Whatever division Leeds United find themselves in, it always seems like they are fighting either at the top or bottom of the table. While avoiding relegation is the aim this season, the objective has often been securing promotion in years gone by.
That was the case 32 years ago today as the Whites took a huge step towards the Second Division title with a 4-0 win against Sheffield United at Elland Road. A brace from Gordon Strachan along with goals from Lee Chapman and Gary Speed were more than enough to see off their Yorkshire (and promotion) rivals on April 16, 1990.
Up until the final sixteen minutes, it was a close game with just one goal the difference but Howard Wilkinson’s side scored three goals in the latter stages to take the game away from the Blades. We have taken a look at the 11 players who started that game for Leeds and looked into where they are now.
