Don Revie (OBE) Born 10th July 1927 Died 26th May 1989

Revie was made player manager on his arrival at Leeds, and after an initial slow start developed the team that would by the early 1970s be the major force in English football. He was named English Manager of the Year in 1969 , 1970 , and 1972 , and was awarded the OBE in 1970.

In 1974 Revie was offered the job of England national football manager, but was unable to reproduce the success he had enjoyed at Leeds. In 1977 he controversially quit the role to become coach to the United Arab Emirates . The FA suspended Revie on a charge of bringing the game into disrepute, which Revie successfully overturned in court. After leaving the UAE coaching role in 1980 he took over management of Al Nasr , followed in 1984 by the Egyptian club Al Al of Cairo.

In 1988 he revealed that he was suffering from motor neurone disease, and he died in 1989.
