Madeley | Paul Edward/Paul | 27-08-1962 | 1962-1981 | CH/MF | Beeston, Leeds | 20-09-1944 | Capped twenty-four times by England, one of the Leeds all-time greats, he was a regular in the great Leeds teams of the late sixties and early seventies and yet never had a regular position, such was his versatility. He joined Leeds from Farsley Celtic in May 1962, when he played mainly at Centre-half and like his fellow players in the Juniors soon progressed through the Reserve team, although with Madeley he did not make his first team debut until January 1964 and it was a couple of years before he was truly a regular. Nevertheless, he became a member of the team that swept all before them and was an integral part of their success until he finally retired at the end of the 1980-81 season, with his record of thirty-three goals in seven hundred and twelve starts and fifteen games from the bench in all competitions.

He made his first team debut in February 1936 and soon became a regular, which was quite a feat with internationals Willis Edwards, Wilf Copping and Bobby Browne all vying for the two wing half positions. He went on to make seventy first team appearances, but his career was ruined by the WW2, as although he made over one hundred war-time appearances for United, he was in his prime at that time and time and injuries meant that he could not play for United after the Football recommenced after WW2.

Huddersfield saw the potential and signed him on 11th December 1929 and he rewarded them with sixty-one League goals in seventy-nine games in four seasons.

He was twenty-two when he joined Rotherham United from Ashton United in March 1993 for £15,000 and went on to score once in eleven League starts and four more from the bench.

He was loaned to Macclesfield Town in March 1995 and scored once in seven appearances in the 1994-95 season.

While at Chorley he was loaned to Ashton United and scored three goals in six appearances before leaving for Barrow in 1997. He helped them win the Northern Premier League, scoring the title clinching goal against nearest rivals Boston Utd. He moved to Stalybridge Celtic in 1999 and scored thirteen goals in thirty-four appearances before leaving in 2000.

He soon progressed to the Reserves and went on to make his League debut in March 1953. He was for a few seasons in direct opposition to Jack Charlton for the Centre-Half position once John Charles had moved to the forwards. It was in that period that he made his seventy-five first-team appearances. However, the future World Cup winning centre-half prevailed and Marsden had to be satisfied to play second fiddle in the Reserves. This he did for several seasons before joining Barrow in March 1959. He made forty-seven League appearances for them before moving to Carlisle United in September 1960. He made eighty-eight League appearances at Brunton Park, before leaving in July 1964 to finish his League career with Doncaster Rovers with two League games in 1964.(Leeds United Player Details) |

Masinga | Philomen Raul/Phil/Chippa | 17-08-1994 | 1994-1996 | IR | Klerksdorp, South Africa | 28-06-1969 | Masinga started his football career at Primary School, and joined the coaching schools of Jomo Sono and joined Jomo Midas Cosmos in 1988. He was soon noticed by Mamelodi Sundowns and he moved to them in 1991. He was an almost instant success with the Pretoria side and was called up by South Africa for his first cap against Cameroon at Kings Park Stadium in Durban on 7th July 1992. He scored his first International goal in his third International, just four days later against the same opposition. He and Lucas Radebe were spotted by Leeds United's scout Geoff Speight. Striker Masinga completed his move to Leeds in August 1994 for £250,000 from Mamelodi Sundowns and Lucas Radebe was bought from Kaizer Chiefs for the same amount. The tall goalscorer had helped the Sundowns to the South Africa title the previous season with eighteen goals and was first choice for Bafana Bafana and soon settled into his scoring rhythm in Leeds' pre-season friendlies, scoring five times in two games against poor opposition in Italy, as he set about trying to force himself into the Leeds team. He was already up against Rod Wallace, Brian Deane and David White, as well as up-and-coming Noel Whelan and Jamie Forrester, but late in his first season goalscoring sensation Tony Yeboah also arrived. However, he quickly showed his poaching talents at the top level, scoring a nine-minute extra-time hat-trick after coming on as a substitute against Walsall in an FA Cup replay. His first season at Leeds saw him progress, but with the advent of Tony Yeboah and the rise of Noel Whelan and the arrival of Tomas Brolin, he was only used sparingly in his second year, although he collected an African Cup of Nations winners’ medal when the competition was staged in his native South Africa. Tall and leggy, he showed good ball skills, but his individual style did not always fit in with United’s system. Christened "Waltzing Masinga", he was popular with the fans, who appreciated his wholehearted endeavour. He scored five League goals in twenty starts and eleven games as a substitute, while at Elland Road. He had taken his International appearances to twenty-five before he left Leeds for Swiss club St Gallen in July 1996 for £500,000, after being unable to get an extension to his work permit, due to the lack of first team appearances. He only featured in ten games in Switzerland before joining Italian side Salernitana later in the 1996-97 season and there he scored four goals in sixteen games. He then moved on to Bari, where he established himself as a successful fringe player, scoring twenty-four goals in seventy-five games in his five seasons' stay. He had remained a regular with Bafana Bafana during his European sojourn and was part of the team that finished second to Egypt in the 1998 African Cup of Nations. He also scored the goal in 1997 against the Democratic Republic of Congo which took South Africa to the 1998 World Cup in France. In July 2001 he signed for Coventry City but ran into work permit problems once more. He went to Al-Wahda in Abu Dabai for the 2001-2002 season. He retired after an injury to a knee that had already been the subject of two operations. Masinga represented South Africa fifty-eight times Fifty-three starts and five appearances as a substitute scoring nineteen goals, making his final appearance as a sixty-ninth minute substitute against Sweden in Stockholm on 15th August 2001 and scoring his nineteenth and final goal in the twenty-sixth minute of his fifty-fifth International appearance in a 2-1 win over Malawi in the World Cup Qualifier on 25th February 2001. South African fans remained faithful to Masinga and he had a considerable following, being widely regarded as one of the best South African strikers of all time. In 2006 he briefly coached PJ Stars in the Mvela Golden League. He was also an ambassador for South Africa’s bid for the 2010 World Cup. (Leeds United Player Details) |

Mason | Clifford Ernest/Cliff | 08-12-1962 | 1962-1964 | LB | York | 27-11-1929 | Mason started with Sunderland in January 1950, but never made the first team and moved to Darlington in July 1952. He played one hundred and seven League games for them before moving to Sheffield United in August 1955. While not always first choice, he remained at Bramall Lane until March 1962, having scored twice in ninety-seven League games. He then joined Leeds, who were fighting to stave off relegation and enlisted the help of several experienced players. His experience did ensure survival for Leeds and, for a time, he was captain and a steadying influence but Leeds had several youngsters, and the converted Willie Bell, who soon overtook him in the fight for the left back position. So, in February 1964, after thirty-three appearances in all competitions, he moved to Scunthorpe United where he scored once in twelve League games before the end of the season, when he joined Chesterfield in July 1964 and managed five League appearances before he retired at the end of the 1964-65 season.

