Gary McAllister: # 11 MOT 100 Greatest LUFC Players Ever

Gary McAllister (1990-1996)

Born Motherwell in 1964, Gary McAllister proved to be the most consistent Leeds player in his six seasons at Elland Road, and was as articulate off the field as on it. After winning the Second Division championship, Howard Wilkinson sought to add skill to United's muscular approach and beat off a challenge from Brian Clough to land the rising Leicester City star for £1m. McAllister dovetailed perfectly with Strachan, Batty and Speed to form an all-star international midfield, which was magnificent as Leeds won the 1991-92 title. Captain of Leeds and Scotland, he won most of his 50+ caps while at Leeds where he played 293 games, scoring 45 times. He left for Coventry for £3m in 1996 and also played for Liverpool before returning to Coventry as player/manager.
