Don Revie’s 1954–55 England international shirt was stolen from the main reception at Elland Road after a Sunday morning stadium tour. The thief returned later to steal what they clearly saw as a “souvenir.”
The shirt was priceless. It came from the 1954–55 season, when Don was voted Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year while playing for Manchester City F.C.. It was also the season he broke into the England national football team, earning his first international caps and scoring four goals in six appearances.
Months later, with the help of a couple of lads from our Kop 
, I finally managed to get the shirt back where it belonged—its rightful home at Elland Road.
Hopefully it’s now locked away safely where it should stay.
