Flaptekst van het boek over voetbalclub Leeds United in de jaren zeventig
The story of Leeds United in the 1970s when the club reached its peak under Manager Don Revie as arguably the best team in Europe although dogged by controversy, before its decline under a sequence of managers following Revie.
Rarely has any club courted as much controversy, ill feeling and bad press as Leeds United in the 1970s. Manager Don Revie had transformed them from a struggling Second Division outfit at the beginning of the 1960s to being arguably the best team in Europe, but they were dogged by the ‘Dirty Leeds’ tag for years. This book covers the period from Leeds United winning their first league championship in 1969 through to the end of 1979, including the heartbreaking treble disappointment of 1970, the FA Cup win in 1972, the shock defeat against Sunderland in 1973, the second title triumph of 1974 and the devastating defeat to Bayern Munch in the 1975 European Cup final. Read about the controversies of match-fixing allegations against Don Revie and the succession of managers who failed to match up to Revie’s legacy, including Brian Clough and Jock Stein. The period was littered with controversy, criticism and some famous feuds with Bob Stokoe, Alan Hardaker and Brian Clough as United singlehandedly ushered in an era of near-to-the-knuckle professionalism and gamesmanship.
