19-05-1980

An England Youth International, he joined Leeds from school as a Trainee in 1996 after he had started his career with Chester-le-Street Schoolboys, then representing Durham County Under-Fifteens in 1994-95, and their Under-Sixteens in 1995-96. He signed professional forms on 1st August 1998. The 6ft 1ins striker started one and came on as a substitute once for the Reserves in 1995-96 and scored five times in six starts and five games from the bench for the Youth team. The following season saw him start two games for the Reserves and started for the Youth team that won the Northern Intermediate League and F.A. Youth Cup, as he scored fifteen goals in twenty starts and two games from the bench in the League and five goals in nine starts in the Cup. While he made substitute appearances in the League Cup and European Cup, he never played a League game for Leeds. He was a strong young forward who did well in the Leeds youth team but never really made the breakthrough to the first team. He was not helped by a serious cruciate ligament injury and his involvement, as an acquitted defendant, in the Bowyer/Woodgate assault trial. He then moved to Sogndal of Norway on loan for three months from 6th May 2000, but didn't score in two games. Hackworth moved to Notts County on 12th July 2001 for £120,000 but did not make much of an impact there either and only started twenty-three games in three years, but also made forty-one from the substitutes bench. However, he only scored two goals in that time. He moved to Scarborough on loan from 11th March to 25th April 2004, and scored three times in eleven starts for the Conference side. He signed for Scarborough permanently on 13th July 2004 and became a first team regular there. Hackworth was released by Scarborough in May 2006 but re-signed again at the start of July 2006. With Scarborough, after signing for them on a permanent basis, he scored eleven goals in sixty-four starts and eleven games from the bench in the League, a total of fourteen League goals in seventy-five starts and fourteen substitute appearances. After Scarborough's dissolution in 2007, Hackworth became a free agent, and he moved on to Whitby Town. He scored a total of six goals in twenty games, but, on 2nd November 2007, Hackworth moved to Blue Square North team Harrogate Town. He went directly into the squad and made make his debut on Saturday 3rd November 2007. He then rejoined Whitby Town and was a first team regular, scoring many vital goals as vice captain. He branched into teaching and coaching, at Pindar School in Scarborough, to compliment his football career. He was appointed club captain for the 2010-11 season. He left at the end of the 2010-11 season and he had scored thirty-seven goals from one hundred and twenty-three starts and four games from the bench. He joined Scarborough Athletic, the club that had grown from the ashes of the former Scarborough FC and he had a dream debut for them. Appointed captain of his new club he scored twice from central midfield as he led them to a 4-2 victory over Parkgate on 6th August 2011. He scored thirty goals from seventy-nine starts and one substitute appearance before moving to Tadcaster Albion in October 2013 and later Pickering Town in November 2013, where he became player- manager in May 2015, but had to step down but in September 2015 he return to both roles.(Leeds United Player Details)

Newcastle

09-12-1961

Started as an Apprentice with his home town team before signing professional forms in December 1979. A steady and reliable player he started fifty-three League games and had four further games as a substitute in the more than six years he had at St James' Park. He was loaned to Burnley in March 1986 where he started seven League games, before Billy Bremner paid £45,000 to bring him to Elland Road in July 1986. At first injuries kept him out of the first team and he was restricted to ten starts and one game from the bench in his first season, but in his second season he was the Player of the year as he scored once and started thirty-eight and was a substitute twice. The 1988-89 season was again plagued by injury but Howard Wilkinson made him one of the pillars of his defence and pronounced him as his player of the year as he played forty League games, as Leeds gained promotion to the First Division. There was little doubt that he would have featured for Leeds for years to come, but his career was cut short by a freak injury a League Cup Semi-Final with Manchester United in January 1991 that eventually ended his career. He scored once in one hundred and six stats and another twelve from the bench for Leeds.(Leeds United Player Details)

Larvik, Vestfold, Norway

11-08-1965

Halle started his Norwegian Premier League career in Lillestrom in 1985 when he joined them from his native Larvik Turn. He quickly became a regular first-team player, and helped Lillestrom win the league titles in 1986 and 1989. He scored twelve goals in one hundred and twenty-eight League games and had already played twenty-seven times at full international for Norway. On 15th February 1991 he was sold to Oldham Athletic for £250,000, where he scored seventeen League goals in one hundred and eighty-five starts and three games from the bench and also scored twice in eight starts in the F.A. Cup, and twice more in sixteen starts in the League Cup and also making four starts in other competitions. He was regarded as one of that club’s finest players during their EPL days and had brought his total of Norwegian caps to fifty-two and while at Boundary Park he had the distinction of scoring a World Cup hat-trick for Norway. Although all his caps for Norway were as a defender or midfield anchor-man, on 9th September 1992 Norway put San Marino to the sword, winning by 10-0 at Ullevaal Stadium, Oslo and Halle found the net in the sixth, fifty-third and seventieth minute, as Norway took a big step towards qualifying for the 1994 World Cup Finals in the U.S.A.and Halle represented them there. He had been watched by Howard Wilkinson who was contemplating buying him but was axed by Leeds. His successor George Graham made Halle his first signing when he joined Leeds United for £400,000 on 13th December 1996. A versatile player who played in just about every position at the back (and also in midfield), Halle spent three successful seasons at Leeds where he scored four goals in eighty-five appearances, all goals coming in the League from sixty-five starts and five from the bench, while eight starts and one substitute appearance in the F.A. Cup, three starts and one game from the bench in the League Cup and two starts in European games all saw no goals, before he moved to Bradford City for £200,000 on 11th June 1999, after a season in which he became evermore a bit player rather than a regular. He had, however, added a further eleven Norwegian caps to his collection, of which four had been as a substitute, and played in the 1998 World Cup in France in a 1-1 draw with Scotland. He remained with Bradford for three seasons and scored once in eighty-three League games, which included five from the bench, he also scored once in six League Cup ties, one of which was as a substitute and made two starts in the F.A. Cup and two in other games, without scoring. He played his sixty-fourth and final game for Norway against Lithuania on a 1-0 win in Oslo on 28th August 1999. He was released by the Bantams on 20th June 2002 and concluded his stay in England. He had previously spent a loan period with Wolverhampton Wanderers, for just over a month from 28th March 2002, in which time he made five League appearances, including one from the bench, as well as two other appearances. He returned to Norway and joined Lillestrøm on a free transfer on same day. He played one and a half seasons for Lillestrøm, scoring once in twenty-three games, before rounding off his career as player-coach for Third Division side Aurskog/Finstadbru in the 2004 season. In the 2005 and 2006 seasons Halle worked as the Lillestrøm assistant coach, but was sacked on 13th November 2006 along with head coach Uwe Rosler. The pair was soon hired to coach Viking. In December 2008, he moved to FC Lyn Oslo as assistant manager and in August 2009 he became Manager. Unfortunately the club, which had a long history of financial problems were declared bankrupt and had to resign from the League on 30th June 2010. He became Assistant Manager to Uve Rosler at Molde on 30th August 2010, he lost his position in early November 2010 when Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer took over as Manager. In February 2012, Halle was named as the new assistant coach of the Norway women's national football team under Eli Landsem. In 2013 he moved to Strømmen IF. He also played for Norway at Youth level and twenty-three times at Under-Twenty-one level.(Leeds United Player Details)

