With U-21 caps against Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Wales, and
retained as a backup player through some of the more successful years
in Leeds' history, David McNiven can't have been all that bad a
player, despite what a few folks with selective and rather biased
memories may think. He came through the youth and reserve sides,
appearing for the Scottish Schoolboy side and was thought of as a real
prospect for the future as he hammered in the goals at the lower
level, including three hat-tricks in the 1975-76 Central League season
alone. When he did play for Leeds, his scoring record wasn't that bad,
but still he failed to secure a regular berth in the first team at
Elland Road. He later showed he knew where the net was during a good
spell with Bradford. Like many borderline successful players in the
early 1980s, he spent some time playing in the NASL before returning
for half a season with Halifax and then non-league football at
Morecambe.
Mark Serella says: what can you say. I thought he was the Alan Smith
of his generation and super sub was his tag. He was better than Ole
Gunnar any day.
peter werby says: i know Dave, I used to work with him at Evans
Halshaw in Preston until i left in 2000. he's a good guy. his two sons
were both with oldham athletic at the time
Roy Schofield says: I spent thousands on getting his autograph - I
bought his house back in the late seventies. (Carl Harris lived
opposite too!) If only I could afford to buy a house from a player
with a top club these days....
Nicole MCNiven says: I would love to know if i am related to him