Mason | Robert/Bobby | 01-04-1922 | 1922-1927 | CH | Whitburn | 13-05-1901 | 00-00-1981 | He was signed from Whitburn on 20th March 1922 after a period on trial in which he had made his Reserve team debut. He added two or more games before the end of the season and soon became the Reserve team first choice Centre Half and a more than capable deputy for Ernie Hart, whenever the need arose, with the first team. He gave the club outstanding service until the end of the 1926-27, when he was transferred to Bristol Rovers. He failed to make a League appearance at Eastville and he returned to the North-East where he scored once in thirteen appearances with Hartlepools United in the 1928-29 before finishing his playing days at West Stanley.

Matthews | Lee Joseph/Lee | 28-12-1995 | 1995-2001 | CF | Middlesbrough | 16-01-1979 | The 6ft 1ins 13st 3lb Centre Forward scored on his debut in the Reserves in his only appearance for them in the 1995-96 season, but in his first year traineeship he had shown his worth with seventeen goals in sixteen starts and six from the bench for the strong Leeds Youth team that finished runner up in the Northern Intermediate League. It got much better for the Juniors the following year as they won the League and the F.A. Youth Cup, with Matthews playing a leading role with twenty-six goals in twenty-two starts in the League and five goals in ten starts and one game from the bench in the Cup. He also scored once in three starts and two games from the bench in the Reserves. He signed professional forms in August 1997 and in early 1998 he made three substitute appearances for the first team, but with Rod Wallace, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank and Alan Smith in front of him in the pecking order he had to bide his time, but when the first two left they were replaced by Darren Huckerby and Michael Bridges and in 2001-02 Mark Viduka was added. In September 1998 he was loaned to Notts County, where he started five games, before he was injured and only recovered in March 2000, when he was loaned to Gillingham and started five games. He was then loaned to Bristol City on 15th March 2001 and scored when making his debut as a substitute on 20th March 2001. He was signed on a permanent contract for £100,000, but in three years he had only scored eight goals in a further fourteen starts in the League but had also come on as a substitute in twenty-eight more. He had been a regular initially but he missed many games due to an ankle injury. He was going to have an operation in the close season but opted to rest it instead. Manager Danny Wilson was frustrated by the situation and placed him on the transfer list in April 2002. The 2002-03 season was a disaster as Matthews suffered a slipped disc and it took him ten months to recover. The 2003-04 season was another failure as he was used mostly as a substitute and was loaned out to three clubs, Darlington, from 10th December 2003 to 11th January 2004, when he scored once in six starts, Bristol Rovers, from 12th January to 17th March 2004, when he started nine League games without scoring, and to Yeovil Town, from 18th March to 9th May 2004, where he started two and was a substitute twice in the League without scoring. He joined Port Vale on a free transfer on 9th June 2004 and found form with ten goals in the League from twenty-one starts and thirteen from the bench but while he justified himself in the 2004-05 season, 2005-06 was a disaster as his injury problems worsened and he played just three games. He was released at the end of that season. He then joined Crewe Alexandra on a free transfer on 30th August 2006 but failed to score in ten substitute appearances as injuries again took their toll and he was released on 31st May 2007. He was signed on a free transfer by Scottish side Livingston on 1st July 23007, but only started three League games and two games from the bench in which he failed to score and was released on 31st May 2008.

In the closing weeks of their championship season of 1991-92 season he went on a month’s loan to Leeds United and, while he never set foot on the pitch in the famous white shirt, he was an unused substitute in the 5-1 thrashing of Wimbledon at Elland Road on 14th March that season, and again in the 0-0 home draw with West Ham United. He did, however, also start five games for the Reserve team. He had been largely overlooked by new Leicester Manager Brian Little and when Leeds did not extend his loan period he moved back north of the border to Hearts. He remained at Hearts from 22nd July 1992 to 25th August 1993, making sixteen Scottish League starts and two substitute appearances without scoring. He joined up with Irish League club Glenavon on 1st December 1993. He arrived at Ballymena United, in July 1995, where he scored twice and made twenty-two appearances in the following season, before leaving Ireland in May 1996. He returned to the Midlands with Leicester United, until they went out of existence and then had spells with Corby Town, VS Rugby, Hinchley Town and then coached his old team Glenavon and Oadby Town.

Maybury | Alan Paul/Alan | 21-12-1995 | 1995-2001 | RB | Dublin, Republic of Ireland | 08-08-1978 | The 5ft 8ins and 11st 4lb defender started at Leeds in central defence before being converted to right back but had the versatility to play most defensive positions. He had been discovered playing with Dublin Junior club, St Kevin's Boys Club, who he started with in August 1994 but signed as a Trainee with Leeds on 17th August 1995. He made his first team debut in February 1996, made thirteen appearances for the Reserve team in the 1995-96, as well as twenty-three starts in the Youth team. He started seven and came off the bench on two more occasions for the reserves in the 1996-97 season and was a regular in the Youth team that won the Northern Intermediate League and the F.A. Youth Cup, starting twenty-five League games together with one from the bench, while in the Cup he started all eleven ties. He went on to start ten and came of the bench on four occasions in the League for the first team in his six year stay at Leeds, as Gary Kelly was almost ever-present in the right back role. So he featured regularly in the reserves and was twice loaned out to other clubs. He was loaned to Reading from 25th March to 9th May 1999, making eight starts and then from 6th October to 5th November 2000 with Crewe Alexandra where he started six League games. Rather than face life in the Leeds Reserves he opted to move to Heart of Midlothian in Scotland for £100,000 on 12th October 2001. He made one hundred and twelve Scottish League appearances at Tynecastle, of which two were as a substitute before leaving for Leicester City on 6th January 2005. He scored four goals in eighty-five League games for the Foxes of which two were from the bench in a three year stay. He was released by Leicester on 15th May 2008. He moved back to Scotland, on loan with Aberdeen on 31st January 2008, starting thirteen Scottish League games before leaving on 23rd May 2008. He had a trial with Bristol City on 23rd July 2008. After a three week trial, he went to Colchester United on a free transfer on 12th December 2008 and signed a further contract on 23rd June 2009. He started twenty-six League games and had one as a substitute before returning on 20th August 2112 to Scotland with St Johnstone. He started thirty-eight Scottish League and also came off the bench on another fourteen occasions. On 1st August 2012 he joined Hibernian on a free transfer on a one year contract, and made forty-one Scottish League appearances, of which three were as a substitute. He extended his contract for another year in 2013 as a player and also coach of the development team. The club was relegated at the end of 2013-14 season and Maybury was released. Now rising thirty-six, he looked to the future and coaching when he joined Falkirk on 3rd July 2014 He took charge of the club's Development squad but still played six games, including one as a substitute but had not played since 22nd November 2014. While always in the shadow of Gary Kelly, he made two appearances for the Republic of Ireland's Under-Twenty-One in 1998 and in the same year he represented the "B" team once. He gained ten full caps for the Republic.(Leeds United Player Details) |

