John Lukic: # 52 MOT 100 Greatest LUFC Players Ever

John Lukic (1979-1983, 1990-1996)

He signed for Leeds in 1978 where he succeeded David Harvey despite opposition from future internationals David Seaman and Henry Smith. He made his debut in 1979 and made a club record 146 consecutive appearances. After gaining England Youth and under 23 honours his run was broken when he asked for a transfer and he was signed by Arsenal in 1983 for £125,000. He never gained full international status but won a League Cup Winners and runners up medal together with a League Championship medal before returning to LUFC for £1m in 1990. He had a brilliant season as United took the championship in 1992. He played 430 games before returning to Arsenal in 1996.
