Love them or hate them, Leeds United are a club entrenched in the folklore of English football. The Whites did not have a distinguished start to life in the football league, and it took 40 years for them to make an impact with the biggest clubs in the game. Don Revie’s takeover as the manager […]

That’s once again been highlighted this term as they’ve beaten both Arsenal and Chelsea away from home.