He started his football career in his native country with Maritzburg United before going to England to seek to further his career with Chelsea under Ruud Gullit in July 1998, but fell out of favour when Gianluca Vialli came in. He was a junior learning his trade and joined Leeds United in July 1999. He was one of two goalkeepers with the Leeds Under-Seventeens and then Under-Nineteens, Mervyn Travers being the other, but with Nigel Martyn and Paul Robinson already capped by England at their relevant levels and the addition of Australian Under-Twenty International, Danny Milosevic, in mid-season, and England Youth keeper Shaun Allway, near the end, saw Harpur on the outer. So despite having made six starts for the Reserves in 1999-2000, and frequently having sat unused on the bench, it came as no surprise when he was released at the end of the 2000-01 season. He had a trial with Reading from 21st to 28th November 2001 but was signed by Millwall on 29th November 2001. He played in the Under-Nineteen and Reserve team and signed professional forms in January 2002, but once more was found surplus to requirements and returned to South Africa at the end of the 2002-03 season. He had been loaned out to Basingstoke Town and Molesey during his time at the Den to gain experience. In South Africa he hoped to play for the South African Olympic squad, and played with Durban based Manning Rangers for a couple of seasons and played for them in the South African Cup Final in June 2004 when 85,000 fans saw Manning Rangers lose 3-1 to Moroko Swallows in Bloemfontein. He then had a season, 2005-06, at Maritzburg Classic/United in which they were relegated. He returned to Britain and had a trial with Scottish Club Dundee. He played one game in the Scottish Championship on 12th August 2006 in a 0-1 loss at Hamilton Academical FC. He was then signed by Kilmarnock in late August 2006, and was set to make his debut against Airdrie in the Scottish Cup but the tie was postponed because of a frozen pitch. He did play one match, on 27th February 2008, as Kilmarnock were defeated at Gretna Green by 4-2 in the Scottish Premier League. He also was on the bench unused on forty-three occasions and stayed at Rugby Park until the end of the 2008-09 season. He then moved back to South Africa, joining Ajax of Capetown on 2nd March 2009 but almost immediately, in fact seven minutes into his first game, he dislocated his shoulder which kept him out of contention for a time. He started one game for them, on 8th April 2009, in they won at Santos FC Cape Town by 2-1in the ABSA Premiership, but he was replaced by Andre Petim in the thirty-eighth minute with Ajax trailing by 1-0 after Santos had scored in the fifth minute. He stayed with Ajax Cape Town until 20-11-2009 when he joined Mpumalanga Black Aces. He had two games on the bench unused in the final two games of the 2009-10 season. He retired from football in 2012 and is now the manager of La Manga Club in Spain.

Son of former Manchester City Inside-Forward Johnny Hart he signed professional forms for Stockport County in September 1970 and made it to their first team and had scored five goals in eighty-seven starts before he was signed by Blackpool in June 1973. He spent almost five years there, scoring seventeen goals in one hundred and forty-three starts before Leeds United, who were looking for a replacement for Gordon McQueen bought him in March 1978 for £300,000. He was a first team player and always first choice for the centre half berth but did play as he was tested for fitness after recovering from those problems rather than being pitched straight into top flight football. He scored sixteen goals in one hundred and ninety-one starts at Elland Road before leaving to join Nottingham Forest in May 1983, who paid £40,000 for his services. He scored once in seventy League starts for Forest before joining Sheffield Wednesday in August 1985. He scored twice in fifty-two starts while at Hillsborough and moved to Birmingham City in December 1986. He broke his leg in his first game and never played for them again, being transferred to Notts County in June 1987 where he started twenty-three games before retiring. He had a long career as a coach and manager, including several years at Leeds in charge of the Academy, producing many fine players that were later utilised by David O'Leary and his successors with many becoming household names and internationals.

Drogheda, Republic of Ireland

31-08-1977

Harte started with St Kevin’s Boys in Drogheda in 1993, and was on the verge of leaving Leeds two months into his two year apprenticeship, but he signed professional forms on 11th December 1995. He had played a variety of positions for the juniors and reserves and later in the season the eighteen-year-old Harte, came on for his Leeds debut in the Coca Cola Cup against Reading on 10th January 1996 it completed an amazing family double, as his uncle Gary Kelly, himself only twenty-one, was already on the pitch. He was called up for the Republic's Under-Twenty-One team and played twice in the 1995-96 season, and at the end of the campaign he was included, along with his uncle, in the full Republic of Ireland international squad for their summer tour. He played for Leeds for nine seasons and was an integral part of their team as they took Europe and the Premiership by storm. Occasionally his passing let him down, and at one point when Leeds bought Dominic Matteo it looked as though Harte might become second choice. Thanks to injury, Matteo ended up playing at centre half and Harte kept his place on the left. Harte was also a proficient left-footed free kick and penalty taker, and had scored from several set pieces for Leeds and the Republic of Ireland. He could also be pedestrian slow and many opposing teams exploited this weakness by playing fast tricky winners and channeling their attack down their right flank. This was partly outweighed by Harte’s ability from a dead ball situation and he was so strong and deadly accurate from free-kicks that he scored many vital goals for Leeds at home and in Europe. Spanish side Levante signed him from Leeds in 2004, following the financial crisis at Elland Road. He had scored twenty-eight Goals in two hundred and thirteenLeague appearances of which fourteen were as a substitute. When he left Elland Road he had scored eleven goals in gaining fifty-six caps for the Republic of Ireland and represented them in the 2002 World Cup Finals in Korea and Japan, playing every game until they were finally eliminated by Spain on penalties, after extra time in Suwon on 16th June 2002 in the knock out rounds. Harte played in La Liga until he was released by Levante at the end of the 2006-07 season. He scored once in twenty-three starts and one substitute appearance for Levante in La Liga. On 29th August 2007 after a trial period, it was announced that he had joined former national team mate, Roy Keane, at Sunderland on a one year contract. He made three starts and had five games off the bench in the League but was released at the end of his contract. He spent time on trial at Wolverhampton Wanderers during Summer 2008 but rejected their eventual offer of a month-to-month contract. In September 2008 he joined Sheffield United to train at the club's Shirecliffe training ground complex. He then played for the Blades in a 3-0 win in a reserve match against Newcastle United but was not signed by them. On 22nd October 2008, it was announced that Harte was on a one-week trial with Norwegian Premier League club Valerenge, but nothing eventuated. He also spent time on trial at Charlton Athletic. Harte signed for Championship club Blackpool, on 11th December 2008, after spending a few weeks on trial with them. He signed on a month-to-month contract basis. He made four starts in the League and one in the F.A. Cup before he had his contract terminated by mutual consent on 2nd February 2009. He then agreed a contract with Scottish Premier League club St. Mirren until the end of the 2008-09 season, but then Harte unexpectedly pulled out of the move the following day. He was hoping to have been signed by Celtic but it did not eventuate, as Levante suddenly decided they wanted 2.5 Million Euros, which Gordon Strachan was not prepared to pay. On 26th March 2009, Harte signed a contract to the end of the season with Carlisle United. He won man of the match for his impressive performance but did not play for a month after breaking two fingers his debut game. He returned to action on 25th April 2009, scoring a free kick in the 1-1 draw against Cheltenham Town. He also played in the last match of the season. Harte signed a two-year contract with Carlisle United on 18th May 2009 keeping him at the club until the summer of 2011. He had scored once in three starts in the League by the end of the 2008-09 campaign. He continued as a regular in the 2009-10 season and by the end of that season he had proved his worth with several fine goals and had brought his goal tally to seventeen in the League from forty-eight starts. He was selected in the League One PFA team for the 2009-10 season at Left-Back and also won the club's "player of the year" award. Reading took advantage of a clause in his contract to sign him for £70,000 on 31st August 2010. He had scored nineteen League goals in fifty-two starts. Harte signed a two year contract and he soon set about repaying the faith shown in him by Reading Manager Brian McDermott, scoring many fine goals and helping Reading to the play-offs, where they were finally pipped at the post by Swansea City in the Wembley play-off Final. Harte was again recognised by his fellow professionals and was in the PFA 20010-11 Championship team of the year. He stayed with Reading until 28th June 2013 when he moved to Bournemouth on a free transfer. He had scored fifteen goals in eighty-eight League appearances, of which three had been as a substitute. He had also started three Championship play-off games. He stayed with Bournemouth until 15th May 2015 when he retired after scoring once in twenty-eight League games, of which two were as a substitute. Harte added a further eight caps to his collection to bring it to a total of sixty-four and he also found the net twice, against Israel and the Faroe Islands to bring his goal tally to eleven goals.

