The Damned United Revisited: Leeds, Revie, Clough and the Turbulent Seventies

By Luca Carrera

In the 1970s, Leeds United was more than a football club - it was a battlefield of ideals, egos, and ambition. At the centre stood Don Revie, the meticulous manager who forged an empire in white, and Brian Clough, the rebellious genius who tried - and failed - to take it over. The Damned United Revisited is a gripping, factual retelling of the most dramatic decade in the club's history: a time of glory, controversy, loyalty, and upheaval.

From the triumphs of the Revie era to the chaos of Clough's 44-day reign, from European heartbreak to cultural mythmaking, this book brings the story to vivid life through immersive narrative, rich character portraits, and sharp historical insight. Drawing solely on the record - never speculation - it explores how football became war, how men became legends, and how Elland Road became sacred ground.
