Another Roy of the Rovers pic. The full heading is 'Colours of your favourite English and Scottish clubs'.

(And yes; it does look as orange in the book as it does here!)

Leeds One Goal XI


So bored that I'm doing a second post of the day. A starting XI of players that only scored one competitive goal a piece.

If you fancy doing a quiz of all Leeds' "one goal wonders" since 1990, here's one I made earlier! (It's certainly possible to make a load more 1 goal XIs... apart from the goalkeeper!)

Clay McCormack

I'm hearing whisperings that Ross is back in the squad this weekend. Please be true!

(Gotta say, I quite like this likeness; if you don't see it, just compare it to the squad profile pic here)

Crap Loanees as Pro Wrestlers #4

Andros the Giant:



Deserving of status as a crap loanee? Probably. He had a good debut, but apart from that, offered little of the Premiership quality that his arrival promised.

Add to that the fact that he sacked us off for Birmingham at the first opportunity, and played big time Billy on twitter, and you can see why he wasn't popular with Leeds fans. 

Birmingham would probably class him as a crap loanee too. Their rapid loss of form coincided with his arrival.

Ode to Billy Paynter

Leeds once signed a striker called Billy,
To replace Jermaine Beckford; how silly!
Though he tried hard to score, 
He couldn't hit a barn door,
(But he still scored more than Derek Lilley)

Haaland vs Blackburn

Alf Inge Haaland Leeds United vs Blackburn Rovers goal volley 1997 1998 97 98

Bit of a forgotten goal this one, but a real touch of class from Alfie! I'm sure if this goal had been scored by a more high profile player, people would still be talking about it today.
