Anthony Clavane's Promised Land (Yellow Jersey, £16.99) is a well-written, emotional and thoughtful chronicle about being a fan from Don Revie's era to Simon Grayson's. Clavane's passion for Leeds pervades every page, demonstrating why the club will never die (Henry Winter).
Promised Land: The Reinvention of Leeds United by Anthony Clavane is published by Yellow Jersey Press on 19th August 2010.
In Promised Land, leading sports writer and life-long Leeds supporter Anthony Clavane charts the highs and lows of Leeds United Football Club alongside the peaks and troughs of both the city of Leeds and the 'beautiful game' itself.
