My Top 10

This 'My Top 10' has been compiled by Hampshire Whites member David Davies.

Whilst choosing his top 10 David commented "The more you think about it, the more you could be popping back in and updating as there are so many players that have left an impact or memory ...but this is the 10 that I have settled on". This compilation spans the years that David has been a fan of Leeds United, from a young boy to present day.

1 Tommy Wright

My first experience of Leeds United was in the 1980s. I would have been about 5 or 6 and my dad had some VHS tapes with match highlights on them. One name that stuck out for me when watching those tapes was Tommy Wright as an exciting young player so he goes in first on my list.

2 Rodney Wallace

Another exciting player to watch with his skill and speed and one stand out moment would be his goal against Tottenham in 1994.

3 Gary Speed

One of my Leeds heroes and favourite player as a kid. The energy he showed in games was fantastic and I loved the commentary moment ‘go on Gary Speed, get one yourself son’ back in 1990 as he scored the 4th goal of a 4-0 win over Sheffield United.

4 Chris Fairclough

Great defender in the heart of the Leeds defence who helped get the club promoted from division 2 in his first year at the club and would be part of the division 1 champions team just 2 years later. 

5 Gordon Strachan

Brilliant player for Leeds and captain of the team that won the league in 91-92 season.

6 Lee Bowyer

One of my favourites from our first time around in the premier league. He could create and score but also had a lot of fight in the midfield.

7 Alan Smith

Another one of my favourites and as a local Leeds lad showed passion every time he put on the shirt. Shame to see him leave after relegation from the premier league but I think the club was in a bit of a financial pickle back then and we lost a lot of players.

8 Pablo Hernandez

The little magician. He has a lot of stand out moments in a Leeds shirt. Not always as consistent as we would have liked but when he did produce it was usually pretty special.

9 Raphinha

He had to go in to my 10 just for his ability to turn a game around. Such an exciting player to watch in his short time with the club.

10 Crysencio Summerville

Not quite the finished article but similarly to Raphinha, when he has the ball you know something can happen. I love how he runs at defences and at the time of writing this he has 12 goals and 7 assists to his name which is not a bad return at all.
