Former Leeds duo wish luck for promotion.
Past Leeds United stars reached out to the club yesterday to acknowledge their 99th birthday.
Among them were former players from the team of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Nigel Martyn and Michael Bridges.
They starred for Leeds when the Whites came close to stunning Europe as they reached the Champions League semi-finals.
Leeds are a long way from that near success now, still languishing in English football’s second tier.
Rarely has the club shown signs of challenging for promotion, but this year there appears to be a real chance.
Leeds sit in third place after 12 games, just two points off first place.
Both Martyn and Bridges sent messages to the club expressing their wish that this is the year Leeds finally crack it.
Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani made a bold move in the summer by appointing Marcelo Bielsa as manager.
It was a statement of ambition and Bielsa has had a fantastic start, capturing the imagination of the wider footballing public.
The timing could not be better for Leeds to finally recapture their top flight status.
