Don Revie was appointed Manager of Leeds United in March 1961 with the Club at its lowest ebb and immediately began to institute radical changes. He implemented a youth policy, and ordered a dramatic change of kit from the traditional blue and yellow, to an all white style, similar to that worn by Real Madrid.

Don developed a close working relationship with the club Chairman Harry Reynolds and brought in a new backroom team of Maurice Lindley , Les Cocker, and Syd Owen. Revie did inherit a core of quality defenders including Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton Norman Hunter, Paul Reaney, Paul Madeley, Terry Cooper, to which he added some exceptionally fine goalscorers in Alan Peacock, Allan Clarke and Mick Jones. He also introduced attacking South African winger Albert Johanneson and brought in Johnny Giles from Manchester United and Bobby Collins from Everton.
