Reading striker Shane Long has revealed that he supported Leeds United during his childhood.
Leeds, who were managed by Long's fellow compatriot David O'Leary at the turn of the century, had Irish internationals such as Gary Kelly, Ian Harte, and Robbie Keane in their ranks.
That Irish connection resonated with Long, and the former West Brom, Hull City and Southampton star built up an affection for Leeds as a result.
