Eddie Gray grew a fashionable beard. Norman Hunter came back from visiting his sister in California wearing a bead necklace and Duncan McKenzie made fun of him for going 'mod'.
Peacock-Farrell carried himself through his chaotic baptism with such calm self-assurance that he was convincing others as well as himself the Leeds United no.1 shirt was his for years to come.
Dacourt had Batty playing more like his salad days when he and Vinnie Jones were running things in the middle together, taking it in turns at getting the ball and ganging up to never give other teams a moment's peace.

Leeds wanted to win the European Cup. Anderlecht wanted to prove themselves beyond Belgium. Brian Moore wanted the band to go away and everybody wanted to get dry.
The greatest factor in coming weeks is likely to be something altogether simple: the Leeds United team, whoever is on the pitch at any time, just playing well and winning.
One of the curiosities around a recent sense that Daniel Farke's team has become a bit more fun is how that has depended on Leeds playing a bit more worse. It's not a coincidence that this match with Millwall ended 2-0, the tenth 2-0 win of the season.
He only played twelve times for Leeds, and while we were getting relegated we had no time to learn Armando Sá's story. It's worth knowing.
No matter how many chances the cosmos could give Leeds to do this game over, I suspect Pompey's strength would keep doing Leeds over every single time.