McAllister | Gary | 31-03-1993 | 1990-1996 | IR | Motherwell | 25-12-1964 | He started with Fir Park Boys Club, before joining the professional ranks with his native Motherwell in 1981. He was blooded into the Motherwell side at a very early age with a substitute appearance in each of the 1981-82 and 1982-83 seasons before making seventeen starts and four substitute appearances as Motherwell were relegated from the Scottish Premier Division in 1983-84. He was then part of the Motherwell team of 1984-85 which gained promotion to the top flight as Champions of the Scottish First Division, scoring six goals in thirty-four starts and one substitute appearance. There was constant speculation in Scotland about his future because of his great vision and passing accuracy and on 15th August 1985, after one game further for Motherwell in the 1985-86 season, he headed for Leicester City with teammate Ally Mauchlen, later to have a month’s loan with Leeds, in a £250,000 deal. He scored six goals in fifty-two starts and seven substitute appearances in the Scottish League while at Fir Park. He settled in well at Filbert Street and his classic passing style soon gained him plenty of admirers and international recognition as he was called up by Scotland "B" firstly on 28th April 1987 in a 1-1 draw with France "B" at Pittodrie, when he scored the Scottish goal, and two days later at the same venue and against the same country he was again on target as the scoreline was repeated in his Under-Twenty-One debut. He went on to gain a second Under-Twenty-One cap on 14th November 1989 in a 2-0 win over Norway at Muirton Park, Perth, home of St Johnstone, and on 27th March 1990 he returned to his former home ground of Fir Park to gain his second "B" cap in a 0-0 draw with Yugoslavia, before making his full Scotland debut on 25th April 1990 in a 0-1 defeat by East Germany at Hampden Park. His Leicester career had seen him establish himself as a major force in their midfield and an outstanding talent in the Second Division once Leicester had been relegated in 1986-87. He had regularly contributed to the Foxes' goal tally with seven in thirty-one games in 1985-86, and nine in thirty-nine games, while they were in the top flight and this continued as they fell into the Second Division. He was the even club's leading goalscorer in two seasons, as he scored nine in forty starts and two games from the bench in 1987-88 and ten goals in forty-three starts in 1989-90, but his best season was 1988-89 when he scored eleven goals in forty-six starts. He had established his danger from set pieces, particularly from the penalty-spot and free-kicks within shooting range. It was clear he was destined for greater things, but he rejected a £1.15 million move to Nottingham Forest because he was unimpressed by Brian Clough’s blunt approach. With Forest out of the picture and McAllister out of contract, Leeds swooped and a transfer tribunal set the fee at £1 million. After scoring forty-seven goals in one hundred and ninety-nine starts and two substitute League appearances, while at Filbert Street, he arrived at Elland Road with three caps to his name but soon became a Scotland regular and became rated as one of Europe’s best midfielders. Midfield Architect McAllister proved the most consistant Leeds player in his six seasons at Elland Road, and was as articulate off the field as on it. His purchase after United's rise to th EPL signalled a change of emphasis as Leeds sought to add skill to the muscular aspect of their game. Leeds performed well in 1990-91, McAllister's first season at Elland Road. The club finished fourth in the table and reached the League Cup semi-finals, not a bad accomplishment for a newly promoted side. McAllister dovetailed perfectly with Gordon Strachan, David Batty and Gary Speed and the all-star international midfield quartet were magnificent as Leeds won the 1991-92 First Division title and followed up by taking the Charity Shield. The rest of McAllister's time at Leeds saw the club fail to recapture those heights. Despite this, between 1992 and 1996, he captained the side and won a special place in the hearts of Leeds United fans with his fine attitude and blistering long-range strikes. His final season with Leeds, 1995-1996, may have been disappointing, as they finished sixteenth in the Premiership, but it allowed McAllister to achieve one of his first footballing ambitions, to captain a side at Wembley. He led his side out in the 1996 League Cup Final but the game ended in a dismal 0-3 defeat by Aston Villa. McAllister succeeded Gordon Strachan as captain for both club and country and rarely missed a match in his time at Elland Road. He led Scotland’s assault on the 1996 European Championships but unfortunately for him, he would not want to dwell on the competition after missing a penalty which would have drawn Scotland level against England at Wembley. It was all the more unusual, as apart from being the possessor of a wide variety of skills, he was a proven deadly exponent of free-kicks and penalties. He always looked comfortable in possession, packed a powerful shot and proved an intelligent ambassador for the club before his sale to Coventry City for £3 million in July 1996. He scored thirty-one League goals from two hundred and thirty starts an one more as a substistute at Elland Road. While at Leeds his International career had seen him score four goals in thirty-seven starts and four games from the bench to bring his caps to forty-four. From 1996 until 2000 McAllister served Coventry first under manager Ron Atkinson and then former Leeds team-mate Gordon Strachan. He scored twenty goals in one hundred and nineteen starts in the League at Highfield Road. His International career came to an end on 31st March 1999, when he Captained Scotland at Celtic Park as they went down 1-2 to the Czech Republic and he had added thirteen more caps to his collection to bring it to fifty-seven, including five as a substitute. In his forty-eighth start for Scotland on 8th June 1997, in a 1-0 win in Minsk over Belarus in a Group Four World Cup qualifier he scored from the penalty spot to register his fifth and final International goal to get the Scotland winner. He had just won the Coventry City "Player of the Year" award for the 1999-20000 season, so it came as he shock when, on 1st July 2000, he completed a surprise move to Liverpool. Not many would have doubted McAllister's ability but many Reds fans may have questioned manager Gerard Houllier’s decision to sign a player who was by now thirty-five years old. With Liverpool he won a League Cup winners’ medal, an F.A. Cup winners’ medal and a UEFA Cup winners’ medal in 2000-01, in which he also won the "Man of the Match" award in the final, and also won the Charity Shield and European Super Cup in 2001-02. He scored five times in fifty-five League appearances, twenty of which were as a substitute, while at Anfield. On 13th May 2002 he became Player-Manager and scored ten goals in fifty five League starts, in his second spell at Coventry. As the holder of more than fifty caps he became a member of the Scotland Football Hall of Fame. He was a member of the Scotland 1990 World Cup squad and captained their Euro 1996 team. In 2001 he received an MBE for services to football. He became Manager at Elland Road on 29th January 2008 and led the club to the League One Play-off Final at Wembley. During his second season as Manager McAllister was sacked on 21st December 2008 after a poor string of results. Since then he has coveted the Motherwell Manager's job, turned down the offer of a job on the coaching team for Scotland, and then finally decided not to become Paul Hart's assistant at Portsmouth. On 20th May 2010 he was appointed First Team Coach at Middlesbrough by Gordon Strachan. On 18th September 2010, he became Gerard Houllier's Assistant Manager at Aston Villa. After Houllier was rushed to hospital McAllister became Caretaker-Manager for the Premier League home game against Stoke City on 23rd April 2011, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Although Villa went down 1-2 at West Bromwich Albion a week later, McAllister was then in charge of the team in a 1-1 home draw with Wigan Athletic the following weekend followed by a 2-1 away win against Arsenal on 15th May 2011 and a 1-0 home win over Liverpool a week later. Despite this, it was announced on 17th June 2011, that after the appointment of Alex McLeish as Manager, that McAllister would not return to the club. (Leeds United Player Details) |

