Dirty Leeds and the Rivalries That Forged a Footballing Empire

In this special bonus episode of If You Know Your History, we’re joined by acclaimed author and MP Chris Evans, whose brilliant books on Don Revie and football’s wartime battalions have reignited debate around one of the most divisive teams in English football history. This time, we dive headfirst into the fierce rivalries that defined Revie’s Leeds. From the glamour and swagger of Chelsea F.C., to the fading aristocracy of Manchester United F.C., and the establishment weight of Arsenal F.C., we explore how Leeds went from Second Division obscurity to becoming the most hated — and feared — side in the country. #ifyouknowyourhistory #Leeds If You Know Your History is presented by Jonny Owen and Mark Webster and is a North One Production.
