Revie's Boys

Revie's Boys Synopsis

Revie's Boys: The Lost Hope of Glory, Glory Leeds United is the gripping saga of Allan Clarke, Eddie Gray and Billy Bremner: three heirs to Don Revie who tried to revive the club's glory days. Clarke promised silverware but delivered relegation. Gray nurtured a thrilling crop of youngsters but ran out of time. Bremner came within seven minutes of promotion and FA Cup glory, only to fall agonisingly short. In less than a decade, Leeds fell from dominance to despair - as they went from being England's top club to Second Division also-rans. Their sharp decline was overshadowed by rampant hooliganism plus crippling debts that cost them their stadium. Through candid interviews with key players, the book illuminates a dark era in Leeds United history, the fallout of which still resonates today.
