    Wrexham: The Fall That Forged The Red Dragons

    For years, Wrexham were Wales’ Football League standard bearers. Then came administration, a 10-point deduction, and a fight to save the Racecourse Ground from being turned into a supermarket. Johnny Owen and Mark Webster explore how a working-class town refused to let its club die — and how that spirit laid the foundations for everything that followed. #ifyouknowyourhistory #Wrexham If You Know Your History is presented by Jonny Owen and Mark Webster and is a North One Production.

    Dirty Leeds and the Rivalries That Forged a Footballing Empire

    In this special bonus episode of If You Know Your History, we’re joined by acclaimed author and MP Chris Evans, whose brilliant books on Don Revie and football’s wartime battalions have reignited debate around one of the most divisive teams in English football history. This time, we dive headfirst into the fierce rivalries that defined Revie’s Leeds. From the glamour and swagger of Chelsea F.C., to the fading aristocracy of Manchester United F.C., and the establishment weight of Arsenal F.C., we explore how Leeds went from Second Division obscurity to becoming the most hated — and feared — side in the country. #ifyouknowyourhistory #Leeds If You Know Your History is presented by Jonny Owen and Mark Webster and is a North One Production.

    Don Revie: The Leeds Legend Before “Dirty Leeds”

    We’re back, and we’re kicking off our new run with a deep dive into Don Revie… before the Leeds dynasty, before “Dirty Leeds”, and before the Clough rivalry became folklore. Joining us is Christopher Evans, author of the acclaimed Don Revie biography, to trace Revie’s journey from grinding Middlesbrough poverty to England international, and to unpack the tactical obsession that defined him long before most people were even thinking that way. #IfYouKnowYourHistory #DonRevie #LeedsUnited #FootballHistory #EllandRoad #BrianClough #Tactics Learn more about your ad choices.
