Bol

Revie’s Boys is the story of three Leeds greats and their efforts to bring back glory to Elland Road. Clarke promised trophies but delivered relegation. Gray nurtured a thrilling crop of youngsters but ran out of time. While Bremner came heartbreakingly close to success but fell at the final hurdle. Their tales mark the end of an era. 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.
