I only recently got the Same Old Game for about a quid. It has several hundred pages.
As you may well know, it's a history of every known form of football. It doesn't seem to have a slant toward any particular code.
It was a massive bandwagon in the late sixties and early seventies. In some ways, a good period (the advent of regular televised soccer) to build up a fan base for a club that had, hitherto, never achieved much.
Take Revie out of the equation and I doubt they'd be as big as they are now. The support that Leeds now enjoy is largely based on the strong side they had from the mid 1960's through the mid 70's. Great clubs are built on a certain culture. Leeds have lost whatever culture they might have had.
That stability is a mixture of the right board and coach/manager, development structures. This should apply to all sports.
Leeds' excuse used to be that the reason they couldn't attract the biggest crowds was that they were from a rugby town. Apart from the Revie era, Leeds United are one of the biggest failures in world soccer.
Went on youtube recently and found a record that I would have thought was perfect for the mind numbing cack they play on modern stations. But they don't even choose all the sh##e.
