Don Revie is synonymous with the great Leeds United of the 1960s and 70s. Many players from that team became household names. But for every 'first teamer' dreams were dashed for a plethora of players where fate, injury, timing or luck halted first team opportunities. Players like Peter McConnell, Roy Ellam and others. These are their stories.
Don Revie is a name synonymous with the great Leeds United team of the late 1960s and early 1970s.One of British and European football's most feared outfits, Revie brought the First Division crown, FA Cup, League Cup and Fairs Cup to Elland Road where Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton and Norman Hunter were among many household names.