He spent half the season with the Reserves before intermittently regaining his first team spot as inside, and then, outside right. It was a similar story in the following season before he found the outside left spot more to his liking in the 1954-55 season. He went on to score eight goals in sixty-two League games before leaving for Lovell's Athletic in the 1955 close season. On 23rd July 1956 he returned to League football with Halifax Town where he scored fifteen goals in one hundred and thirty-nine League games in a four year stay.

McCalliog | James/Jim | 01-04-1963 | 1963-1963 | IF | Glasgow | 23-09-1946 | A Scottish International Schoolboy he joined the Leeds Juniors as an amateur and signed after a trial in May 1963 and had progressed to the Leeds Reserves and seemed destined to follow in the path of several other Scottish players on the Leeds books at that time but he decided to join Tommy Docherty at Chelsea in September 1963. He scored twice in seven League appearances at Stamford Bridge but he was obviously destined for better things. He did fulfill his potential gaining five full Scottish Caps and as well as caps at each level. In October 1965, he joined Sheffield Wednesday and scored nineteen goals in one hundred and fifty League games. He left the Owls for Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 1969, where he scored thirty-four goals in one hundred and sixty-three League games, including five from the bench. He moved to Manchester United in March 1974 and there scored seven goals in thirty-one League games.

McClelland | John | 30-08-1989 | 1989-1992 | CH | Belfast | 07-12-1955 | He started in his home country with Portadown at an early age and his games did enough to impress Cardiff City, who paid £8,0000 to signed him in February 1974. He was given his first team chance and had scored once in one League start and three games from the bench by the end of the 1974-75 season. He moved to Non-League Bangor City in June 1975 and became a very sound and much appreciated fan-favourite before Billy Bingham took him to Mansfield Town in February 1978. He scored eight goals in one hundred and twenty-two League starts together with three more as a substitute before Glasgow Rangers paid £90,000 to take him to Ibrox Park in June 1981. He had already started his collection of Northern Ireland International caps, making his debut as a substitute on 16th May 1980 and during his stay with Rangers he went on to become club captain of the Glasgow club and become a regular for them and Northern Ireland finishing with one goal from fifty-one starts and three from the bench for fifty-four caps. He scored four goals in ninety-six Scottish League starts at Ibrox before he was sold to Watford for £225,000 in November 1984. He was to stay at Vicarage Road for almost five seasons scoring three goals in one hundred and eighty-four League starts, when Howard Wilkinson brought him to Leeds for £110,000 in June 1989, as defensive cover. That was to be his role for his time at Elland Road as he understudied Chris Fairclough, Peter Haddock and later Chris Whyte while the younger Jon Newsome and David Wetherill also waited. He was loaned out to former club, Watford, for one game in January 1990, and Notts County in March 1992, where he started six League games. For Leeds, he started twenty-two and came from the bench twice in League games before joining Scottish Premier side, St Johnstone, as player-coach in July 1992.

He moved back across the Irish Sea for eleven League starts with Carrick Rangers, but soon moved back to Scotland with Arbroath for two games. He then linked up with Wycombe Wanderers in February 1994, but did not play, before joining Yeovil Town in the GM Vauxhall Conference the following month, scoring one goal in twenty-one games, of which one was off the bench. In March 1996 he was appointed assistant to Chris Kamara at Bradford City after playing in the Northern Counties East League with Farsley Celtic.

He had played with local side Bellurgan FC and then Dundalk FC before being spotted by Leeds United. He played juniors and reserve team level for three years, while at Elland Road, also making a few appearences for Ireland at Youth Level. His progress had been restricted by injuries and the sheer weight of talent available as the club shored up their ranks to meet their European dreams and he was released by Leeds. It appeared that he had joined Conference side Exeter City as terms seemed to have been agreed. But financial problems at the club caused them to renege and McCrystal returned to his homeland taking up a job in the family jewellery business and also joining Newry Town in the early part of 2000-01 for a short time before joining his hometown team and playing in the European Cup in 2001-02. Injuries once more sidelined him and he rejoined Newry Town on loan for the second half of the 2002-03 season.

