Not sure if I've ever mentioned before but he was the star of the first game I ever went to. He scored the winner that day and was my first footballing hero.



The best I can remember of him at Leeds Road was when we beat West Ham 4-2 in the Cup. He was absolutely brilliant that day and of course he went on to do even better with Leicester and Bolton. If he had joined Liverpool, no doubt he would've had more than the 8 England caps he got.
