Promised Land Av Anthony Clavane

<p><b>This is a book about football. It''s about unconditional love for a club, even when it doesn''t always seem to love you back. But it is also a book about much more than that.</b><br><br>Anthony Clavane loves Leeds - certainly the football club, but also the city, and the tribes that make it<b>.</b> Now that he is an exile in the South, his frequent pilgrimages to the stadium speak for themselves. But he no less loves the rarely-glimpsed back-streets of his youth; and even has a feel for the long-gone slums where his ancestors once settled. Leeds is his promised land; idealised and unreachable, yet still it defines him.<br><br><b>''Sports writing at its very best'' <i>Daily Telegraph</i></b></p>