He had scored six goals in forty-four League starts and eight more from the bench for Posh, when he left to join Wycombe Wanderers on a free transfer in August 1995. For some reason his time at Wycombe was forgettable as he could only manage four appearances as a substitute in the next two seasons but struggled to settle into the first team, making only four appearances (all as substitute) in nearly two seasons. He did go on loan to Cardiff City from March until the end of the season and started seven League games in that time. He left Wycombe on a free transfer and joined Hereford United in March 1997.

McMaster | Jamie | 31-08-1999 | 1999-2005 | WH/IF | Sydney, Australia | 29-11-1982 | Though born in Sydney, McMaster was brought up in Gosford on the Central coast of New South Wales and played football for Umina United. Like Harry Kewell he was a product of the Westfields Sports High School and the Australian Academy of Sport. He began his professional career at Leeds United in 1999 as a sixteen year-old where he joined several Australians in the squad and committed his international future to England. He made his debut for the England Under-Eighteen team on 8th March 2000, and he received five caps at that level and went on to play twice for England's Under-Twenty team. McMaster was loaned out to Coventry City for a month in November 2002 and played twice for them. Terry Venables gave him four substitute appearances in 2002-03, but all were well after the hour mark. He next went to Chesterfield on a month’s loan in January 2004 and made six appearances, including two as substitute and scored twice. Kevin Blackwell had taken over the reins at Elland Road and he gave him five games in the League and one in the League Cup as a late substitute on all occasions, but he included him in the starting line-up for the League Cup tie with Swindon Town on 21st September 2004 and Leeds scored a 1-0 win. McMaster was replaced by Simon Walton after sixty-one minutes but he must have impressed the Swindon Town Manager, Andy King, as he moved to sign McMaster on a month's loan from Leeds in September 2004. He scored once in two starts and two games from the bench in the League. He was recalled to Leeds, bizarrely due to an injury to James Beattie at Southampton! Beattie's injury meant that the Saints recalled Brett Ormerod from his loan spell at Elland Road, and in turn, McMaster returned there as cover. McMaster had once again returned and after two final minutes substitute appearances in early December 2004, he was once again was loaned out, this time he went on loan to Peterborough United in January 2005 where the midfielder helped the team fight relegation and played four games, three in the League and one in the F.A. Cup, without scoring. Upset with the amount of times he had been loaned out, McMaster requested he be transferred from Leeds, while still on Peterborough's list. McMaster never came close to fulfilling the huge expectations placed upon him at Elland Road. He came off the bench on eleven occasions in the League and while he started once in the League Cup, and once off the bench, he never scored. Upon returning to Leeds for the rest of the 2004-05 season he was once again loaned out, this time to Chesterfield with a view to making it permanent. The loan made him available for the match on Saturday and on Monday 7th March 2005 he was given a free transfer and he joined the Spireites. There was scant reward for either the club or the player after so many years of hard work and unfilled promise, he played eight games, including two from the bench. He was not retained by Chesterfield for the 2005-06 season and had trials with Bradford City and Danish club Aarhus GF. He joined Aarhus but did not stay long, playing just five games before returning home to Australia to join the Central Coast Mariners in the A-League. McMaster was the most high profile of the three signings the Mariners made close to the end of the 2005-06 season. McMaster, while brought up on the Central Coast had gone on to represent England at youth level while at Leeds United. Despite this, McMaster was determined to make the Socceroos squad and had come back to Australia to restore his career and move foward with that goal. McMaster was used as a squad player by the Mariners, making one start and five substitute appearances with playing time of just one hundred and forty-three minutes, before the end of the 2005-06 season but 2006-07 saw him make fourteen starts in nineteen appearances, in a twenty-one game competition, and he opened his scoring account with a goal in the sixth minute on 3rd November 2006 in a 3-3 draw at Melbourne Victory. Unfortunately, competition under the salary cap meant he was surplus to requirements in the "A" League and was released on 14th April 2007. After a spell out of the game where he went travelling, McMaster returned to action in the NSW Premier League and joined APIA Leichhardt Tigers in May 2008, who changed their name to Sydney Tigers in December 2008. Now twenty-five, he made his Lambert Park debut as a substitute and became an instant favourite as he scored a goal within minutes of entering the fray in a NSW Premier League clash between Apia Leichhardt Tigers and Sutherland Sharks on 18th May 2008. After being out of the game for so long it gave him renewed confidence. He stayed with them until the end of the season, and he scored five goals in ten starts and one game as a substitute. He stayed until he joined Wollongong (South Coast Wolves) in June 2009, where he scored once in three starts and one game from the bench. He joined Bonnyrigg White Eagles in the New South Wales Premier League for the start of the 2010 season and had scored eight times in forty-two appearances, in a two season stay, before moving to Marconi Stallions for the 2012 season. Marconi beat his former team 2-0 in the Grand Final of the 2012 season and he scored twice in twenty-one appearances in the season. He joined Sutherland Sharks for the 2013 season and they finished fifth, with McMaster scoring twice in eighteen appearances.The first of his goals came on the opening day of the season on 16th March 2013 in a 4-0 away win over his former club, South Coast Wolves and the second came on 25th May 2013 in a 2-2 home draw with Rockdale City Suns. In season 2014 he scored on 19th April against Blacktown City and on 14th June against St George as once more he made eighteen appearances.(Leeds United Player Details) |

McStay | Henry Matthew Patrick/Henry | 12-03-2002 | 2001-2005 | CH | Lurgan, Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland | 06-03-1985 | The 5ft 11in 12st 6lb central defender started his football career with Lurgan Celtic before joining Leeds as a trainee in 2001. He progressed through the Juniors and made his Reserved debut as a sixty-second minute substitute in the latter half of the 2001-02 season. However, with the likes of Lucas Radebe, Jonathan Woodgate, Rio Ferdinand, Dominic Matteo, Michael Duberry, Ted Lucic and Matthew Kilgallon ahead of him, it was understandable that his run-on debut did not come until the last two games of the 2002-03 season. He was one of many Leeds United younger players who were surplus to requirements after the club's financial meltdown and relegation from the EPL. He had had two loan periods with Halifax Town, for a month from 24th September 2004, when he started five League games, before injury saw him return to Elland Road and another for a month from 31st March 2005, when he started two League games and came off the bench once.