He served a long apprenticeship while Gary Sprake hardly missed a game for seven seasons. However, once he had his chance, he was the first choice keeper, barring injuries. He went on to be capped sixteen times for Scotland and initially he left for Vancouver Whitecaps in March 1979 before returning in December 1980 and staying until February 1985, when he joined Bradford City. At Leeds he started four hundred and forty-four and was substitute in three more in all competitions. At Valley Parade he made just six starts in the League.(Leeds United Player Details)

27-03-1972

Hasselbaink began his football career in the Netherlands, first with SC Telstar, for whom he played four games in the early 1990-91 season, before he moved to AZ Alkmaar. He stayed at Alkmaar for three seasons, scoring five goals in forty-sx games, of which many were from the bench, before being released by the club and ended up playing Non-League football with Neerlandia on an amateur basis. He signed for Portuguese side Campomaiorense in August 1995, scoring twelve times in thirty-one appearances, but, after only one season, Hasselbaink was signed by Boavista where he first came to prominence. He scored twenty goals in nineteen starts, and ten appearances from the bench, in the League for the club as well as helping them win the Portuguese Cup and the Portuguese Super Cup in 1997. His scoring exploits brought him to the attention of George Graham and Leeds United, who signed him for £2,000,000 on 12th June 1997. He was an instant hit with the Leeds fans with his signature “Jimmy” on his shirt as he made a scoring debut against Arsenal at Elland Road on the opening day of the 1997-98 season. The shirt had to go and he settled for plain “Hasselbaink”, but the change of shirt did not abate his thirst for goals and, after taking a while to acclimatise to English Football, he started scoring spectacular goals, followed by his trademark cart-wheel, with gay abandon. He had a minor falling out with strict disciplinarian George Graham and missed several games in that time, as well as an enforced layoff of three games, after being sent off against Bristol City in the League Cup. He finished his first season with twenty-two goals to his name in all competitions. He was picked for the Dutch squad for the 1998 World Cup bit did not play a big part but gained in experience. He made his debut on 27th May 1998 in a 0-0 draw against Cameroon in Arnhem, and went on to gain five International Caps while at Elland Road. The following season, with the departure of George Graham, Leeds’ new boss, David O'Leary, started to introduce several exciting young players into his team and Hasselbaink responded with his best season yet, scoring twenty goals in forty-seven appearances in all games, and his eighteen League goals made him the joint top scorer in the EPL, as he became a more consistent and influential player. It came as a great surprise to everyone when he packed his bags and joined Athletico Madrid for £12 million. While at Elland Road he scored thirty-four goal in sixty six starts and three games from the bench in League games, five goals in nine starts in the F.A. Cup, two goals in five starts in the League Cup and one goal in four starts in European games. He carried on his scoring but the team was not doing well and, despite Jimmy scoring twenty-four goals in thirty-four League appearances, they were relegated. He also scored twice in two games in the Cup and six times in five appearances in the UEFA Cup, so that he had netted thirty-two times in forty-one games.His reputation impressed the Abramovich-backed Chelsea, who were able to meet his wage demands of nearly £60,000 a week over the term of his contract, and pay a fee of £15 million and so he was soon at Stamford Bridge. He continued to deliver with some great goals and strong play on and off the ball. Sometimes temperamental, but always a player who can create his own goals and make things happen around him, Hasselbaink scored twenty-three goals in thirty-five League appearances in the 2000-01 season to make him the EPL's top scorer. He formed a prolific partnership with Icelandic striker Eider Gudjohnsen in his second year with Chelsea, scoring twenty-nine goals in all competitions and helping Gudjohnsen to twenty-three in a season which also saw Chelsea reach the FA Cup Final. Hasselbaink was injured in the game prior to the final and, clearly unfit, he was substituted early on as Chelsea lost 2-0. In his last two seasons with Chelsea the goals dried up. He scored only eleven goals in twenty-seven games in 2002-03, though in the next season he scored seventeen goals in all competitions which, despite the arrival of new strikers Adrian Mutu and Hernan Crespo, made him top scorer at the club for the third time in four years. He ended his Chelsea career with eighty-eight goals in one hundred and fifty-six starts and twenty-one substitute appearances in all games, seventy coming in just one hundred and nineteen League starts and seventeen substitute appearances. Out of Contract with Chelsea at the end of the 2003-04 season, Hasselbaink was a free agent and when Middlesbrough offered him £40,000 per week he moved to the Riverside Stadium. In his first season he scored thirteen goals in thirty-six League games. He was the captain of the Boro side that scored a 4-1 win over Manchester United and scored the second goal. In his final season with the club, he helped them reach the UEFA Cup Final, where they lost 4-0 to Sevilla FC. With a change of Manager at Middlesbrough, Hasselbaink found himself surplus to requirements and was given a free transfer. Negotiations with Celtic failed due to his wage demands, but he left Middlesbrough and he signed for Charlton Athletic on 11th July 2006. He had scored thirty-four goals in seventy-five starts and fourteen substitute games, being twenty-three goals from forty-eight starts and ten substitute appearances in the League, three in seven starts and one game from the bench in the F.A. Cup, one goal in three starts in the League Cup and seven goals in seventeen starts and three games from the bench in European games. He scored his first goal for Charlton against his old team Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 9th September 2006, but he didn't celebrate out of respect for the fans. Chelsea's fans in turn gave him a round of applause, even though his goal had brought Charlton level. After a long goal drought, Hasselbaink scored against yet another of his former clubs, Middlesbrough on 13th January 2007, a game which Middlesbrough went on to win. Hasselbaink was released by Charlton at the end of the season on 14th May 2007. He had scored just four goals in fourteen starts and fifteen substitute appearances at the Valley and his contribution of just two goals in eleven starts and fourteen games from the bench had seen his team relegated. After negotiations with Leicester City had failed, he signed for Cardiff City on 16th August 2007, where, while playing regularly, the goals dwindled to a mere trickle. He was signed by former Leeds Chairman, Peter “money-no-object” Ridsdale, on a one year contract, and teamed up with another expensive ex-Leeds player Robbie Fowler. He scored seven goals from thirty-three League starts and three games from the bench and another two goals from seven starts and one game as a substitute in the Cup competitions. He retired from professional football after failing to secure a new contract having been released by Cardiff at the end of the 2007-08 season. While at Cardiff he did help them reach the Final of the F.A. Cup, but they were defeated 1-0 by Portsmouth and so his only Cup winners' medal was that gained while with Boavista. At International level with Holland, Hasselbaink had made his debut for the Dutch national side at a late age. In 2004 Hasselbaink decided to no longer make himself available for the Dutch national team. He made a total of twenty-three appearances for Holland, eleven starts and twelve substitutions, and scored nine times. In October 2009, Hasselbaink trained with Conference South side Woking to help keep himself fit and do some coaching, then he worked with the Chelsea Under-Sixteens and he studied for his UEFA coaching licences. In July 2011 he joined the coaching staff at Nottingham Forest and continued to work towards the UEFA licences. He rejoined Steve McLaren, who had been his Manager at Middlesbrough, and was then appointed first team coach. He remained as first team coach after Steve Cotterill replaced Steve McLaren, who resigned in early October 2011He remained at Forest until January 2013. In May 2013 he was appointed manager of Belgian Second Division side Royal Antwerp, but only stayed for one season. In November 2014, he joined League Two side Burton Albion. He immediately led them to their first ever promotion to League One as champions. This alerted higher level clubs to his potential and in December 2015 he was appointed manager of Queens Park Rangers in the Championship. However, he could not maintain that potential and was sacked eleven months later.(Leeds United Player Details)

