Former Leeds United midfielder Jonny Howson has praised three Leeds United captains during his time at Elland Road. After coming through the ranks at the Whites, he made his first-team debut in the League Cup against Barnet in September 2006.
Howson would go on to make a further 11 appearances for Leeds during his maiden season a senior professional, before cementing his place as a regular in the side. The Whites' relegation to League One certainly helped Howson's chances of getting first-team minutes and this became a theme throughout their time in the third division.
At the beginning of Leeds' third campaign in League One, Howson was appointed the new Whites vice-captain and due to the absence of club captain Richard Naylor took the captaincy for the start of the season. It was a role that Howson flourished in as he guided the Leeds to promotion back to the Championship.
