The best defensive header of a ball Leeds have had since Jack Charlton? Just above Fairclough & Whyte in my time. We have never been the same since he left.

PJ was excellent at his strengths but poor at his weak areas. Better as a defender than most that have been brought in to replace him but that says more about our recruitment than anything else. If we'd signed Ben White then likly PJ becomes a distant memory.

For me Wober is far more similar to PJ than any other defender we have signed in that he more of an out and out defender.
Our fans gave Pontus some right stick!

And agree, Wober is our best CB signing in a long time. (ten goals conceded without our Austrian star in our last three matches).

One of my favourite Leeds centre-backs of the modern-era. Shame so many of our fans hated him :shock:

Wish we had that defensive heading at corners now.
Until Wober came along, we haven't been great in that department since Pontus left.
