LEEDS UNITED: COVID INTERRUPTUS!: Perth to the Premier League - The Story of the 2019/2020 Season
David Watkins has supported Leeds United for more than fifty years and, for the last ten seasons he has attended almost every game home and away all over the world. This is his tenth book documenting his travels following the team, detailing each game and covering the 2019/2020 season, the centenary season of the club that was founded on the demise of Leeds City in 1919. It was of course a glorious season that culminated with Leeds, under the masterful guidance of the Argentine genius Marcelo Bielsa, securing promotion and a return, after 16 long years, to the pinnacle of English Football; the Premier League. This is possibly the most comprehensive record of the season that you will find and details each and every game, from the pre-season tour to Australia to the final behind closed doors games that ultimately saw promotion achieved as Champions. The story is completed with some often hilarious anecdotes about the antics of the travelling army of fans and is all set against the background of contemporary news and sporting events. As always with Leeds United, it is a story laced with fun, frolics and no little controversy and it will go down as one of the most important seasons in the history of this iconic football club.