He joined Belgian side Royal Antwerp who were managed by ex-Burnley player, Warren Joyce in early July 2007. He did not settle there and suffering from homesickness he returned to England to join Morecambe at the end of January 2008. He was there for over two seasons until his contract ran out in May 2010. He scored once in twenty-nine League starts and five from the bench, and scored one more in two starts in the F.A. Cup, but did not score in one game as a substitute in the League Cup and two starts and one game from the bench in the Football League Trophy. He rejoined Portadown in June 2010 on a one year contract and had played fourteen games for them, before leaving in late January 2011 due to the club wanting him to play in midweek, which interfered with his studies. He joined Bradford Park Avenue scored once in seven League starts and four from the bench and one goal in two starts in the League Cup in the 2010-11 season. He was hit by injuries and these eventually caused him to retire at the ens of the 2012-13 season.

Meek | George | 30-08-1952 | 1952-1960 | W | Glasgow | 15-02-1934 | He had just fifteen games with Hamilton Academical before Leeds snapped him up in August 1952. His ability to play on either wing, as was the case with his predecessors Harold Williams and Peter Harrison, served him well as he adapted to constant changes from wing to wing. After few Reserve games he made his first team debut in October 1952 where he became a regular feature until he was called up for National Service and spent a season on loan with Walsall as it was closer to his barracks. He scored six times in forty-four League games while on loan. On his demob he returned to Elland Road and regained his regular spot, helping Leeds to promotion to the First Division at the end of the 1955-56 season. He went on to score nineteen goals in just short of two hundred games for Leeds before leaving for Leicester City in August 1960. At Filbert Street, he only had thirteen League games before moving to Walsall a year later.

Melrose | James Millsopp/Jim | 08-10-1987 | 1987-1988 | IF | Glasgow | 07-10-1958 | A Scottish Schoolboy International, who went on to gain eight Scotland Under-Twenty-One Caps and represented the Scottish League. He started with Eastercraigs Amateurs, and Sighthill Amateurs before he joined Partick Thistle in August 1975 and getting two games as a substitute for the first team in the 1975-76 season. He went on to score thirty-one goals in one hundred and three starts and nineteen games as a substitute in the Scottish League. He seemed to have a bright future and Leicester paid £25,000 for him in August 1980. He scored twenty-one goals in seventy-two League games of which fifteen were as a substitute at Filbert Street and in September 1982 Coventry City took him to Highfield Road giving Leicester Tom English in exchange.

On 7th November 1984 he left Parkhead for Maine Road for £40,000 and helped Manchester City to promotion in the 1984-85 season. After eight goals in twenty-seven starts, and seven games as a substitute, he was sold to Charlton Athletic for £50,000 in March 1986. He did well in a struggling side at the Valley, scoring nineteen goals in forty-eight League games, of which four were as a substitute. He had also scored two goals to give them victory over Ipswich Town in the semi finals of the relegation/promotion play-offs and, much to United's displeasure, Melrose was on target again when the two-legged final with Leeds United ended 1-1 on aggregate, as he scored a last-minute winner in the first leg at the Valley against Leeds, which helped Charlton scrape through the play-offs at the end of the dramatic 1986-87 season, at the expense of Leeds. On 23rd September 1987 he joined Leeds for £50,000, going straight into the first team, however, after four League appearances, one being as a substitute, without finding the net, he spent the rest of his stay at Leeds in the Reserves. On 1st February 1988 he was sold to Shrewsbury Town for £50,000 and there he scored three goals in forty-nine League games of which twenty-two were as a substitute before being released in June 1990.(Leeds United Player Details) |

