Elland Road break-in, shirt-lifter suspected!
While in one part of Leeds a piece of Revie memorabilia is up for sale, in another part, a Revie memento of the great man has been stolen.
Elland Road’s West Stand reception suffered a break-in on Saturday evening and a 1950’s England shirt worn by the great Don Revie was stolen by bottom-feeding scum.
The stolen shirt was one that Revie wore whilst playing for England against the Irish in the 1954-55 season. The shirt is distinctive; today we would consider it looking more like a polo shirt; it is white with short sleeves, pointed collars and three buttons up to the neck. It has the obvious three-lions English FA crest on the left breast, underneath which the year of the match appears in red-thread embroidery.
The club is asking that anyone with information to contact Colin Lockwood on 0113 367 6129.
