Leeds United: Player Statistics

There are nearly 45000 'player appearances' in these stats, and over 6000 goals. They've been gleaned from a spreadsheet generously provided by Graham, 'Leeds United - A Complete Record 1919-1989' by Martin Jarred and Malcolm Macdonald, 'Leeds United - The Official Illustrated History' and 'The Essential History of Leeds United' by Andrew Mourant, from my extensive pile of newspapers, programmes and Rothmans yearbooks. I've now double-checked all of these numbers twice - but I may have missed something during one of my more cross-eyed sessions. Let me know if you see something obviously wrong: I'll be re-reviewing the numbers here against these sources over time.

Take a look in the gallery for a few pictures of players past and present.

To make life a bit simpler (and quicker for everyone), I've stored the player results alphabetically: pick a letter from the list below to see the stats. I have not included games from the war league and cup games in the overall stats, although they do appear listed in each individual's page. Pre-season games, the Charity Shield and 'friendly' tournaments such as the Festival of Britain games and the Makita Trophy are not counted for any purpose.

Below the index, you'll see the top ten appearance and scorers lists - it's no surprise that the majority of these players are from the Revie era - you're not likely to see such longevity or loyalty in the modern game. Next up is a list of all the hat-tricks scored by Leeds players, followed by a list of rarities: one game and one goal wonders. Interestingly, nobody appears on both of the latter lists (though Steve Balcombe came perilously close). There's also a list of players who managed to score on their debuts - some of whom went on to much greater things than others!
