Names such as Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton, Norman Hunter, John Charles, and Eddie Gray highlight an illustrious past, while some closer to home such as David Batty, Lucas Radebe, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and so many others, are remembered fondly in Yorkshire.

And then there are the cult heroes, too, of which Pablo Hernández is certainly among them.

Having arrived at Elland Road already on the wrong side of 30, the Spanish midfielder would go on to become a fan favourite during his five seasons at Leeds, helping the club back into the Premier League for the first time since their heartbreaking relegation in 2003/04.

Across his best-ever return on a personal level, Hernández would net 36 goals in 175 appearances, while also bringing home three consecutive club Player of the Year honours from 2017-2020.

He may not be the most honourable name in club history, but El Mago will be remembered as one of their own.
