't restore the glory.

Only England World Cup '66 winner, and Bobby's brother, Jackie Charlton went on to a bigger post-Leeds career, as a famous fisherman ... oh and Republic of Ireland manger. ( I know, Johnny Giles was their manager too, but he never got a side to beat England ...)

Other Bob 70-71 stars to manage Leeds include, Brian Clough (Derby County manager), Jimmy Armfield, Jock Stein (Celtic manager), Jimmy Adamson (Burnley manager), Howard Wilkinson, George Graham and Terry Venables (QPR).

Fanthology

(Click www.relishbooks.co.uk to purchase)

FANTHOLOGY Edited By Robert Endeacott & Graeme Garvey

Whatever you say about Leeds United FC, it’s very unlikely the words ‘boring’ and ‘mundane’ would be used.  The life & times of this famous club, the fortunes & misfortunes and the trials & tribulations are unparalleled in world football. 

Here, Leeds fans all over the world tell of their emotions, their tears of joy & their tears of misery in good, bad and downright ugly times with the world famous Whites.  And fans of all ages reveal ‘WHY’ they’re Leeds fans, what it is that makes them so loyal and give their reasons for nearly losing all sense of reason watching Leeds play the beautiful game.

Where are they now? Leeds United

(Click to purchase the book)

With over 140 post-1970 Leeds United players, this book is an essential purchase for ALL Leeds United fans, and anyone who likes 'where are they now? information.

Doolally
Edited by David Gill

Doolally with a foreword by Ardal O'Hanlon is an anthology of fiction, non-fiction and poetry about the crazy rollercoster of emotions involved in following football.

Being a supporter of a football club involves 'madness' in all sorts of ways - obsession, lunacy, martyrdom, bemusement, embarrassment, manical amusement, excruciating anger, transcendent joy and so on. Central to this book will be an exploration of these feelings about Leeds United, a football club which has given its supporters plenty of reasons to 'go mad' in recent years.
