Friendlies. Some fans love them, others loathe them, but they are an often forgotten part of every club's history. Leeds United the Forgotten Games features more than 650 friendly matches: from the first-ever game against Yorkshire Amateurs right up to the modern day pre-season tour.
The book is full of quirky stats and interesting facts, such as the game where dead-ball specialist Ian Harte scored a unique hat-trick. It also details all of the club's foreign tours, winners of the West Riding Cup, tells you just who Brian Tevreden was and reveals the club that Leeds have played the most over the years.
Each game is brought to life by a match report and stats lovers will relish poring over the full team line-ups from these forgotten games, recalling forgotten trialists, youth-team nearly men and those unknown future legends making their first steps in the professional game.
