From Elland Road to Corporate Alley

Sob sob. Where’s me ‘anky? Former Leeds United great Jack Charlton has joined his recently departed teammates Norman “Bites yer Legs” Hunter and Trevor Cherry to play in that great football stadium in the sky.

Tributes are flooding in again, not just for Jack, but for the Leeds team of 50-or-so years ago and their manager Don Revie, who took a very ordinary club and turned it into the most revered (derived from Revied? Or reviled?) team in Europe.
