Alan Peacock features at number 73 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.
Born Middlesbrough 1937, he joined his hometown club and gained England Youth honours before turning professional in 1954. He formed a prolific goalscoring spearhead with Brian Clough scoring 126 League goals in 218 appearances and was a full England International before LUFC paid ????53,000 for him in 1964. His goals immediately secured promotion for his new team. Acknowledged as one of the finest headers of the post-war era he added 2 more England caps to take his total to six before injuries stopped him from greatly increasing his tally. After 65 games and 31 goals he was allowed to go to Plymouth Argyle in 1967 but soon was forced to retire.
