Scott Sellars features at number 93 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.
Born Sheffield 1965, he turned professional with LUFC in 1983 and soon became one of a number of talented youngsters encouraged to play open football by Manager Eddie Gray, but struggled with the physical aspects of the game. He asked for a transfer and joined Blackburn Rovers in 1986, where he won a Full Members Cup medal, was capped at England under 23 level and won promotion with them before leaving to rejoin LUFC in 1992. He always struggled with injuries and it came as no surprise when he left for Newcastle and later joined Bolton Wanderers. A talented left-footed midfielder, he made 90 appearances, scoring 14 goals.
