A book exploring the connection between Leeds United and the city's Jews has been named Football Book of the Year.

The Promised Land: The Reinvention of Leeds United, by Mirror sportswriter and Leeds fan Anthony Clavane was honoured at the British Sports Book Awards.

He said: "The book weaves together many different strands; Leeds United, Leeds Jews, the story of the city and my personal story growing up."

He was presented with his award by Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock.
