A product of the Westfields Sports High School, which produced Harry Kewell, Jason Culina, Jamie McMaster and Jacob Burns along with many other world renowned Australian Football and Sports personalities, he was tipped to be one of the next stars of an emerging Socceroo’s youth set-up. He was capped at Youth and Under-Twenty-Three level by Australia. Originally a left-sided midfielder, the young star had excelled after being tried out in a defensive role. He was handed a squad number by Leeds at the start of the 2001-02 season despite still being only eighteen-years-old but injuries meant he could not make an impact. He held onto his squad number for the following term. Unable to break into the first team squad, he was loaned out to Third Division side Rochdale, in November 2002, and played three League games and one F.A. Cup game. His contract was not renewed at the end of the season and he joined Danish club AGF Aarhus in June 2003, not having played for the first team but being several times an unused substitute. He was a member of the Australian squad for the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004 and played every minute of the four games. At Aarhus he scored seven times in eighty-two games, five of which were as a substitute, and after three years with them he signed a two year contract with Tranmere Rovers and shortened his name to Shane Sherriff in June 2006. He quickly established himself and became an almost an ever-present for the Prenton Park Club. In his two seasons there he scored five goals in the League from eighty-three starts and four games from the bench, while in eight Cup games he scored twice. There was talk of him returning to Australia to play for Sydney FC but he signed for Shrewsbury Town on a two year deal in June 2008. He scored a goal on his debut, in the 4-0 win over Macclesfield Town on 9th August 2008. At the end of his third season with Shrewsbury he had scored six times in one hundred and nine starts and six games from the bench in the League and started two F.A. Cup and scored once in three League Cup ties as well as having scored once in seven other games. He signed a further two year contract with Shrewsbury in June 2010. He moved to Preston North End on 16th May 2014 after scoring nine goals in one hundred and fifty League games for Shrewsbury, of which eight were as a substitute, he also scored once in five League Cup starts and once in six starts in the Football League Trophy, while he started five F.A. Cup ties and two Play-offs without scoring. His two year stay at Preston was not a happy one as he scored once in fifteen games, one of which was as a substitute and there were three starts in the F.A. Cup, two in the League Cup and two in the Football League Trophy, which produced no goals. He spent much of his time at Deepdale on loan, firstly with Rochdale where he had seventeen League games, without scoring, one of which was from the bench in the period from 30th January to 28th April 2013. He went to Burton Albion on 25th September 2013 and remained for the whole of the 2013-14 starting thirty-two League games, two F.A. Cup ties and two starts in the Division Two play-offs as Burton were defeated by Fleetwood Town at Wembley by a single goal. He signed for Burton on a permanent basis on 28th May 2014.

Cantona | Eric Daniel Pierre/Eric | 22-04-1991 | 1992-1992 | IF | Marsaille, France | 24-05-1966 | | French International, who played a couple of games for the Reserves before making his mark as Leeds won the Football League Championship and the the Charity Shield, but he did not stay to allow Leeds to take advantage of his undoubted skills as, in November 1992, he crossed the Pennines to pilot Manchester United to four EPL titles, three F.A. Cups and three Charity Shields in four and a half years before retiring prematurely at the age of thirty-one. Capped forty-five times fror France he scored twenty goals for them and was also Captain.

"L'enfant terrible" of French football continued to pursue his antics with similar disregard for authority and spent spells on the sidelines for his indiscretions. In many eyes this misbeheaviour was outweighed by the skills he showed on the field of play, something that remained as he pioneered beach football before going into acting.

He gained a championship medal in the 2004 season, as he played twenty-four games without scoring, as his club retained their title. He found it hard to maintain his first-team place in the 2005 season and he was loaned to Longford Town, where he scored once in nine appearances, before returning to University College in the early part of the 2006 season. After scoring once in fifteen games he moved once more when he switched to Waterford United, but it was another short spell and, after two goals in nine appearances, he began the 2007 season at Bray Wanderers.

