Had to do some creative juggling here - top heavy with full backs. Gary Kelly started as a winger, became a full back, so I put him in midfield :crazy:
Toss up between Jim Begin and Terry Phelan, but Jim played in a European Cup Final, so he gets it, even though injury effectively ruined his career by the age of 23.

Graham Stack
Jim Beglin
David O'Leary
Con Martin
Denis Irwin
Gary Kelly
Johnny Giles
John Sheridan
Stephen McPhail
Liam Miller
Robbie Keane

Special mentions to Terry Phelan & Ian Harte
Looks like we're still finishing last :D Not a bad side kk

Think one of our Scandinavian members should enter a combined X1 from their regions

Denmark would be outnumbered even in a five-a-side game… So I’ll break all rules and present a “Scandinavian National Team”:

Kasper Schmeichel
Gunnar Halle
Pontus Jansson
Frank Strandli
Alf-Inge Haaland
Eirik Bakke
Casper Sloth
Gylfi Einarsson
Tomas Brolin
Tore Andre Flo
Mikael Forssell
(A couple of players are a bit out of their usual positions, but we call it “total-football”… :D

I did think about him. But:

1) I like Yorath-Flynn in centre midfield
2) He's not really Welsh even though I know he had a few games for Wales.

I'll add a few more for you

Gboly Ariyibi played 2 games for Leeds in the 2013/2014 season and for the USA youth side (Winger)
Charlie Horton never played for Leeds but was on the books in 2015, he also was a USA youth player (Goalkeeper)
George Moorhouse played 2 reserve games back in 1921 for Leeds and was in the USA team that made the semis in the 1930 World Cup (defender)
Tab Ramos played 2 reserves games for Leeds in the 1989/1990 season and was a mainstay in the US team between 1988 to 2000 (midfielder)

you could add Paul Rachubka who was born in the US (worst keeper Leeds ever had) and if you wanted to add a Canadian into the team then Kevin Sharp (defender) was born in Canada even though he did play youth team football for England.
Owners come and go but Leeds United will be there forever, for the fans - keep Marching on Together.
