Thank you for this comment.

[@tomduggan51]

Many thanks and God bless you for caring for Don Gladys-my Mother was full-time carer for my Dad for ten years before he died from Parkinsons-so I know first-hand the sacrifices that have to be made. Best wishes to you always.

Can I ask, did he pronounce his surname as ‘Revvy or Reevie’? Thank you for what you did for him 🙏

im a west ham fan but always remember that great team Revie built in the 60s and early 70s. they were the best team ive ever seen when Leeds used to come to upton park the gates was shut at 1. everybody wanted to see them the team was pure class. today football is not the same.

Channon missed too many chances in the qualifying group for the 1976 Euros when England lost out to the eventual winners Czechoslovakia.

[@ronburgundy8423]

what a team that was that Revie built up, if Leeds just had that little bit of luck and rub of the green that always seemed to allude them when it was most needed, could have easily had 3 more titles a couple of FA cups and European cup to add to the already impressive haul.

[@Gerard_2024]

In fairness, I think a significant contributory factor in Leeds' under-achievement was not so much luck, but the unreliable Gary Sprake in goal.

[@tomduggan51]

Balls are Squared, Thanks for this affectionate tribute to Don. I began following football in his last year at Leeds when they won the Championship-great days and great memories of a wonderful side!

[@skinnernormington]

Wow, brings back so many memories of what a great manager and a great team he put together. To see the way that professional footballers roll around on the floor now just shows how tough it was when tackles were tackles and you just got up and played on. R.I.P. Don Revie.

[@josephbland3904]

Too right... when Players just got on with the job & did it for pride & passion , not just enormous amounts of cash. Players of today are way to cosseted and soft...

Don Revie was a true great manager, 2 league titles, FA Cup, League Cup, 2 Uefa Cups, also 5 runners up in the league as well 4 fa cup finals European Cup semi-final European cup winners cup final as well which the ref was banned for life with shocking decisions against leeds lost league on goal difference also twice buy a point little bit of bad luck as well as terrible fixture congestions cost leeds dearly a great man who was a generation ahead of his time sadly never gets the recognition he deserves but leeds fans know what a great man he was RIP Don ....

When you see the relationship that Don Revie had with the Leeds players you can see why Brian Clough went down like a cup of cold sick when he turned up and on day one told them to throw all their medals in the bin 'cos they'd only won them by cheating. LOL Good watch. Many Thanks for the upload.

Kevin Davies i,m sure chelsea took a massive mob to leeds that day, cause if i remember rightly, the coppers escorted chelsea from leeds station to the ground,which is a fair old walk. my cousin,who was 15 at the time,got into the front of the chelsea escort and sucker punched some fat cunt at the front of the escort. nicked and then released without charge. wouldn't happen these days.
