We Are Leeds - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book focuses on Leeds United supporters scattered around the world and their own personal stories of their experiences following the West Yorkshire club. Their tales are comical, unusual, interesting, scary and fascinating. All the supporters speak with equal passion about the club they adore. The book is like a virtual tour around the world, tracking down Leeds followers along the way. It starts with supporters’ tales in Leeds itself and then goes around the west side of England, into Wales, across to Southern and Northern Ireland, over to America and Canada, down to the Caribbean, further south to Brazil and Argentina, and continues around the globe to places such as South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Azerbaijan, Russia, Norway, Iceland and many more. It ends up going back up the east side of England and home to Leeds again, where more home-grown supporters tell their stories. The author’s own experiences following the club appear throughout the book, and there are three chapters where ‘super-fan’ Gary Edwards (author of Paint it White and Leeds United The Second Coat), who has missed just one Leeds match, including all pre-season friendlies, anywhere in the world since 1968, gives his views on various aspects of the club throughout its history. Every Leeds fan will be able to relate to the passion that comes across in these pages.
