Brian Deane (1993-1997, 2004-5)

Born Leeds, in 1968, “Deano” starred with the Leeds City Boys but after playing with the Leeds Youth team in 1984, he was allowed to join Doncaster in 1985 where his powerful displays saw him snapped up by Sheffield United. A target-man Striker, he became a prolific scorer and soon won 3 full England caps. It took a massive £2.7m to gain a return to his birthplace. Although voted Supporters Player of the year in 1994-95, he failed to live up to his goal-scoring reputation but had a fine spell on the left-side of the attack with Tony Yeboah which ensured European qualification. Allowed to leave in 1997 he returned for the 2004-05 season.
