1 Gary Speed
Grew up wanting to be him!!
2 Harry Kewell
Magical and could do some special things with them predators on his feet.
3 Ian Harte
Lit up the stadium with that left foot of his.
4 Olivier Dacourt
Gritty and wore the badge with pride.

I’m sure Messi watched videos of Strachan growing up.
6 Rod Wallace
Skilful, clever, quick and could score from anywhere.
7 Lee Bowyer
Naughty and underrated.
8 Robbie Keane
Just a natural goal scorer, wish we had him longer at the club.
9 Pablo Hernandez
MAJESTIC!
10 Robert Snodgrass
Top player, humble and did so much for us on that pitch.

In January 2024 my dad took me to see my first ever Leeds United game. I liked it so much I asked if we could go again. But my Dad said we would have to see as it cost too much for travel. We kept watching on the TV and I kept on at my Dad about going to Elland Road again. Then in July time we met this man in the Range in Andover, I later found out he was Simon the Pie man. We got talking about Leeds United because of his tattoos and he told us about the Hampshire Whites. That night my Dad filled in some forms online and signed us up to the Hampshire Whites. Before long we got our badges in the post and we were members.

A rare trip to Wembley for Hampshire Whites!
To be so close to clinching automatic promotion back to the premier league and then fall away at the end was disappointing to see. But, looking at the overall picture and the mass exodus of players leaving or wanting to leave during pre-season the team have done incredibly well under the management of Daniel Farke.
Daniel and Sebastian (HW Juniors) are mascots for the Blackburn match.
