Leeds United: A Wonderful Mishmash!: The Story Of Leeds United's 2020/2021 Season (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798741945117)

Leeds United returned to the Premier League in 2020 for the first time in 16 long years having won promotion from the Championship under Marcelo Bielsa at the second attempt. Sadly, and somewhat typical of the luck of a Leeds United fan, our return to the top flight coincided with a world pandemic and that dictated that the season was to be played largely behind closed doors. This is the story of the season, therefore, as witnessed from the sofa through the TV screen and not from the stands as it should have been. Nevertheless, it is still an incredible story, a wonderful mishmash of footballing tales on and off the pitch with Bielsa's Leeds United surprising most observers by taking the Premier League by storm. There were big victories, big defeats, new talents unearthed and praise won from all quarters for a style of attacking football never before seen from a newly promoted side. Leeds were the new entertainers. This is the 11th book in the series written by self-confessed Leeds United addict, David Watkins and once again it captures the essence of following one of the most iconic clubs in the land albeit this time set against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic. Everything is covered, the summer recruitment, pre-season, the games on the pitch and the events off the pitch and all set against the developments of the ongoing pandemic and world events. It's probably the most comprehensive summary of the season you will find, A wonderful mishmash!
