Revie's Boys is the gripping saga of Allan Clarke, Eddie Gray and Billy Bremner – three heirs to Don Revie who tried to revive Leeds United'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 F.A. 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. In this book, the author:

  • Tells the story of three Leeds greats' doomed attempts to follow in the footsteps of the most successful manager in the club's history
  • Lays bare the brutal consequences of being stranded in the second tier, as plummeting attendances saw Elland Road sold off to settle debts
  • Gives readers the inside track through frank interviews with those who were there
  • Why did Leeds United fall so far, so fast?
  • Just how was this possible in an era when Leeds boasted some of the best players to ever wear the famous white shirt?
  • What lessons are there for the club today?

Through candid interviews with key players, the book illuminates a dark era in Leeds United history, the fallout of which still resonates today. A must-read for Leeds fans young and old. Published in 2026.
