Leeds United celebrate their centenary today, 100 years of our magnificent football club. In that time over 600 players have donned the famous white (or blue and gold) shirt. A myriad of internationals, some of them world cup winners, cult heroes and Derek Lilley amongst them. But how do you whittle that down to a greatest 100? A player's greatness is a reflection of their abilities or achievements as a player for Leeds United (or representing their country etc, when a Leeds United player) or for the place they hold in the hearts of Leeds fans.

Back in 2005 we compiled a list of the 100 Greatest Leeds Players but in the time that has passed since 2005 nearly 200 more players have donned the white shirt of Leeds United. It has not been a period of glory for Leeds United but there have been some stand out players who deserve to be added to the list. Some of those who were fresh in the memory when the initial vote was taken may have faded in the memory over the years and some players may now be looked on with greater fondness. As such we have updated our 100 Greatest Leeds United Players in time for our centenary year, starting with players 100-90…
