LEEDS GET REVVED UP

Farke's men can survive in Prem by parking the bus and going back to being Don's Dirty United

- BY ROSS HEPPENSTALL

DANNY MILLS says Leeds United can scrap their way to safety - by parking the bus and reclaiming the notorious ‘Dirty Leeds' tag they acquired under Don Revie in the Sixties and Seventies.

Daniel Farke’s newly-promoted side open their campaign at home to Everton tomorrow night - but are already being written off by some as relegation certainties.

In the past two seasons, all three promoted sides have suffered an immediate Championship return.

Yet former defender Mills, a member of the Leeds side who reached the Champions League semifinals in 2000-01, believes that Farke’s men can survive in the top flight, by putting their head in where it hurts.

The Whites have signed a raft of physical players this summer - evoking memories of Revie's uncompromising ‘Dirty Leeds’ side half-a-century ago.
