Surprisingly it is slim pickings.
Just took a look on line.
Madeley
But cinci is right... it is slim pickings
I agree with Milky, Paul Madeley for me. A stylish and elegant player, comfortable in many positions, added to a very long career.
That's a pretty low bar
Why hasn't Leeds produced quality like Manchester and Liverpool?
Paul Madeley
David Harvey
Rodney Johnson
Ignoring the Wumming, but I’d say Madeley set the bar at a height most modern day footballers would need Bielsa’s binoculars to see!
I can only speak of modern day being a young'un.
So it is Milner for me.
No brainer for me has to be Paul Madeley for me my favourite Leeds player of all time played in every position except. goalkeeper poetry in motion.

If Liverpool hold their nerve then Milner will have his third league winners medal.
He has also been a regular in the premiership for something like 16 or 17 years now.
The guy is easily one of the best players of the premiership full stop, let alone the best from Leeds
Donn - this is a first!
Agree 100%
Lewis Cook? Hasn’t proven enough yet, however, a lot of promising signs that he’ll go on to have a good career...
From Towson originally, but I reckon we (Leeds the city, not the club 😂) can claim him
See Wilko sometimes I an be right.

Between Milner and Batty for me. Tough one but Milner's from Horsforth, which is my old neck o' t' woods. But Batty played more games for us and was part of the team that won the league in '92. Batts just gets it.

I think the article is about where the player was born not whom he played for.
Charles Barkeley, you never said which sport
Good call there Jonny - a great player 😁😁

Eh?
I know that JLA. Both Milner and Batty were born in Leeds, so they were my nominees, with Batty edging it for reasons given.
