Gary Sprake: # 46 MOT 100 Greatest LUFC Players Ever

Gary Sprake (1962-1973)

Remembered more for two errors than for his wonderful 11 years (and over 200 clean sheets) of helping Leeds win cups and top league places. The gum chewing, 37 times capped for Wales keeper still remains our record appearances for a goalie. His totally unsighted, instinctive save in Hungary denied the greatly superior Ferencvaros, to give Leeds the honour of being the 1st English club to win the Fairs Cup Final. But alas, history will remember Gary differently. He moved to Birmingham in 1973, for £100,000 - after an alleged estrangement from Don Revie.
