Eirik Bakke features at number 55 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.
Born Sogndal in 1977, he signed for United in 1999 and soon became the find of his initial season. Brought over from Norway to be groomed for Premiership football, he made it impossible for Manager David O'Leary to leave him out. Captain of the Norwegian under 21's, he went on to win full caps and represented his country in Euro 2000. Voted Leeds Young Player of the Year, his tremendous touch, passing ability and an eye for goal, his ????1.75m fee looked a bargain, until injuries started to dog his career. Has won 25 full and 34 under 21 caps and, has 153 starts and 26 from the bench to date with 20 goals. He missed most of 2003-04 season and repeated the misfortune in 2004-05, when he was loaned to Aston Villa.
