As any Leeds United fan will tell you, following the Whites is certainly never boring. Almost as famous for their periods of chaos as for their moments of glory, over the years supporters have been left exhilarated and exasperated in equal measure - whilst remaining one of the most passionate fanbases in the world.

Now, as Leeds celebrate their return to the Premier League, renowned Opta statistician and lifelong fan Jonny Cooper digs into the numbers and stats to present an alternative history of the club, from the glory of the Revie years right through to lifting the Championship trophy under Daniel Farke - via the title win of 92, never-ending play-off heartbreak, a brief visit to League One and, of course, the Marcelo Bielsa era.

With a unique blend of stats and analysis, quirky insights, player records and a view from the terraces, this treasure trove of trivia is full of the good, the bad and the downright weird from the world of Leeds United. A football book unlike any other, this is the ultimate celebration of one of England's most historic - and unique - clubs.
