Summer of 63 uncovers the truth behind the 'Dirty Leeds' tag that has prevailed for almost 60 years. Gleaned from players' private photos, telegrams and scrapbooks, and the testimonies of Leeds and opposition fans, Gary Edwards presents an amazing account of Don Revie's vision to turn a failing side into the club's greatest-ever team.
This is the story of the dream of a soldier to live a normal life with the love of his life and to have a cottage by the ocean and to raise a family. His story starts at the time of Moses and the Pharaoh, and finishes on a small farm east of Tully in Queensland, Australia. Frank has written a book about his life story and has a publisher who wishes to publish it and so, he invites his adult children to read on a chapter each. At first, they think he is nuts but their mother assures them that before the last chapter is read, they will have no doubt. Let us travel through history on a less-travelled path, let us discard the fallacies of religion, let us discard the fallacies of historians, let us discard the one-sidedness of reporting history to suit the writer, and let us travel down the passages of time through the eyes of this soldier. He had a dream of growing old with the love of his life and to raise a family, but that dream was denied to him for three-and-a-half-thousand years, as he was always a soldier who died young, even though he sought to avoid being a soldier like the plague.
A true story of football intrigue, mystery, blackmail and skulduggery. In 1919, Leeds City player Charlie Copeland was refused a request for a pay rise.
