I thought we played horrendous football whenever he was on the pitch.

A team with wingers who ping hundreds of crosses in the box and have zero passing game will benefit from him.

With hindsight a good piece of business by Leeds United.

I do feel sorry for him, worked hard and genuinely appeared to enjoy his first season at Leeds United. Biggest faux pas by McDermott was to bring his electric, did I say electric, wingers and drop Smith. Truly bizarre.

Not the most gifted but he tried and visibly improved as time went by.

Snith is s sign of football instability and great example of why players need to make right choice in club moves.

Brought to Leeds because we were trying to do things on the cheap instead of really going for quality.

Change at Leeds saw him exit change at Fulham sees him exit again.

Am sure players would rather pick a club where there isn't chopping and changing all the time as they know they could be out if favour as soon as next change happens.

Wish him well in his career.

certainly agree Jonty.

Lower league striker looks decent for a game or 2...find themselves at Leeds....

What are Anthony Elding & Billy Paynter up to nowadays?

Elding came over here for a year or two........didn't light up the league neither.

Enoch Showunmi

Michael Ricketts

Habib Habibou

Keith Edwards

Darren Huckerby

Endless list of strikers who can't cut it. Matt Smith got a healthy haul in his first season so I don't think he's as bad as some.

Liam Dickinson, Lee Trundle & Sam Vokes were all much more prolific at Leeds.


By prolific, I actually mean <dogshit>

If you play hoof ball, he's the right sort of player, but had zero ability with the ball at his feet.

Scored a couple of crackers with his feet I recall....

Darren Huckerby
........

Really! Bit unfair to put him in that list. He was never prolific but had a good career.

At Leeds? I must have missed that one then.....

Keith Edwards was more Keith Richards at ER but one might suggest he did well elsewhere.

Huckerby at Leeds was a waste of time. In my opinion of course.

Huckerby was ok, David White, Derek Parlane, George McCluskey & John Pearson can go on your original list Stevie.

He wasn't but okay I'll accept you had seats with a limited view........ Yes, the new names can be added to what looks like an impressive list......!

I watched Huckerby on his debut against Derby County from memory. An uninspiring 0-0 draw and not much else to report except it took us almost 90 minutes to get out of the car park that is now the Park'n'ride.

He scored a few with his feet, but had zero ability on the ball.

Can't remember the last game of last season where he deftly lifted the ball over the advancing keeper. I think he was work in progress, he didn't start til late after all.

He's been better than a good few to wear the sacred shirt.

Stoopo

There was mention of this two days ago. I am surprised he is being shipped out so quickly by Fulham.

That said, he might not have settled in London.

I see another "poorly treated" former player has been released by his current club. Jamie Ashdown leaving Crawley Town. I hope he had plenty of notice, in writing.......

I'm sorry but smith was awful in the air.

He could barley jump so his height was often negated and he would get out jumped by players much smaller than him.

Add to that he had a head like a fifty pence and you are getting somewhere close to the place he is at.

Couldn't hold a regular first team place at Oldham, here and now Fulham.

Nice guy but a slow and below average player.

Mattyp

He was the only footballer at Leeds that was snow capped in July.



By the way is a barley jump a bit like a barley twist..?

Who remembers them...?

I remember a barley twist. Great dance just before kicking out time.