Mills | Daniel John/Danny | 26-10-1999 | 1999-2004 | RB/CH | Norwich | 18-05-1977 | Mills attended Sprowston High School and was a product of Norwich City's School of Excellence, signing for his hometown club in July 1993. Impressive in the Norwich youth team, Mills won England Youth caps and was named as a substitute for the Premiership clash with Everton in November 1994 whilst still seventeen. He made three appearances for the England Under-Eighteens. At Norwich, as in his future career, he appeared in a variety of roles in defence (right back, central defender and occasionally on the left), his versatility attracted the attention of Charlton manager Alan Curbishley who was picking a Nationwide League Under-Twenty-one side to play against their Serie A counterparts. Mills captained this side. The transfer listed defender was unhappy at the limited number of first team opportunities at Carrow Road and had sought a transfer since December 1997. Gillingham and Millwall had expressed interest on taking Mills on loan but Mike Walker sought a cash injection to fuel new squad additions prior to the transfer deadline day. Mills joined then fellow First Division side Charlton Athletic for a fee of £350,000 on 18th March 1998. While at Carrow Road Mills made sixty-six League appearances, including twenty as a substitute and scored once. In cup competions he had two FA Cup and five League Cup (including two as substitute) appearances and scored once in the League Cup. Mills' arrival at The Valley coincided with a run of form that almost won them automatic promotion into the Premiership. However, they had to settle for a play-off semi-final against Ipswich which was won despite Mills being sent off in the first leg. He played in the victory over Sunderland at Wembley that took Charlton into the Premiership. Charlton's relegation on 16th May 1999 into Division One led to increased speculation that he would depart from the Valley to fund the club's attempts to return to the top flight. He had now progressed to the England Under-Twenty-One side,and by the time he had signed for Leeds he had become a regular in the team and had six caps. Leeds supposedly made a derisory £1million bid for him but Charlton held out for four times that figure. Their hold-out was backed by his call-up on Sunday 6th June 1999 into the full England squad for the Euro 2000 clash with Bulgaria. Leeds persevered and eventually won their man on 16th June 1999. Norwich City made almost £800,000 from the sale as there was a twenty-five per cent sell-on clause from their sale on March 17th 1998. His move to Leeds ended an excellent season for him despite Charlton's relegation. While at the Valley he scored three goals in forty-five League appearances. He aso played once in the FA Cup, three times in the League Cup and twice in the play-offs. He initially found in hard to settle in Leeds and had been the subject of many a transfer rumour in his initial months at Elland Road. Mills had found it hard to displace Gary Kelly in the Leeds first team. Mills impressed in Leeds' Premiership season and in their impressive European Champions League campaign against the likes of Barcelona, Lazio, AC Milan and Real Madrid. In the meantime he maintained his place in the England Under-Twenty-One team and he went on to add another eight caps to finish with fourteen at that level. Mills' form and an injury to Wes Brown of Manchester United saw him called up for the full England squad for the matches with Mexico and Greece. He made his international debut on 25th May 2001, as a substitute for Emile Heskey of Liverpool in the sixty-seventh minute in the Mexico clash which England won 4-0 at Pride Park. There were two more substitute appearances before Elland Road was the scene of his run-on debut for England in a 1-2 defeat by Italy on 27th March 2002.He was ever-present in England's five games in the World Cup Finals in Korea/Japan and had strong performances in every game and was one of the few players to emerge with credit after the defeat to Brazil. On his return to England, he was soon linked with a £7million transfer to champions Arsenal, as Leeds sought to cut their £77 million deficit by £15 million in the summer of 2002. Failure to agree a new contract saw Mills linked, in November 2002, with a £8 million move to Middlesbrough whose Manager Steve McClaren was known by Mills from their England exploits. The following month saw Arsenal linked with a £5 million move for Mills to replace Oleg Luzhny. Unbelievably, Mills was given a five year contract at £40,000 per week despite the Leeds financial situation. This was to have severe ramifications for the future of the club. Poor form in Leeds' pre-season matches saw Mills dropped from Leeds' first game of the 2003-04 season against Newcastle. He expressed his displeasure at going from European Championship qualifier appearances to the reserves in mere months. Leeds manager Peter Reid didn't appreciate Mills' point-of-view and allegedly told Mills that he had played his last game for Leeds. Birmingham hoped to take advantage of this rift and approached Leeds to take Mills on loan for the 2003-04 season. Middlesbrough also expressed interest in a similar loan deal whilst Kevin Keegan's Manchester City were linked with a £2 million transfer bid. Any of these would have helped Leeds' perilous financial situation. After completing a dozen caps for England by the end of the World Cup, Mills continued to accumulate another five before his "bust up" with Reid. He took his caps to eighteen, while at Leeds United. In the end, he joined Middlesbrough on loan for the 2003-04 season with a view to a later permanent deal. In January 2004, Middlesbrough started exploring the possibility of a permanent move for Mills. He helped 'Boro win the 2004 Carling Cup final, which was their first ever piece of silverware in their entire history. He played his nineteenth and final time for England in a 1-1 draw with Portugal on 18th February 2004. He was linked with a move to Rangers at the end of March 2004 although Alex McLeish faced competition from Boro and Birmingham. He was also linked with a return to Carrow Road but this was quickly dismissed by Nigel Worthington. In the end, Mills signed a five year contract for Kevin Keegan's Manchester City on 13th July 2004 on a free transfer, following Smith, Viduka, Milner, Harte and Robinson out of Elland Road. As part of his severence package with Leeds, Mills continued to receive part of his wages from the Yorkshire club for the duration of his original Leeds contract. While on the season’s loan to Middlesbrough he made twenty-eight League appearances, two in the FA Cup and seven in the League Cup. While at Leeds he scored three League goals in one hundred and one games, of which four were as a substitute, and started six in the F.A. Cup and was one a substitute, without scoring, while there was one goal in four starts in the League Cup and he started twenty-seven and came off the bench twice, without scoring in European competition. He made his City debut at the City of Manchester Stadium in a 1-1 draw with Fulham on 14th August 2004 but after losing his place at Manchester City to Nedum Onuoha, he was linked with a move to Wigan Athletic or Blackburn Rovers. He was later linked with a move to newly promoted Sunderland. Mills made it known that he was looking to leave the club in the summer of 2006 after a row with Manager Stuart Pearce. He joined Hull City on a two months loan on the 14th September 2006. He made nine appearances in the League for the Tigers. Although Mills returned to Manchester City, speculation suggested that he was keen to rejoin Hull on a permanent basis but the sticking point being the £20,000 per week cut in wages. During June 2007, Mills was linked with a move to Scotland to join Rangers. Despite the arrival of his former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson as the Manchester City boss, Mills was placed on the transfer list on 7th August 2007. Despite speculation linking him with Southampton and Hull, he rejoined Charlton on 31st August 2007 on loan until the end of December 2007. Although Charlton were keen on signing Mills permanently, he blotted his copybook with them when he was sent off in the seventy-second minute of his final games game with them on 22nd December 2007 in a 1-1 draw with his former club, Hull City, at the Valley. He played nineteen League games for Charlton. Returning to Manchester City, he was linked in the papers with Leeds United and Hull City but instead joined Derby County on 4th January 2008 on loan until the end of the season. His stay at Pride Park was cut short by injury in only his third game, and he returned to his primary employers. His stay at Manchester City saw fifty-one League appearances, including four as substitute, for one goal. He also made one FA Cup and two League Cup appearances. He made his final appearance for City on 26th August 2006 in a 1-0 home win over Arsenal, and he was released by City as soon as his contract ran out on 30th June 2009. On 7th August 2009 Mills announced his retirement from football as he could not overcome the knee injury after eighteen months out of the game and on specialists' advice he had called it a day. He had nineteen England full international caps, fourteen Under-Twenty-one caps as well as two with England Youth. (Leeds United Player Details) |

He became very popular at Painmoor, scoring thirteen goals in thirty-four League games but duly returned to Rangers in January 1950 and added a further three goals in thirty-one League games before he was sold to Cardiff City in February 1951. He did not stay long at Ninian Park, making a solitary League appearance before joining Leeds on 26th September 1951. He proved to be a fine player for Leeds, scoring some spectacular goals, but the arrival of Albert Nightingale saw him lose his spot and he left Leeds after ten goals in thirty-seven games on 18th December 1952, signing for Torquay United for that club's record fee at that time. He went on to became Torquay's finest player, scoring sixty-eight goals in three hundred and eight League games and captaining the club for much of his ten years in his second coming at Plainmoor.

