Danny Granville ⭑ From A-Z since '92
Although the later arrivals of Duberry, Mills et al made Danny Granville seem like exactly the sort of player David O'Leary was shopping for, George Graham had brought him in. And before long every player Graham had signed was sold.
Dan Harding ⭑ From A-Z since '92
Kevin Blackwell was not the right manager for nurturing the kind of young talent Leeds had, back in the early days of the David O'Leary era, made a habit of bringing in, of whom Dan Harding was the last hurrah.

Whyte's skills had been polished in the States, and he started his Leeds career by dribbling past two Scarborough players and shimmying around the goalie to score. More important, though, was his impenetrable consistency alongside Chris Fairclough.
