I was privileged to see Albert Johanneson play on many occasions. He would be in the top 50 let alone the top 100. Comparing the likes of Beckford, Snodgrass, Gradel et al to Albert is like comparing Stoke City to Barcelona.
And check his strike rate from the wing. Almost 1 in 3. Snoddy by comparison was 1 in 5. Eddie 1 in 9 ( I don't have a maths 'O' level mindst :D )

First lufc player to excite me Albert :thumbup:

TC would be in my top 5. Defined the overlapping fullback role and did it in white boots anall. The most potent white boots in world football. An icon our Terry.
I hope TC and it being Terry is Cooper and not Connor :eh:

When I was young my sister was obsessed with Terry Cooper, she loved him big style. It wasn't until I grew up that I realised he wasn't much of a looker and for the life in me, I can't understand why she fancied him, but ..... What a great player he was.
We are Leeds, we have to believe our new players are good enough, encourage and support them and help them grow in to a team to be reckoned with. MoT

Top three without any shadow of a doubt

Charles
Bremner
Giles

As for the likes of Beckford, Snoddy, Gradel, etc challenging any of the Revie squad is ludicrous & laughable

Only Yeboah & Strachan have come close !

Strachan would have fitted in well with the great Revie side, not many more would have IMO.
