Ex-Leeds United midfielder reflects on 'special' Elland Road Champions League nights

Lee Bowyer has labelled the 'special times' at Leeds United as the favourite of his career as a player. Bowyer spent six-and-a-half years at Elland Road and established himself as a firm fan favourite during his time with the club.

The 45-year-old scored 51 goals across 256 appearances for Leeds and was apart of a side that enjoyed some extremely memorable nights together. The Whites secured five consecutive top five finishes in the Premier League in the late 1990's and early 2000's, while also reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Bowyer is still fondly remembered as one of Leeds' best players during the Premier League era thanks to his ability to score from midfield. Speaking on talkSPORT, Bowyer claimed the atmosphere of Elland Road Champions League nights were indescribable, before revealing how his former assistant at Charlton Athletic labelled Leeds as his 'second team' after going to a game together a few years ago.