Chapman | Lee Roy/Lee | 03-03-1993 | 1990-1996 | CF | Lincoln | 03-12-1959 | | Chapman began his professional career with Stoke City in June 1978. He was loaned to Plymouth Argyle as a youngster in December 1978, where he gained experience by making three starts and one game from the bench during his one month loan spell from 5th December 1978 to 31st December 1978, but failed to open his goal account. Returning to Stoke he broke into the first team in 1979, making ninety-five starts and four games from the bench in League games and scoring thirty-four goals. He had showed enough early promise to win an England Under-Twenty-One cap at Anfield in a 1-0 win over Ireland on 25th February 1981. However, after establishing himself at Stoke his career faltered with two big money moves to Arsenal for £500,000 in August 1982 and Sunderland for £100,000 in December 1983. At Highbury he played twenty-three times, of which eight were as a substitute, and scored just four goals in League games in his sixteen month stay with the Gunners, before moving to Sunderland.At Roker Park, he scored just three goals in playing fifteen League games, including one as a substitute. He had to be thankful to Howard Wilkinson, who got the best out of Chapman when he signed him for Sheffield Wednesday on 24th August 1984. He rediscovered his goalscoring prowess, netting sixty-three times in one hundred and forty-seven starts and two games from the bench in the League. He stayed with the Owls for four years but after Howard Wilkinson had left, he too departed Hillsbrough for pastures new in France, where he tried his luck with Chamois Nortais, who paid £350,000 for his services on 1st June 1988. The move was a disater as the troubled French side threatened to succumb to their financial problems. Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest paid £300,000 to bring him back tmes in ten games for the Niort based French club. He stayed at th City Ground for fifteen months and experienced the high of being part of the Forest team that won the League Cup and the Zenith Data Systems Cup in 1989, scoring twice at the old Wembley in the final of the latter, but also the experiencing the dreadful low of being a Forest player on the day of the Hillsborough Disaster. He did not need to be asked twice to rejoin his former mentor and £400,000 was the price Leeds United paid to bring Chapman back to the scene of his former triumph and to link up again with Howard Wilkinson on 11th January 1990. He was an immediate success, helping United win the Second Division title in 1990. A powerful man in the air, he joined the large ex-Sheffield Wednesday contingent at Elland Road. He scored the goal at Bournemouth which sealed the Second Division Championship for Leeds in May 1990. Mel Sterland was one former colleague who kept an endless supply of crosses heading in his direction, and with two goals against his former club Nottingham Forest in the final game of 1990-91 he took his tally for the season to thirty-one, the best by any striker in the First Division and pushed his career tally to two hundred. He was an integral part of the Leeds team that won the last ever First Division title, prior to the formation of the Premier League. During his spell at Leeds, where he scored sixty-two League goals from one hundred and thirty-five starts and four games from the bench, his form was rewarded with a single England "B" on 27th October 1991 at Vicarage Road, Watford, in a 1-0 win over Iceland, when the England goal was scored by Nigel Clough, his replacement at Forest, and he was replaced in the sixty-ninth minute by Brian Deane, who would be the player to replace him at Leeds as Wilkinson began rebuilding his team. A transfer to Portsmouth followed on 11th August 1993, for £250,000, where he started five League matches, scoring twice and failing to score in one other game. Just four months later he was back in the top flight with West Ham United for a similar fee, on 16th September 1993, going on to score seven times in thirty-three League starts and seven games from the bench. Now past his prime, he was loaned out to Southend United, scoring on his sole appearance. He was hastily recalled by West Ham to be sold for a cut-price £70,000 to Ipswich Town on 19th January 1996. He failed to capture the fan’s hearts at Portman Road, but rejoined Leeds on loan on 11th January 1996, as Wilkinson found his attack badly affected by injuries, suspensions and international calls. He lined up against his old club West Ham United and played a big part in the opening goal of a 2-0 win, but minutes later he was sent off. The following week he played in the 5-0 thrashing at Liverpool, was substituted and, after serving his suspension, returned to Ipswich. At Portman Road he scored one single League goal in eleven starts and eleven games from the bench in League games and he also started one League Cup game and two other games withthout scoring. On 28th Match 1996 he moved to his last Football League club, Swansea City, where he scored four times in seven League starts before winding down his career with a five game spell with Stromsgodset in Norway, to finish with an impressive career total of one hundred and ninety-seven goals from five hundred and fifty-two Football League appearances.

He went on to make one hundred and four League starts, before joining Rotherham United as a non-contract player in February 1983. He would hardly look back at his brief Rotherham United career with any great memories because he came into the team for the last five games of the 1982-83 season when they were staring relegation from Division Two in the face. His debut was in a 0-4 defeat at Newcastle United, whose team included Kevin Keegan and Chris Waddle, but at least he had the consolation of being in the team on 7th May 1983, when they recorded their first home win of the season by beating Blackburn Rovers before the inevitable drop came after a last game of the season draw at Leeds United.

Antrim, Northern Ireland | 20-12-1984 | | He had represented Northern Ireland at Under-Fifteen level when he joined Leeds in 2001, as a Trainee and made his way through the Juniors and to the Reserves in the next two seasons, often being the unused substitute before finally making his debut. In that time Leeds had many fine goalkeepers who went on to represent England at full international level. Nigel Martyn, Paul Robinson and Scott Carson and Youth and other age internationals, such as Australian Danny Milosevic and England's Shaun Allaway. So it was not surprising that it was not until the 2004-05 season that he managed to establish himself before he was released at the end of the season. He was loaned to Carlisle United from 31st March 2005 until 15th May 2005, and he sat unused seven times on the bench for the first team in the Conference League. |

Like many other Irishmen he progressed through the Leeds Juniors and made spasmodic appearances for the Reserves. He found it difficult to progress at Leeds due to the high competition for places and an injury did not help matters.

He had scored twenty-seven goals in just under one hundred appearances for United.
