I love reading about Leeds United, the football club that has my heart trapped in the top corner of the net.
What I liked about this book is that it doesn’t focus only on the Revie era - it goes from John Charles who joined Leeds in 1948 through to 3rd January 2010.

If you're not a Leeds United fan this might be a collection of fairly dull anecdotes and I would wonder why you'd read it.
However, as a Leeds fan I was swept along on a surge of love and reminiscing about my football team. Snowy gives us an insight into how tough you had to be to make it at a top-flight professional club. I don't know if there's that much needle in the modern sport, all I know is I would have wilted in those environments.
I'm glad I'm a fan rather than a player!

Mixed bag of interesting tales about Leeds. Stories about Brian Deane, John Charles and Whelan's second entry have stuck with me since.

A great little book about tales from former players about their time at the club. A great read for any fan.
