Born Manchester 1960. Andy won 8 schoolboy caps under skipper Brendan Ormsby before signing for Man United in 1977 and two years later bagged a hat-trick against us!

Born 1906, the youngest of ten football play brothers. Joined LUFC in 1927 and initially understudied Tom Jennings, from who he learned a lot. So much so that he scored 7 goals in a Reserve game and finally took over from his mentor. His record of 169 games and 110 goals is testament to his outstanding goalscoring ability which resulted in him being picked as a reserve for the Football League in 1932. He left for Bradford City in 1934.

Born Rutherglen 1922, Jimmy was signed in 1947 and soon became a permanent fixture at Right Back, playing 443 games and scoring one goal! So consistent and hardly putting a foot wrong in 11 years of service, it remains a mystery why a player so often tipped for full honours never received an International call. From the beginning of the 1952-53 to the end of 1956-57 he missed one game, being everpresent in the 1955-56 promotion campaign and the first season in top flight.

He remained first choice, only missing one game in the 2003-2004 season when he was replaced by Scott Carson for the Manchester United game after getting sent off against Boro, until he signed for Spurs in 2004 before the final game of the season against Chelsea.

The dependable central defender played a major part in the establishment of LUFC back in the big time after joining them in 1990. His skilful use of the ball at the back made him one of the most efficient members of the championship winning team.

Born in Stavanger, Norway in 1972, he was signed from Nottingham Forrest for £1.6 Million. Alfie was a regular between 1997 and 1999. He was a very solid, if not the most creative player in the side.

Unfortunately his season was ruined after a vicious tackle from Roy Keane led to ligament damage. The tackle was said to be revenge for an incident involving the two players when Alfie was a Leeds player.
