Former Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford reveals 'hardest decision' after Everton frustration

Former Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford has revealed he quit Everton after just a season due to his own "frustration." Beckford left Elland Road in the summer of 2010 when his contract expired with Leeds to join Everton on a free transfer.

The ex-Leeds striker had been prolific during his time with the Whites, netting an impressive 85 goals in 152 games.

He played an instrumental part in helping Leeds climb out of League One and up to the Championship during the 2009/10 campaign and is also fondly remembered for his FA Cup winner against Manchester United that season at Old Trafford which saw the Whites claim a famous 1-0 win.