But Leeds persisted and he signed for them on 8th August 1952. He started in the Reserves but injuries to others saw him revert to his former position of centre forward to solve the emergency. It was in that position he made his first team debut in September 1952, scoring twice on debut at Birmingham City. Like most of the South Africans of that era he did not stay long and return to his homeland to play for Germiston Callies at the end of the 1952-53 season.(Leeds United Player Details)

New Zealand International Danny Hay started with Green Bay-Titirangi United, Waitakere United and Central United in New Zealand before going to Perth Glory in Australia in August 1997. There he played in the then NSL and he scored twice in forty-eight appearances, one of which was as a substitute. He had already made his debut for his country on 15th January 1996 in the Oceania preliminary games to qualify for the Olympics. He scored a very important goal for his country against Fiji on 2nd October 1998 in a 1-0 win in the 1998 Oceania Nations Cup Semi-Final, and was a seasoned International before Leeds picked up the towering defender for £200,000 in August 1999. Leeds were already well served in the central defensive area with Lucas Radebe, Jonathan Woodgate, Michael Duberry, the versatile Danny Mills and later Rio Ferdinand. However, Leeds were ravaged by injuries and in the European Cup-tie at the Nou Camp, Leeds skipper Lucas Radebe was carried off with concussion almost on the final whistle and Hay ran out in front of almost 100,000 for his debut. Hay had his own trouble with injuries and was no stranger to the treatment room and had to have a couple of operations to try and remedy them. He did make the Leeds run-on team on a few occasions, when one of their injury crisises demanded. All his appearances featured in less than two months subsequent to his debut. His League debut came as a substitute, as forty-fifth minute replacement for the injured Lucas Radebe, at Elland Road on 30th September 2000. This was followed by his run-on League debut at Old Trafford on 21st October 2000 and his second came at Valley Parade eight days later, quickly followed two days later with a Third Round League Cup at Tranmere Rovers. Finally, in what turned out to be his last game for Leeds on 4th November 2000, he came on as a sixteenth minute substitute for Jonathan Woodgate, with Leeds already trailing 0-2, to play his part in the iconic clash with Liverpool which saw Mark Viduka score all four Leeds goals in an epic 4-3 victory . He was finally released by Leeds at the end of his contract in May 2002 and signed for Walsall in July of that year, with Sheffield Wednesday also showing interest. He became a regular at Walsall making forty starts and five games off the bench in League matches until the club were relegated at the end of the 2002-03 season. He returned to his native land in December 2003 to play for the New Zealand Knights in the inaugural season of the A-League and he was appointed captain. However, injuries decreed that he would only play sixteen games and score one goal in the three years he stayed, but after a fall–out with the club's management he left in December 2006 and played out the rest of the season with Perth Glory, where he played three times. In January 2007 he returned to New Zealand and joined RFC Wallonia Walhain, where he stayed until March 2007, when he joined Waitakere United. There he retired from international football to pursue a teaching career in Auckland and scored five goals in thirty-six games. He stayed with them until he retired from football in July 2009 after playing his final game for them on 28th April 2009. He made thirty-four appearances and scored two goals for the All Whites, the New Zealand National team, which he had previously captained often and was given the captaincy on a permanent basis in 2006, after he came out of international retirement, which had been self-imposed in 2004. In 2006 Hay was awarded the captaincy of the All Whites. In 2007 he retired from international football in order to pursue a teaching career at Sacred Heart College in Auckland which also involves him training the First XI and youth development teams.(Leeds United Player Details)

Originally on the books of Liverpool he had a short trial with Leeds in September and October 1997, playing twice for the Reserves in Central Defence and on both occasions played the full ninety minutes. But he was not signed on and he moved to Wigan Athletic on 19th January 1998, but, as at Leeds, he did not feature with the first team. He moved to Huddersfield Town on 13th March 1998 and started seven League games and came off the bench in another four, as well as starting one game in the F.A. Cup in the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons. He left for Kilmarnock on 30th May 1999, making his debut on 25th September 1999 in a 0-2 home defeat by Dundee in the Scottish League Cup. He scored his only goal for Killies in a 2-1 away win over Livingston on 20th September 2003 in his final season, but he only started thirty-eight and came off the bench six times in the League and there were two starts in the Scottish League Cup in his five seasons with the club and never became a regular. He joined Blackpool on 16th February 2004 and started four abd was a substitute in two League games before joining Chester City on 2nd July 2004 and stayed for four seasons before joining Macclesfield Town on 23rd June 2008. He scored once in seventy League starts and and nine from the bench. He also started six games in the F.A. Cup and two in the League Cup and scored once in five starts in the Football League Trophy. He had been on loan from Chester to Macclesfield from 9th November 2007 to 27th April 2008 startinf twenty-six League games in that time, so it was no surprise when he decided to be with Macclesfield full-time. He had forged an excellent partnership with Ryan Cresswell and given the back-line a more solid look. He had also been made captain in the latter stages of that season and he became the captain for the new season. He stayed for another two seasons adding sixty League appearances of which just four were from the bench, and made three starts in the F.A. Cup and two in the League Cup before leaving for Accrington Stanley on 3rd August 2010.

