Finally – honour is planned for 'forgotten' Don

Yorkshire Evening Post

June 28, 2025

'Forgotten' England manager Don Revie is finally to be remembered in his home town - years after his great rival Brian Clough was given three local accolades.

- by Charles Brown

Revie, an England player then a pioneering and title-winning coach with Leeds United, has no memorials in his home town of Middlesbrough, where he grew up two miles away from Clough.

While Clough - often dubbed the greatest manager England never had - has a statue in the town's Albert Park, a street named after him in Linthorpe and a plaque on his former house, nothing marks that Revie was a Boro lad.

Revie, who managed England from 1974 until he quit for the United Arab Emirates in 1977, does not even have a plaque on his former home in Bell Street, Newport.
