Leeds United legend Lucas Radebe has wished the club a happy birthday on the 99th year of their existence.

Leeds are now fast approaching their centenary year, following the club’s beginning back in 1919.

Radebe was signed by Leeds in 1994 and went onto captain the club.

The South African remains one of Leeds’ most popular players in recent history and stands tall as one of the Premier League’s best ever bargains.

Referring to the club as his second home, Radebe used Twitter to say he is beyond grateful to have been a part of Leeds’ history.

The feeling towards Radebe is mutual, with Leeds fans grateful they got to see the defender captain their club.

The centre-back played 256 times for Leeds before retiring in 2005.

While next year is a special one for Leeds as they turn 100, Radebe will also celebrate a milestone when he reaches 50 in April.