He missed the start of the 2009-10 season with a knee ligament injury picked up in the pre-season but returned in December 2009 and was ever-present thereafter. He gave good service at Accrington scoring three goals in fifty-seven starts and one game from the bench in the League making three starts in the F.A. Cup, scoring once in two starts and one game from the bench in the League Cup and starting two and being a substitute in one in the Football League Trophy.

Stainz, Austria

Austrian International Hiden started his football career with six years at his hometown team of Stainz with St Stefan of Stainz. He then played for BNZ Sturm under coach August Starek. Starek made Hiden into a star player for the Sturm Graz Under-Eighteen team and he quickly progressed to first team after signing professional in August 1993. He started to accumulate Austrian Under-Twenty-One honours and from 1992 to 1996 he gained twelve Under-Twenty-One and two Under-Eighteen caps. After scoring five goals in fifty-three appearances in a two year stay at Sturm Graz, he joined Austria Salzburg, in August 1995, where his stocks rose even higher with each cap. He played there for a year, picking up an Austrian Championship in 1994-95 and two Austrian Super Cup in 1994 and 1995, while making fifty-nine appearances and scoring twice, before returning to Sturm Graz in August 1996. He stayed for a year scoring three times in twenty-eight games, before moving to Rapid Vienna in August 1997, making twenty appearances there before leaving for George Graham’s Leeds United at a fee of £1.3 million on 25th February 1998. He was initially thought to be either a solution to Leeds' left-back problem, or a replacement or back-up for Molenaar or Wetherall in the centre of the defence. However, he went straight into the team first as deputy for Gary Kelly and later moved to central defence, and remained an ever-present to the end of the season. When he arrived at Elland Road, he still had not been capped by his country, but had been called up for the Austrian squad in Bordeaux during the European winter break. It was then that George Graham had made his move. He had only seen Hiden on video to that point, but had been impressed by his ability to fill a variety of defensive positions, something that was to hold him in good stead after he joined the Whites. On 19th August 1988, he had gained his fourth cap as Austria drew 2-2, at home to France. Hiden returned to Leeds and looked increasingly assured as, complete with orange hair, he was a permanent fixture in the now miserly Leeds defence that conceded only one goal in the first seven games, including a 1-0 home win in the UEFA Cup over Maritimo. Austria now focused their attentions on qualifying for the 2000 European Cup and Hiden was capped three times in quick succession in those qualifying games. On 5th September 1998 Hiden came on as a late substitute in a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Isreal. It was enough to earn him a start in the 3-0 win in the away tie with Cyprus on 10th October and four days later he again started in a 4-1 away win against San Marino, in which Hiden scored his first, and only, International goal, after sixty-nine minutes.Things were going well for Hiden, and he was now starting to establish himself in the Austrian team and was a regular at Leeds. However, it all went wrong on one autumn Sunday, when Leeds, now managed by David O'Leary, visited Old Trafford on 29th November 1998. They were in fifth place and looking to go even better, but they were thwarted by a Nicky Butt goal that gave the game to Manchester United, 3-2, with thirteen minutes to go. It was even worse for Hiden, who got his studs caught in the recently relaid Old Trafford turf and sustained damage to his knee ligaments, which ruled him out for the rest of the season and it proved to be the final EPL game that he played for Leeds. When he returned the following season he featured only once as a substitute and seven times he sat on the bench unused and unable to win back his place as Gary Kelly and Danny Mills were first in line at right back, Ian Harte had a stranglehold on the left back berth and Lucas Radebe and Jonathan Woodgate, similarly held sway in central defence with Michael Duberry and Alf-Inge Haaland waiting in line. It came as little surprise when Hiden left on 25th May 2000, at the end of his three year contract, after starting twenty-five and being a substitute once in the League and starting once in the F.A. Cup and also the League Cup and four times in European competitions. He did not find the net while at Leeds. He was sold to FK Austria Vienna, for £500,000 and with his last season with United plagued by a recurrence of his knee problems he was hoping that he could get himself back to full fitness and have a decent chance of first-team football. This he did, and he was soon back as a regular in the national side. The National team had suffered some humiliating defeats in his absence, losing 5-0 to Isreal and 7-0 to Spain and had failed to qualify for the European Championships in 2000. The Austrian team was rebuilt by Otto Baric and he was pleased to see the defensive steel of Hiden return and his first game back was marked by a 5-1 home victory over Iran on 1st September 2000. He remained at Austria Vienna for three seasons chalking up eighty-two appearances and scoring twice and picked up an Austrian Championship and an Austrian Super Cup winners medal. He joined Rapid Vienna in 2003, for the start of the 2003-04 season and amassed a hundred and fourteen appearances and scored four goals, and was appointed captain of the club from 2006, before he joined Austria Karnten on 30th January 2008, on loan. He won two further Austrian Championship medals, in 2004-05 and 2007-08. He played ten times for Austria Karnten before he returned to Rapid Vienna in July 2008 and made four League appearances before rejoining Austria Karnten once more in August 2009 on a contract to June 2010. He scored once in eleven games in the season. He gained fifty caps for Austria, reaching that milestone in Euro 2008, when he again made the Austrian squad, and at the age of thirty-five on 16th June 2008 he led the Austrian team that held favourites Germany to a 1-0 margin in Vienna in the Finals Group B fixture. He scored one International goal and was the Austrian captain from 2007. He scored twice for the renamed Austria Salzburg, now called Red Bull Salzburg, in twenty-one games in the 2010-11 season, before retiring on 28th May 2011. He then joined the coaching staff of the Red Bull Juniors Salzburg,where he became assistant to coach Gerald Baumgartner. In January 2012, both switched to FC Pasching, Salzburg's partner.

Billy Bremner paid £190,000 to take him to Leeds in July 1988, Howard Wilkinson took over and initially played Hilaire regularly, but as he built his team with players like Gordon Strachan there was no room for him. He was loaned to Stoke City in November 1989 and scored once in five League starts. He had scored six goals in forty-four League games of which two had been from the bench when he was sold to Stoke City in November 1990.

He became a regular on the Leeds right flank, sometimes as a full-back or on other occasions, on the wing. He went on to score noneteen League goals in one hundred and sixty-five starts and sixteen games from the bench in the League, before joining his "local" team of Burnley, in August 1984, where he finished his League career, scoring twenty-three goals in eighty-three starts in the League.

