Brian Flynn and John Sheridan were in the mix at one point in my thinking.Sheepy wrote:I'd forgot about Eddie and Frank Gray
Surely Gary Speed was a better player to fill the number 11 position than post-1980 Eddie Gray?Sheepy wrote:I'd forgot about Eddie and Frank Gray

Eddie was past his best and he actually probably made as many appearances at left back post 80. Knewell at the time was a far superior player to speed in my view. He had the potential to be a world class performer. Speed was a little bit more like a james Milner - solid 7/8 out of ten each week. Actually between 80 & 82 probably our best player was another winger arthur graham.Independent Republic wrote:Malcolm Stark wrote:Surely Gary Speed was a better player to fill the number 11 position than post-1980 Eddie Gray?Sheepy wrote:I'd forgot about Eddie and Frank Gray
I know this will disgust some, BUT Harry Kewell for me was the best winger in the PL when he was with us - even better than Giggs at the time. I only started supportin Leeds in 1978 but I would have thought that Eddie Gray was a bit past it in the 80s - which if my memory serves me right were very bleak years for us.
Him & sheriden were good however they are up against Batty & Mcallister. I probably think dacort was ahead of snod & shez, although currie might have been the best post revie, central midfielder we had?Sheepy wrote:I'm surprised Ian Snodin has not had many more mentions - he was awesome for us and at the time became our record transfer fee received.
