Olivier Dacourt features at number 39 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.
French International Dacourt first made his mark at RC Strasbourg, breaking through in the 1993/94 season. Everton paid ????4m for his services. Scored twice in 30 games in his only season at Goodison Park before being transferred back to France, joining RC Lens for ????6.5m. His all-action displays helped Lens reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. Returned to England to sign for Leeds in an ????7.2m deal and immediately added steel and quality to their youthful midfield. He starred as United reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. His star dipped from then on, though, and Dacourt joined AS Roma on loan in January 2003 before making the deal permanent in the summer. He played 78 games and scored 3 goals.
