Lee Bowyer features at number 26 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.
Bowyer moved to Leeds United in July 1996 from Charlton Athletic for a then British record fee for a teenager of ????3 million. After taking a long time to settle, his performances led to him being voted United's Player of the Year for 1998/99. A hard-working player, hard in the tackle and with an eye for goal, Bowyer looked to be the fringe of an England place until his well-publicised troubles. Bowyer showed magnificent form in the first half of the 1999/2000 season, he was a star at home and in Europe as Leeds made the semi-finals of the Champions League, and he almost finished top scorer in the competition. He was one of the best players in the Premiership throughout 2000/01, even though his court case was in progress. He left Leeds in 2003 for West Ham before moving to Newcastle United.

Every day I read the same messages about how we need a midfielder who can win a tackle and when one comes along who's better than our current midfielders and who imo we have a real chance of signing, these people complain that 'he's not a nice boy so I don't want him to play for my team' . . Seems bizzare to me.
Depends if you want success at all costs, I guess? What gets me is these people show no remorse and - as I said before - seem to believe that normal societal rules do not apply to them.

When caught out they simply throw enough money at their accusers - or into the pockets of their fancy lawyers - to make whatever it is go away and carry on.

Whilst nobody is whiter than white, I think a line has to be drawn somewhere. Otherwise the mad Libyan colonel would be in the team, if he could do a job.

Bowyer is no more than a corner boy and precursor to the likes of Rooney, who believe that the standards and laws applied to us mere mortals are somehow irrelevant to them.

No thanks.

They all loved the club, Bakke and Kelly stayed on when we went down. Harte was and always will be a Leeds great in my eyes.

Didn't mind Kelly or Bakke for that matter, but Harte??
