44) Joe Jordan (1970-78) 220 apps, 48 goals

Subtle as a Glaswegian kiss, he arrived at Leeds in 1970 for a bargain £15,000, underscoring Don Revie's eye for spotting potential, and lost his front teeth in a reserve match. Thus was born the most frightening smile this side of Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Jordan also had to contend with the Clarke-Jones axis before finally becoming a regular. His best tally in a season was only 12, but he was more important than that and was sorely missed when he went to the Theatre of Lost Souls across the Pennines.

43) Jonathan Woodgate (1997-2003) 142 apps, 4 goals

Woodgate would have been one of the best defenders in Leeds's history had it not been for his involvement in the events that led to the savage beating of Sarfraz Najeib at the start of 2000. Until then, Woodgate had bristled with promise and nascent class, but he faded to a cadaverous relic as the court case dragged on. It is often forgotten that it was Woodgate, not the more easily dislikeable Bowyer, who was convicted of affray. To his credit he rebuilt his career and when he was sold against Terry Venables's will, it was symptomatic of the crash. I went to Spain to watch his debut for Real Madrid. He scored an own goal and was sent off, but gave post-match interviews in Spanish and English. He had grown up.

42) Arthur Graham (1977-83) 260 apps, 47 goals

The Scot's inclusion is also a vote for Carl Harris because, although next to useless in the 1980s, Leeds did at least have two high-class wingers. I had a soft spot for both of them and Harris did turn down Manchester United for Charlton Athletic, but Graham gets the nod for the top 50. His speed was more iffy wiring than electric, but he was clever and when he scored his hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the world seemed to make a bit more sense. He still lives near Leeds, coaches at the academy and, when he visits schools, says he encourages the kids to sing Marching On Together. What a man.

41) Chris Whyte (1990-93) 146 apps, 6 goals

Clubs are only as good as their cult heroes and Chris Whyte was up there with the eccentric best. He was a mainstay of the 1992 championship side with the sort of elasticated legs that made Carlton Palmer look like a stunted hobbit. You watched him and felt he was overreaching in every way, but for that year he was fantastic.

40) Gordon McQueen (1972-78) 171 apps, 19 goals

For the hair alone. Could not have epitomised the Seventies more succinctly had he turned up for training on a Raleigh Chopper.

39) Tony Yeboah (1995-97) 66 apps, 32 goals

It was a brief affair but in the mid-1990s Tony Yeboah was the most incongruous thing Elland Road had seen since Queen pitched up a decade earlier and started singing about Fat Bottom Girls; this was long before Paul Robinson was in goal. The strikes against Wimbledon and Liverpool rank among the best scored in Leeds colours. Gorgeous George then continued a time-honoured Leeds tradition in deciding the best thing to do with a precocious goalscorer was to sell him.
