Alan Smith features at number 38 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.
Scored with his first touch in senior football as Leeds beat Liverpool in November 1998, going on to to establish himself as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's first choice striking partner for the rest of that season. Smith coupled a deadly eye for goal with a real aggression, unusual in one so slight of stature. Smith gained excellent experience during Leeds' successful Champions League run during the 2000/01 season, the return of 11 Premiership goals was the best of his career. He made his England debut in 2001. The 2003/04 season was a huge one for Smith, he remained a shining light in a dismal Leeds team and was an inspiration. Smith scored 56 goals in a total of 228 games before controversially leaving for Manchester United.

People keep pushing this thread back to the top by writing on it, if you don't wanna talk about him don't write on this thread, it'll soon drop!

He's playing for Newcastle against Darlington, just whipped in hell of a cross and Barton headed it, 1-0 Newcastle.

Can't see him coming now, but still a top player.

As I said the fans who travelled to Falkirk like me and who are going to Motherwell this weekend made there feelings on him very clear
Probably dint hear us in guilford
