I already bought it and raved over it. This was like reading 'roots' for me. It's not about LUFC but my grandparents, parents and me. The 'history' that was there tied in with things I knew, half knew and never understood. The waves of ex-city and in-city immigration from to the city, to the Leylands, to Chappletown to Alwoodley were that of ours. We detoured in Osmodthorpe and Roudhay but we touched all those bases. The 'emancipation' and liberation from poverty was that too. But the escape from the ghetto and ghetto life, the ways of identifying over the generations were intertwined with a deep love of Elland Road. That is my deep love of that city. It is unique in its caring and ability to give. I do not identify myself as Jewish or English but a Jew from Leeds. This is who I am and Leeds United is so so much part of that. I would not be who I am had I been born elsewhere. Above all I feel a great depth of gratitude to the city that gave us shelter, me an education and a an undying link to it it through the spiritual umbilical chord, that can never be severed-- Leeds United. This book captured all that for me. Michael
