Leeds United: John Lukic's Elland Road testimonial remembered against Arsenal | OneFootball

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Elland Road turned out in August 1996 to salute goalkeeper John Lukic at his testimonial.

More than 16,000 attended as Leeds United faced Arsenal, with Lukic featuring before the break for the Gunners, then switching to the Whites after half-time.

He made 146 Leeds appearances from 1978 to 1983, then added 209 more between 1990 and 1996.

He spent his entire professional career with Leeds and Arsenal, amassing 596 league appearances across two spells with each.

His honours at Elland Road included the 1992 First Division title and the following summer’s Charity Shield. He rejoined in May 1990 as the club’s most expensive signing, brought in to replace the ageing Mervyn Day. The testimonial served as a fond farewell.
