They missed out on many more titles and cups, not least club football's greatest prize, the European Cup, in 1975. Here, a lifelong Leeds United fan reveals why the club has dramatically lost out on victory in many of these competitions, and how it has been the victim of a pattern of serial abuse by the footballing authorities—most recently seen in the unprecedented 15-point sanction meted out at the start of the 2007-08 season. Featuring the views of former Leeds players and managers, as well as top-flight referees and diehard fans, this book examines the injustices that have befallen Leeds United and sheds new light on shocking events that have long rankled with the club's supporters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mainstream Publishing Company, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057164927216,"sku":"9781780575490","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780575490_p0.jpg?v=1763713709","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780575490","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
