Welcome to our forum, first of all.
A few guidelines, if I may 
1. Try to keep to a topic per post. You have a couple in this one + a poll on a completely different subject. 
2. Before posting, especially as a new member, browse around the forum a bit, maybe even do a search for some key words, there's a high chance we've already been through it so you can just add your thoughts on an old thread. There's already a topic about next season's line up, for example (here), and the favourite all-time squad is a recurring topic, but we can't all re-post the same thing for every new member.
3. Topic titles usually start with an uppercase, but if you want to underline something in the post, please use the text-formatting options (like bold) rather than ALL CAPS.
4. Just a click on the submit button then a bit of patience, please. 
Hope it's not off-putting, but it's common sense stuff that we try to go by.

Having been a Leeds fan now for 5 decades this is an impossible job for me.
However - here goes :
Anyone brought up during the Revie era as I was would pick the entire team at that time
1 Harvey
2 Madeley
3 Cooper
4 Bremner
5 Charlton
6 Hunter
7 Lorimer
8 Clarke
9 Jones
10 Giles
11 Gray
Happy days - the ' invincibles '
But my all time favourites would be :
1 Martin
2 Kelly
3 Dorigo
4 Woodgate
5 Fairclough
6 Batty
7 Strachan
8 Currie
9 Yeboah
10 Viduka
11 Speed
None of the current squad would get anywhere near these players - unfortunately.
John Charles is widely regarded as Leeds best ever , I was lucky to play against him in a charity game when he had hung up his boots but turned out occasionally for the ex Leeds
veterans - a giant of a man , too bulky to run around , but his first touch was still there and it was impossible to get the ball off him.
I only wish I could have seen him play in his prime .

G007, you've been a Leeds fan for 5 decades and yet you name none of the official greats in your all-time faves list. I'm stunned. No really, I am 
It's funny re the Super Leeds team that one of the Pauls has to make way, isn't it? Reaney not at right back, it just doesn't seem right at all, but neither would Madeley not being in the starting eleven.

ONS - I cheated and had two go's at this.
I said it was impossible to pick just one 11 - we have had so many fantastic players over the years.
As I said - the ' Revie ' team were my all time greats and yes as you so rightly say
Paul Reaney was a part of that team but I had to find a place for Mr versatile
Madeley - didn't I ?
Reaney was as good a right back as anyone at that time but Madeley could play
anywhere - we were lucky to have them both!
The other list - I purposely left out the ' invincibles ' just to include all my other
favourite players - in fact I could easily pick another 11 aswell , thats how difficult it is . So many good players to choose from .
Can't believe I can't find room for Mills , Harte , Radebe , Bowyer , Kewell , Smith ,
Mcallister , Bridges etc -
The team I will never forget is the one that beat Man U 5-1 at Elland Road when Revie was manager and Leeds ' toyed ' with the likes of Charlton , Law and Best
stringing passes together for fun and us fans giving it the ' ole ' . Happy days.

Who ? the man deserves no recognition as a Leeds player he epitomises the word mercenary. Hate the man more than any other player that has worn the white shirt, though in his case a white shirt sums him up, coward.

Keane in our all time greats ?
