Fate might not always give our captains everything they deserve, but the good ones aren't playing for fate. They're playing for us.
Alan Smith ⭑ From A-Z since '92
Alan Smith did play for twenty seasons, but only six were for his hometown club, and like so much of the Ridsdale and O'Leary years, he left more questions than answers about what might have been made of everything Leeds, and Smith, had going for them.
