Tony Dorigo features at number 18 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.
Born Melbourne in 1965. Tony joined Aston Villa in 1982 and won 11 England under 21 caps before a 475,000 move to Chelsea in 1987. In his four years at Stamford Bridge he gained 6 of his 15 full caps and a Second Division championship medal and also scored the winner when Chelsea lifted the 1990 Zenith Cup at Wembley. He was signed by Howard Wilkinson for ????1.3m in 1991 to solve the problem left back position and became United's best player in that position since Terry Cooper. His cultured play, positional sense and lightening speed saw him send a stream of crosses, many converted by Lee Chapman. He was no slouch in the goalscoring stakes scoring in the 4-3 Charity Shield win over Liverpool and was also dangerous with free kicks anywhere within scoring range. Made 204 starts and another 4 off the bench with 6 goals.
