Ian Harte (1995-2004)

Nephew of Gary Kelly, Ian Harte found himself become Leeds' regular left back in 1998 under the stewardship of George Graham after featuring frequently in the previous two seasons. Harte was a dead ball specialist becoming the free kick and penalty taker for the club leading to him scoring 39 goals in 288 appearances. Had the season of his life during Leeds' Champions League run of 2000-2001 but in later seasons was beginning to be regarded as a bit of a liability as his lack of pace and tactical ability showed through and the goals dried up. He moved to Spanish club Levante in 2004 after Leeds were relegated.
