Viduka's backheel, Cantona's goal, a Beckford special and 97 reasons why I love Leeds United | OneFootball

Few clubs match Leeds United for drama, and Elland Road has staged eras and epics that endure. This is a celebration of that rich tapestry.

According to Leeds Live, this revisits a 2019 list compiled by then editor Joe Mewis, gathering personal memories and treasured tales from the record.

Highlights range from Eddie Gray's double against Burnley in 1970 to Tony Yeboah's thunderous efforts, Liverpool in August 1995 then Wimbledon a month later. Jermaine Beckford ended 28 years of Old Trafford hurt in 2010 while Leeds were a third-tier side.

There were the 79ft floodlights that once loomed over Elland Road before 1993, the smiley badge and the Leeds salute. Mark Viduka's backheel to Smith against Lazio and Eric Cantona's strike versus Chelsea in April 1992 remain luminous.

Lucas Radebe was described as a hero by Nelson Mandela, while Albert Johanneson broke ground as the first black player to appear in an FA Cup Final in 1965. Revie's side saw off Johan Cruyff's Barcelona in the 1975 European Cup semi-final, and there was a 4-0 win over Sheffield United in 1990.

David O'Leary's young team dismantled Deportivo La Coruna 3-0 in 2001, while Paul Robinson headed a League Cup winner against Swindon in 2003/04. The minus-15 opened with a 2-0 Hartlepool win in 2007, and Marcelo Bielsa's arrival brought shock and awe against Stoke then a forensic spygate lecture.