As a schoolboy he represented Nottingham and Nottinghamshire schoolboys and played with Notts County Boys before joining Nottingham Forest as an apprentice in May 1978 and signed professional forms for them in October 1980. At the end of his second season as a professional he made his first team debut. He scored thirty League goals in one hundred and twenty-three appearances, including one as a substitute, as Brian Clough tried to rebuild his European Cup-Winning team. He was transferred to Aston Villa for £450,000 in a surprise move in August 1985. By then he was a permanent member of the England Under-Twenty-One team, having debuted in a 1-0 win in Greece on 16th November 1982 in a European Championship Qualifier. He had also gain the first of his two England "B" caps. He prospered at Villa Park and he gained his full England debut on 26th March 1986, against Russia, in Tibilisi, when he came on as a substitute for Gordan Cowens in the fifty-second minute. He became a regular member of Bobby Robson's England squad as they targetted the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and the 1988 European Championship in West Germany. He had been captain at Villa Park but after scoring twelve goals in fifty-three League starts he accepted the chance to join Tottenham Hotspur in a £650,000 deal, in December 1986. He played in the Tottenham side that lost to Coventry City in the 1987 FA Cup Final, after scoring twice in their 4-1 Semi-Final win over Watford. He had continued to pick up England caps, but became unsettled when Terry Venables took over from David Pleat at White Hart Lane and it came as no surprise when he returned to Forest, for £575,000, in August 1988, after scoring seven times in forty-five League games, including one as a substitute. He rediscovered his best form, helping Brian Clough’s side to win the 1989 Wembley Finals of both the Simod and Littlewoods/League Cup, with Hodge winning his first major honour as Forest beat Luton Town 2-1. The League Cup was won again the following year when Hodge played in the 1-0 Final win over Oldham Athletic. He was selected in the 1989–90 Football League First Division PFA Team of the Year and he regained his place in the England squad for the 1990 World Cup, but injuries meant that he was unable to play a game. Injuries and the emergence of Irish star Roy Keane saw Hodge on the sidelines at his club, although he did appear as a substitute for Forest in the 1991 FA Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur, having played his final League game for Forest the previous week against Leeds United, the team he signed for in a £900,000 deal in July 1991, having scored twenty times in eighty-two League games, three of which were as a substitute, during his second spell at the City Ground. His England career had continued even though punctuated by lost of form or by injury. he won his second and final "B" cap and his twenty-fourth and final England cap. Nicknamed “Harry”, the former England international midfielder made an instant impact with Leeds, coming on as a substitute on his debut and scoring a point-saving goal against Sheffield Wednesday. Indeed he made only a dozen starts, and eleven off the bench, during the 1991-92 championship winning season, but was well-known for coming off the bench and scoring decisive late goals. He did play enough times to gain a Championship medal, but the famous Leeds midfield of Gordon Strachan, David Batty, Gary McAllister and Gary Speed was in such fine form meant he was used as a late hit-man substitute or filling in in case of injury to the famous four and during his injury-blighted time at Elland Road he did not really command a regular place. He could easily point to many significant contributions to the United cause, probably none more crucial than, after seven substitute League appearances, he made his run on debut against Liverpool on 21st September 1991 as his goal gave Leeds full points against Liverpool, for the first time in eighteen years! Three games later he and Mel Sterland both bagged braces to ensure full points at home to Sheffield United on 5th October 1991. He was on the mark the following game at Meadow Lane, in a 4-2 win over Notts County on 19th October 1991 and another brace, against Southampton at Elland Road on Boxing Day, saw a point gained. Leeds did not lose one game in which Hodge scored! He was unable to add to his tally of twenty-four England caps while at Leeds, and after struggling with injury and loss of form, he was loaned to Derby County in August 1994, where he scored twice in ten games. He left Leeds and signed for Queens Park Rangers for £300,000 in October 1994 but was unable to make an impression as Rangers struggled in the EPL and after failing to score in fifteen appearances, he moved to Watford in December 1995. He did not stay long at Vicarage Road, making only two scoreless appearances and was released in June 1996. After trials with Bristol City and Walsall, he had a spell in Hong Kong but he returned and joined Leyton Orient in August 1997 on a non-contract basis but retired in June 1998 after only one game in which he didn’t score. He obtained his Coaching certificate and joined the coaching staff at Chesterfield, and also coached juniors at Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Notts County.(Leeds United Player Details)

