Thanks also to Steven O’Connell for the bibs and balls.

Bizarre fact:
South Korea have a phrase known as ‘Leeds Days’ used by millions of South Koreans even if they don’t know the football club.
This phrase refers specifically to Alan Smith and the fact that he was seen as this great young hope, for England and for Leeds, but whose career never reached the heights it might have attained, after he left Leeds to join Manchester United in 2004.
You refer to someone’s ‘Leeds Days’ as the point in their life where things peaked, before going downhill.

Kamara ✅
Summerville ✅
Gray ✅
Rutter ✅
4 key players from last season all gone and we've replaced them with Bogle and Rothwell. If you don't laugh you'll cry! #lufc
If Leeds sell Georginio Rutter, they’ll have made £140m in player sales this summer.
The 23 other teams in the Championship have made a 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 £139m.
😳😳
Year after year we sell our best players & come out with a statement that the club ‘couldn’t down such money and it’ll be reinvested in the team’, to sign mediocre players/managers, bottle promotion or get relegated, rinse and repeat. Yanks OUT!
