'There are only three things wrong with England: they can’t bat, they can’t bowl, and they can’t field’ Martin Johnson, Sunday TimesTHE THRILLING ACCOUNT OF ENGLAND'S UNEXPECTED ASHES VICTORY 1986–1987 - TOLD BY THE MAN WHO MADE IT HAPPENThe Clean Sweep tells the story of one of cricket’s most remarkable Ashes tours. Mike Gatting’s England side departed for Australia under a cloud of criticism after a dismal home summer, having lost Test series to both New Zealand and India. They were completely written off, but what followed was one of the greatest turnarounds in cricket history. England didn’t just compete – they dominated.England went to to win the Ashes, the Perth Challenge and the World Series Cup. At the centre of their success stood Chris Broad, the hero of the tour. Broad struck centuries in Tests at Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne, finishing the series with 487 runs at 69.57, alongside 559 more in 14 one-day internationals.Drawing on his personal tour diary, Broad offers a vivid, behind-the-scenes glimpse of a team at its peak. Featuring a rich cast of characters – including David Gower, Ian Botham, Allan Lamb, and Mike Gatting – alongside cameo appearances from Phil Collins, George Michael and Sir Elton John (who DJ’d the victory party), this is a vibrant retelling of a golden moment in English cricket history.

In 1961, when Don Revie became manager of Leeds United, they were a struggling Second Division club. By 1974 they had won two League Championships, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (twice), the FA Cup and the League Cup; players like Jack Charlton and Billy Bremner were household names.Yet this was a team that inspired neither admiration nor grudging respect, but rather a deep and visceral loathing – matched only by the bellicose devotion of their own supporters. The undeniable artistry of players like striker Allan Clarke was overshadowed by a ruthless professionalism, epitomised in the scything tackles of Norman Hunter. Still, when Revie’ s Leeds United side were let off the leash – the 7-0 humiliation of Southampton is enshrined in Match of the Day mythology – their brilliance was compelling. At the heart of their outlaw status was the eccentric personality of Don Revie himself. Clad in his lucky blue suit, a man for whom team-building meant rounds of carpet bowls, here reigned less a football manager than, in his own estimation, the ‘ head of the family’ . The aftermath of the Revie era is explored, including Brian Clough’ s infamous 44 days at the helm of the ‘ Damned United’ . The Unforgiven is the definitive history of the most defiantly unconventional team in British football.

In The Biography of Leeds United, Telegraph journalist and lifelong fan Rob Bagchi writes the story of this famous club and chronicles a century of history that will educate, entertain and inform both old and new supporters. Packed with fresh stories about and from former players, managers and the money men, as well as the fans, the book is an affectionate and insightful portrait of a football club like no other. Leeds United were founded in 1919 to revive professional football in Yorkshire s biggest city following the expulsion of their fragile and bungling predecessors, Leeds City. A century on from their formation, a club that makes a virtue out of its many ups and downs in its own anthem, has endured a turbulent existence of crushing disappointment and conflict tempered by extraordinary, often mercurial, success. When United mark their centenary in October 2019, vivid recollections of their greatest days, the three league championships, FA Cup, League Cup and floodlit memories of nights of European glory will be celebrated throughout the vast fanbase. Elland Road icons John Charles, Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton, Peter Lorimer, Norman Hunter, Eddie Gray, Tony Currie, John Sheridan, Gordon Strachan, David Batty, Eric Cantona, Gary Speed and Lucas Radebe played for teams that were both revered and reviled, contributing to the club's fame throughout the world. Don Revie's team of the Sixties and Seventies propelled the club and city to unprecedented heights. But when they reached the top, they failed to plan and there was nowhere to go but down. The theme of the past five decades has been the struggle to get back, a story of great adventures, fleeting splendour, relegation and defiant, hard battles against authority, owners and self-sabotage.
