Season 1994-1995 Details

Howard Wilkinson returned to his old club Sheffield Wednesday and brought back England Midfielder Carlton Palmer, for £2.6 million and Northern Ireland left side defender/midfielder Nigel Worthington. He also took a chance on two South Africans, defender Lucas Radebe and striker Philomen Masinga, who were picked up for £250,000 on the recommendation of a Leeds Scout, who had watched them representing their country against Zambia. A healthy profit resulted as £1 million was received from Norwich City for Jon Newsome, in June. During the season there were exits for several other players, to everyone’s surprise Gordon Strachan was given a free to Coventry City, where he had been promised managerial prospects by his friend Ron Atkinson, in March. Few could understand why such an inspirational leader, with almost 250 appearances to his name could not be found a coaching position in the Elland Road set-up.