Ginger-haired Hopkins started with Port of Glasgow Boys Club before joining his hometown team Morton in July 1989. He had a trial with Sheffield United in 1991 but after scoring seven goals in fifty-two games, comprising four goals in thirty-three starts and fifteen games from the bench in the Scottish League, one goal in two starts in the Scottish Cup and two goals in two starts in the Scottish League Cup, he left Morton for Chelsea at a fee of £300,000 on 25th September 1992. In almost three years at Stamford Bridge he scored once in forty-six appearances without really establishing himself in the first team. Indeed, his one goal was scored in the League, in which he made nineteen of his forty appearances as a substitute and two of his five F.A. Cup appearances were from the bench, as was his only League Cup appearance. Conspicuous by his tattoos and shock of red hair, Hopkin made an impressive debut in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool on 10th February 1993, one of few impressive performers in a truly dire match. Not surprisingly he kept his place for the following weekend's visit of Aston Villa, but Chelsea lost, manager Ian Porterfield was sacked and his caretaker replacement, David Webb, surprisingly opted to replace him with the woefully out-of-form Robert Fleck on the right wing, selecting Hopkin for just two substitute appearances in the final three months of the season. He fared little better under new manager Glenn Hoddle when the former England man took over that summer. Hopkin was given his first opportunity to impress when he replaced the suspended Dennis Wise for a trip to Aston Villa but was immediately dropped after a 1-0 defeat that continued a disappointing start to what was a poor league campaign. He was given further opportunities either side of Christmas but rarely shone. Perhaps his most significant moment in a Chelsea shirt came when he crossed for Gavin Peacock to score the goal against Wolves which took Chelsea into their first FA Cup semi-final for twenty-four years but by the time the final came around, Hopkin was on the sidelines. There was little change in his fortunes the following season. Hoddle signed David Rocastle just prior to the start of the season, putting another obstacle in Hoppy's way, and it wasn't until late October that he resurfaced in the first-team. Despite being unavailable, he did, however, benefit in part from Chelsea's European run as he found himself being recalled to the squad for the weekend matches following the European ties as Hoddle looked to rest players. He scored his only goal for the club with a header in a 3-3 draw at Everton in May but it was little more than a swansong. Sporadic appearances were barely adequate for a man who had travelled south in the hope of making a name for himself and he played his last game for the club in a 2-1 victory over Arsenal on the final day of the season before joining Crystal Palace on 29th July 1995 for £850,000 and going on to perform well at the highest level for both club and country. He starred on the Eagles' right-flank for two seasons in the mid 1990s making an important contribution to Palace's progress. Strong running and possessing a prodigious long throw-in, Hopkin was a huge asset to the club's cause and had a flair for scoring spectacular goals. This talent was never better demonstrated than in the 1997 play-offs. For the second year in a row Palace only needed a win at Wembley to win promotion to the Premiership and David produced a fantastic moment in Palace history that supporters will always remember him for. With the match against Sheffield United scoreless and with only a minute to go until full-time Palace won a corner that was headed clear to him, twenty yards from goal. He controlled the ball with his left foot before curling an unstoppable shot past Simon Tracey in the Blades goal much to the delight of the 30,000 or so Eagles fans present. Hopkin won the club “Player of the Year” and was awarded full international honours for Scotland in 1997 but to the disappointment of everybody at Selhurst Park he moved to Leeds United on 21st July 1997 for a fee of £3.25million. He had scored thirty goals in ninety-nine appearances in his first spell with Palace. He scored twenty-one League goals in eighty-three games of which just four were from the bench. There were no goals in the F.A. Cup from three starts, but he scored six times in six League Cup starts and three times in seven starts in play-offs and other games. Hopkin was called up by his country for the first time on 1st June 1997 and went on to gain seven caps, including two as a substitute, and scored twice. After joining Leeds he remained a Scotland squad regular until injuries interevened. He was also selected for Scotland "B" at Tynecastle Park, Edinburgh on 21st April 1998, his only appearance at that level. He was a key part of Leeds hopes and plans for the future under George Graham. He knew how to find the goal as well as being a dominating force in the middle of the park. There was also a strong expectation from the fans, who had seen him outplay Lee Bowyer when the two clubs had met in the League Cup in the previous season. With strong competition for the midfield places, and with George Graham occasionally playing tactics that completely bypassed the middle of the park, Hopkin did not figured as strongly as he would have hoped in 1997-98 season, missing a couple of games through illness and suspension and often being replaced by substitutes later in the game. In 1998-99, he became a regular in the starting line-up, but there was still stiff competition for places and continued speculation about signings. His scoring record dropped off somewhat and though he had an excellent rate at Palace, it was a lot less prolific for Leeds. Under David O'Leary, he was in and out of the midfield at the start of the 1999-2000 season before an operation which kept him out for nearly two months. The fact that he could barely make it onto the bench when he returned, even with David Batty absent, told him he was no really part of O’Leary’s plans, and after talk about a move away from Elland Road on 7th July 2000 he went to Bradford City for £2.5million. While at Elland Road he scored six goals in sixty-four starts and nine games from the bench in the League, made six starts in the F.A. Cup and seven in the League Cup, and six starts and one game from the bench in European games without scoring. Injury ravaged his time at Valley Parade and he only played sixteen games without scoring. There were only eight League starts and three more from the bench and just one start in the League Cup, while he did start three, and came of the bench once, as City contested the Inter-Toto Cup at the beginning of the pre-season. On 15th March 2001 he returned to London, for £1.5million, to help keep Crystal Palace in Division One. He returned to something of his old self, albeit in a lower division. His form was one of the major factors in the club avoiding relegation to the Second Division that season. After scoring four times in thirty-one games in his second spell at the club, all four goals coming in the League, in which he started twenty-one and was used as a substitute eight times to add to his one start in the F.A. Cup and one substitute appearance in the League Cup, he was released by Palace on 31st August 2002 and returned to Morton on a free transfer. After scoring twice, once in the Scottish League and once in the Scottish League Cup in six Starts in the League and one in the League Cup, he retired on 14th November 2002 due to a recurring ankle injury. Hopkin and Derek Collins had a brief spell as joint caretaker manager at Morton when they occupied the dugout for a match against Albion Rovers. Hopkin made one appearance, against Berwick Rangers, as a seventy-sixth minute substituteon 4th October 2003 but it was his last.He owned the Gift Box Newsagents in Greenock and did a bit of coaching at Port Glasgow Boys Club and Maryhill with Brian Heron where he was Assistant manager. He then returned to Morton where he became manager of the Reserve team with Jonatan Johansson and Alan Moore in charge of the first team. After Allan Moore was sacked as manager, Hopkin again took interim charge of the first team assisted by Derek Anderson.He continued as manager of the Development squad, but he also became assistant manager when Kenny Shiels became manager. Hopkin took Shiels place as match-day interviewee after Shiels became unable to do so on medical advice. Hopkin resigned as assistant manager of Morton in April 2014. Hopkin left his post as reserve team manager to become assistant head coach at Livingston to Mark Burchill. Hopkin took temporary charge of the Livingston first team, after Burchill left the club, in December 2015. After three games, Livingston appointed Hopkin as head coach until the end of the 2015/16 season and as of late March 2017 still held the position.(Leeds United Player Details)

