In his mind, Brian Deane had reached the promised land when he signed on the dotted line to join his hometown club Leeds United in 1993.
The Whites had paid a club record £2.9million to prise him away from Sheffield United and Deane headed to Elland Road off the back of a goal-laden campaign 36 miles down the M1 at Bramall Lane.
Deane notched 11 goals in his debut campaign in West Yorkshire and a further nine times in his second season as Leeds registered back-to-back fifth place finishes. However, by his own admission, the former England international says the weight of expectation was something he'd never experienced before.
