Yellow car in Liverpool: what was Don Revie looking for in Everton?
Everything seemed set for success, his way, with an ambitious club with a family ethos that would pay him handsomely. Nobody can say for sure why Don Revie, in the end, didn't go to Everton.
Dan Harding ⭑ From A-Z since '92
Kevin Blackwell was not the right manager for nurturing the kind of young talent Leeds had, back in the early days of the David O'Leary era, made a habit of bringing in, of whom Dan Harding was the last hurrah.
AFCON 1996: Lucas Radebe versus Tony Yeboah

Newcastle United 4-3 Leeds United: Barnes burner