Milosovic | Dejan/Danny | 27-01-2000 | 2000-2003 | Gk | Carlton, Melbourne, Australia | 26-06-1978 | A product of the Australian Institute of Sport, Milosevic started off his professional career with the Canberra Cosmos in the old NSL, where he made fourteen starts, and captained the Under-Twenty Australian side to the World Youth Cup in 1997. He had also had a spell in Germany with Arminia Bielefeld and Preussen Munster, without making their first teams, before joining Perth Glory where he was a high profile signing in 1998. He had a strong start to his time in Perth and soon gained cult hero status and went on to make seventeen appearances before he moved to Leeds for £110,000 in January 2000. Milosevic was capped by Australia at Under-Seventeen, Under-Twenty and Under-Twenty-three levels and represented Australia in the 2000 Olympic Games and the Under-Twenty World Cup in 1997. At Leeds he hardly ever got a chance with the likes of England number two, Nigel Martyn, and future England number one, Paul Robinson, ahead of him. However, he had been signed on a three year contract by David O'Leary in 2000 and later Terry Venables, who took over at the start of the 2002-03 season, had given him a further two year contract when his initial one was almost finished. He had been loaned out by Leeds to Wolverhampton Wanderers for the second half of the 2001-02 season, but a training injury saw him return to Leeds without playing a game. He was also loaned to Plymouth Argyle in November 2002, but he sustained a knee injury in his only game. This was followed by a spell at Crewe Alexandra for the second half of the 2002-03 season but he only played one game in which he had the misfortune to break his wrist. So both spells at Plymouth and Crewe, like the one with Wolves were cut short by injury. While Milosevic never played a game for Leeds in the first team he was an unused substitute for the first three games of the 2001-02 season. He was also the unused substitute on fourteen consecutive games in 2000-01. Terry Venables, who was the Leeds Manager in 2002 told Milosevic that he could be the second goalkeeper at Leeds as Nigel Martyn was looking to move on. Unfortunately for Milosevic, while Martyn did move on, so did Venables, and his successor Peter Reid did not share Venables view. He did not take kindly to Milosevic asking for his time at Crewe Alexandra to be extended. He consequently preferred Scott Carson, who was much younger and a future England Under-Twenty-One and full England goalkeeper. After a short loan spell with Hull City, where he did not play a game, with the writing on the wall and Leeds keen to save money, Milosevic was released from the playing side of his contract at the end of September 2003, but still remained on the Leeds payroll until the end of its duration. In January 2004, he was signed up on a pay as you play contract in Scotland with Celtic. After only a couple of weeks and with the two better keepers at Celtic unavailable, he was set for a call up for the starting eleven but, according to Celtic sources, decided that he wasn't being paid enough and decided to walk out on the club. According to Milosevic, his father, Zoran, had been diagnosed with a heart condition in Australia. "I was told he had a year to live so I packed my bags and headed home," Milosevic said. "My career did not pan out. With the right frame of mind I am sure it would have been different." He never returned to Glasgow, and was without a club until he joined the New Zealand Knights, on a three year contract in 2005, for the inaugural A-League season on the advice of former Leeds and Perth Glory team mate Danny Hay. The Knights first season was a disaster, despite Milosevic's often valiant efforts in keeping scorelines to more acceptable level. He played Fourteen games and was top of the saves made charts by a long distance as he was behind the worst defence in the League. A change in management for the second season saw two able goalkeepers, Mark Paston and Michael Turnbull, brought in as competition, yet Milosevic still started the season as the club's number one. However the poor morale at the club and increasing strain on them to promote more New Zealand players saw Milosevic demoted to the bench with All-White’s keeper Paston ahead of him. Consequently he only made five appearances. Before the close of the A-League's second season Milosevic was released from his contract. He moved to Inglewood United in Western Australia in January 2007 and was there until December 2007 apart from being loaned to Perth Glory as a back-up keeper in September 2007, where he only sat on the bench. He made a surprise appearance on ex-Leeds star Robbie Fowler's North Queensland Fury substitute bench in their friendly against Perth Glory on 18th July 2009.(Leeds United Player Details) |

Molenaar | Robert | 09-04-1997 | 1997-2000 | CH | Zaandam, Holland | 27-02-1969 | Molenaar started his football career in Holland and signed professional for FC Volendam in August 1992. He was always recognized as a solid and wholehearted defender and was well respected in Dutch football. Leeds Manager, George Graham, signed him for £1 million in January 1997 in an effort to plug a leaky Leeds defence. He scored twice in one hundred and twenty-five games while at Volendam. He went straight into the Leeds team and was a regular from joining until the end of the 1996-97 season. The following season, 1997-98, saw his performances decline and he slipped behind David Wetherall and Lucas Radebe as the first choice central defender. He re-established himself in the following season of 1998-99 and was once more the first choice central defender in place of David Wetherall, but a challenge by Nicolas Anelka in a game against Arsenal in December 1998 saw him suffer cruciate ligament damage, as he fell awkwardly. The injury was similar to that suffered by teammate Martin Hiden at Old Trafford only a few weeks earlier, and he was sidelined until 2000, after he had ruptured the ligament for a second time in April 1999. It proved to be his last game for Leeds and as United had Rio Ferdinand, Lucas Radebe, Jonathan Woodgate, Michael Duberry and Dominic Matteo as central defenders, Molenaar became surplus to requirements and after scoring four League goals from forty-seven starts and four games from the bench, was sold to Bradford City for £500,000 in December 2000 to help their fight against relegation alongside former teammate David Wetherall. He made his debut for the Bantams on 2nd December 2000 in a 2-1 win over Coventry City at Valley Parade. He stayed until 2003 when his contract was not renewed. At Valley Parade he scored twice in seventy-one League appearances, including one as substitute. He returned to Holland in June 2003 with RBC Roosendaal before retiring in the summer of 2007. He scored six goals in sixty-six League starts and three games from the bench with Roosendaal in the top flight. He played his final game in the Eredivisie on 9th April 2006 in a 0-5 defeat at Sparta Rotterdam when he was replaced in the sixty-second minute by Edgar Marcelino Carvalho. He played in the Jupiler League in the 2006-07 season on limited occasions with his final game coming on 3rd November 2006 in a 2-2 draw at FC Emmen. After obtaining the necessary coaching qualifications he became coach of the AZ Alkmaar Under-Nineteen team in June 2011, where he stayed for a year. During his training he had spent time at Bayern Munich and SBV Excelsior and in the 2010-11 season he was an assistant manager to Alex Pastoor at NEC Nijmegen. He became an Assistant coach under his former mentor from mid-2012, along with former Leeds winger Willem Korsten, but when Pastoor was fired, in August 2013, due to results and politics, the two ex-Leeds players went too. Molenaar became the manager of amateur side RKSV Halsteren from 2014 to 2015. He was appointed manager of First Division team FC Volendam in July 2015. (Leeds United Player Details) |

Even though he played just seventeen League appearance for the first team after his debut in September 1951, he was a Reserve team regular and a popular and dedicated clubman.
