Don Revie was the runaway winner as Leeds United’s greatest ever manager by the club’s fans in a poll conducted as part of The Football League's 125th Anniversary celebrations.

Revie’s first job in management was as player-boss at Elland Road, a role he took on in 1961 before hanging up his boots to concentrate on his managerial duties and completely revolutionising the club’s fortunes and approach to football.

Within three years we were champions of the Second Division and once in the top flight we never finished below fourth under Revie. His list of honours includes two First Division titles and five runners-up spots, the Second Division championship, the FA Cup, the League Cup, two Inter-Cities Fairs Cup wins and a run to the European Cup Winners’ Cup Final of 1973.

On a personal note, Revie was made an OBE in 1969 and also named Manager of the Year on three occasions. All that saw him rack up 74% of the vote, ahead of Simon Grayson and Howard Wilkinson.

But the tally for the man voted as the club’s greatest captain was even greater as Billy Bremner clocked up 81%. Bremner was the skipper right through the Revie era and made 772 appearances for the club between 1960 and 1976, winning a long list of honours on the way. He finished ahead of Lucas Radebe and Gordon Strachan in the captain voting.

It was a game under Revie in 1972 that was voted as the club’s greatest, a memorable 7-0 victory over Southampton at Elland Road which polled 43% of the votes, ahead of a 5-4 defeat at home to Liverpool in 1991, the promotion-clinching 2-1 win at home to Bristol Rovers in 2010, the 3-2 win at Sheffield United that clinched us the First Division title in 1992 and a 1-0 win at Bournemouth in 1990 that saw us promoted from the Second Division.

The league title-winning campaign of 1991/92, the last before the advent of the new Premier League, was voted as our best season with almost half of all votes cast. It beat 1967/68, 1989/90, 2009/10 and 2007/08 to the honour.

Revie and Bremner sit alongside other legends of the game including Brian Clough, Sir Bobby Robson, Sir Tom Finney, Billy Wright, Sir Stanley Matthews, Trevor Francis and Herbert Chapman who have all been named in a list of the greatest contributors to clubs’ league history in a vote as part of The Football League’s 125th Anniversary celebrations.

The names feature in lists for each of the current 72 Football League clubs’ greatest in various categories including managers, players, captains, fan favourites, matches and seasons. The polls were run by The Football League to celebrate each club’s own contribution to the last 125 years of league football. The results have been announced on the anniversary of The Football League’s formation on 17th April 1888 to bring down the curtain on a year of activity celebrating the start of the world’s original league football competition.

Nearly 100,000 votes were cast in the polls after clubs were first invited to compile their own shortlist for each category based on fans’ nominations via social media.

A list of the winners in each category can be seen at www.FL125.co.uk/vote , and a club-by-club breakdown for each vote with more detail on the winners can be seen at www.fl125.co.uk/leeds-united .
