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.

[@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.

[@robharding5345]

Don Revie made me fall in love with Leeds Utd back in 69, and He is one of the all time great managers, without question,

[@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.
