The best moments from Leeds United's 1970s documentary, The Don of Elland Road

It's a fascinating snapshot of life at Leeds United during the club’s glory years under legendary manager Don Revie. Directed by much-loved TV programme-maker and sports commentator Sid Waddell, The Don of Elland Road follows United for two weeks during the closing stages of their championship-winning 1973/74 season.

The 25-minute programme had, by modern standards, a remarkable level of access, variously showing Revie at work, on the golf course and even chatting to a reporter on the phone while in bed at home. Now history is set to repeat itself, with filming under way on another behind-the-scenes documentary – this time telling the story of Marcelo Bielsa’s bid to guide United back to the top flight of English football. And, with that in mind, the Yorkshire Evening Post has revisited The Don of Elland Road, picking out 10 of its finest moments of the documentary which is available to view on the Yorkshire Film Archive website.