Nottingham

23-04-1976

After progressing through the Lincoln City Academy he signed professional on 14th July 1993. A regular scorer at youth team level, he made his first team debut as a substitute, on 1st March 1994 in a 2-1 win at Shrewsbury Town, scoring within five minutes of coming on. Only seventeen years of age, he made four further substitute appearances that season but had to wait another year until he made his run-on debut, but soon established himself as a regular after that. He scored twice in the final three games of the 1994-95 season, including one in a 3-1 win at Division Three champions Carlisle United on the final day of the season. His form at the start of the 1995-96 season had the scouts gathering in swarms at Sincil Bank. Nineteen of his thirty-one appearances for the Imps came in that season and his performance on 1st November 1995 in a 2-1 win at Mansfield Town, convinced the watching Newcastle United Manager, Kevin Keegan, to sign the Imps' speedster on 9th November 1995. He played his final game for the Imps on 4th November 1995 in a 1-1 draw against Hartlepool United at Sincil Bank. He scored five goals in twenty League starts and eight as substitute, as well as starting two League Cup ties, without scoring and scoring twice in one other game. Part of the deal saw a full strength Magpie outfit, including newly signed Alan Shearer, play the Imps in the following pre-season at Sincil Bank. His time at Newcastle was hardly illustrious. His full career consisted of one substitute appearance in a 2-1 home win over Bolton Wanderers on 20th January 1996 in the League, after having played as a substitute in his club debut in the F.A. Cup in a home 2-2 draw with Chelsea, three days previous, without finding the net in either game. He had been snapped up by Newcastle as his potential was there for all to see. However, Newcastle never saw the realisation of that potential, with Huckerby never making a start for the first team. Despite this, he was still a very popular player amongst the fans and his team-mates, and he did go on to justify Newcastle's judgement elsewhere. Firstly he was loaned out to Millwall for a month from 5th September 1996, where he started six League games and netted three goals before he returned to St James' on 2nd October 1996. Coventry City saw the potential in the exciting Huckerby and paid £1million for him on 23rd November 1996. Possessed of a good turn of speed, Huckerby used this to good effect on the wing or when he was used as a conventional forward. He soon came to the notice of others as he scored some spectacular goals including a hat-trick at Leeds near the end of the 1997-98 season. His good form was recognized by England as he was selected for four consecutive Under-Twenty-One Internationals. He came on as a sixtieth minute replacement for Darren Eadie as England beat Italy 1-0 in the 1998 Euro Qualifiers, then started but was replaced in the eighty-fourth minute by future Leeds player Ian Moore in a 0-0 home draw with Switzerland, was a half-time replacement for Emile Heskey in a home 0-0 draw with Georgia in the Euro Qualifiers and finally as a sixty-seventh minute replacement for the same Emile Heskey in the same competition. He also picked up a cap for the England "B" team on 10th February 1998 as they went down 1-2 to Chile at the Hawthorns, when he started and played a full game. “A scorer of great goals, but not a great goal-scorer" was how Gordon Strachan, his manager summed him up after pocketing £4million on 11th August 1999, which saw Huckerby on the way to Leeds United, after scoring twenty-eight League goals in eighty-five starts and nine substitute appearances, together with six goals in twelve starts in the F. A. Cup and none in two starts and one from the bench in the League Cup, for the Sky Blues. To be fair he could not really have expected to be picked ahead of the in-form Michael Bridges and later the multi-talented Mark Viduka, while he also had a forelorn hope of replacing the brilliant Harry Kewell on the left, so his was a back-up role in case of injury to the Leeds stars or as an impact player to take advantage of tired legs in opposition, when his lightening speed could be used to its best effect. The Leeds' fans expectations were not fulfilled by the player they called “Forest Gump” as he failed to produce the goods on a consistent basis and was almost a permanent fixture on the bench for Leeds in the 1999-2000 campaign where he came from the bench no fewer than twenty-four times to supplement his nine starts in which he hit the net only twice. After a miserable start to the following season when five more substitute appearances and two starts failed to produce a goal, he was sold to Manchester City for £3.4million on 29th December 2000. He had scored twice in eleven League starts and twenty-nine from the bench did not score in one start and two games from the bench in the F.A. Cup, but scored twice in the League Cup in one start and one from the bench and two also in Europe in one start and ten from the bench. His first season was just a continuation of his Leeds career, scoring just once, a penalty, in thirteen appearances, of which five were off the bench, as City were relegated. The following season saw the resurrection of Huckerby’s reputation as he was the leading light in City’s promotion drive back to the EPL. He scored twenty goals in the League from thirty starts and ten more from the bench. In total he scored twenty six goals in the season that saw him win his first honour, a First Division Championship medal. The arrival of Robbie Fowler and Nicolas Anelka at Maine Road in 2003, meant he was surplus to requirements and he went on loan to Forest from the end of February to the end of the season, scoring five times in nine games, helping his hometown side to the play-offs, where he played twice without scoring, but just missing out on promotion and returned to Maine Road on 16th May 2003. With the arrival of Steve McManaman, he fell further down the pecking order as City moved to their new home at the City of Manchester Stadium, and it came as no surprise when he joined Norwich City on loan on 8th September 2003. He was an instant hit, scoring five League goals in sixteen starts and had Manager Nigel Worthington interested in prolonging his three month proposed loan, as Huckerby started to find the net more regularly and once won the Division One player of the month award. Both Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion had also taken a keen interest in his progress, but none of the clubs were impressed by Huckerby's agent's declaration that Huckerby was an EPL player and would demand EPL wages. It took a personal statement from the player to the Carrow Road club saying he was quite happy there to calm the situation. Notts Forest, West Bromwich Albion, Millwall and Sheffield United were all linked with Huckerby as the season progressed through November and Huckerby returned to the City of Manchester Stadium on 13th December 2003 after playing for Norwich in a 4-1 drubbing of Cardiff City at Carrow Road in which he found the net twice and put on a "Man of the Match" performance. On 16th December 2003 West Bromwich Albion had a bid for Huckerby accepted by Manchester City. This brought an immediate bid from Norwich City of £750,000 which was also accepted by his employers. Huckerby rejected the West Bromwich Albion offer and decided not to travel to the Hawthorns to discuss terms. He discussed terms with the Carrow Road club for two days from Monday 22nd December 2003 but a deal could not be agreed, despite Norwich offering to make Huckerby their best ever paid player. On Christmas Eve, the deal seemed dead. A belated Christmas present was delivered when Huckerby was presented to the Norwich crowd for the Boxing Day clash with Notts Forest. He signed that day for £750,000 and made his second Norwich debut on 3rd January 2004 in the 3-1 FA Cup defeat at Everton. A clause in the contract meant that it would rise to £1million if Norwich achieved promotion, which they eventually did. He had scored twenty-two goals in forty League starts and a further twenty-five games from the bench, with two more goals being scored in six starts and one game from the bench in the F.A. Cup, six goals in two starts and three from the bench in the League Cup, and one goal in one other game, while with the Sky Blues. Seen by most as the main reason why Norwich won promotion to the EPL in 2003-4, he was surprisingly missing from the PFA Division One Team of the Year. However he was selected as the PFA Fans' Player of the Year for Division One. He was linked with a move to Liverpool in January 2005, but he insisted he would honour his Norwich contract. In June 2005 he was linked with a reunion with Gordon Strachan, who had become Manager at Celtic. Huckerby won the Norwich City Player of the Year award for the 2006-07 season. He made his two hundredth appearance for Norwich City on 13th April 2008 in a 1-2 defeat by Ipswich Town at Portman Road. He made his final appearance for the Canaries on 4th May 2008 in the 1-4 defeat at Hillsborough by Sheffield Wednesday on 4th May 2008, which saw Huckerby score his forty-eighth goal for the Canaries. Two days later and it was announced that City would not be renewing his contract much to the dismay of many Norwich fans. He had scored thirty-six League goals in one hundred and sixty-one starts and thirteen more from the bench, with five more in eight F.A. Cup starts and two in five starts in the League Cup after signing permanently for Norwich. He ruled out joining any English clubs as he did not wish to have to play against Norwich City, and so his horizons widened towards the MSL with Toronto FC and San Jose Earthquakes the main clubs of interest. On 11th July 2008, Huckerby signed for San Jose Earthquakes and his transfer was duly processed on 15th July 2008. He made his debut on 19th July 2008 and scored his first goal against Red Bull New York on the 27th of the same month. In a crucial match for the Earthquakes, on 3rd August 2008, Huckerby scored his second goal, against the LA Galaxy, in a 3-2 Earthquakes win. On 30th August, he headed in the winning goal in the side's 2-1 victory over Kansas City Wizards, extending San Jose's unbeaten streak to seven games. During this run, Huckerby netted three goals and laid on three for others. At the end of his first season in the MLS, Huckerby was voted San Jose's Most Valuable Player. He has scored six goals in fourteen games making him the team's leading in goalscorer. After an outstanding performance in September he was named the MLS Player of the Month. On 11th November 2008 he was named as the 2008 MLS Newcomer of the Year. In the 2009 season he made a further fourteen appearanances, one of which was from the bench, and added three more goals, to make his record twenty-seven starts and one from the bench and nine goals and five assists. In that season Huckerby suffer from injuries and in September 2009, he required surgery on a shredded hip joint. He underwent surgery to remedy his hip injury and on 16th September 2009 he announced his retirement with 99% certainty. He returned to Norwich and loves in Norfolk, doing charity work. He is also trying to gain coaching qualifications and has featured for Leeds United in the Masters Football Competition, when the club were national runners-up and Huckerby won the "Golden Boot" award.(Leeds United Player Details)
