The Swiss defender was happy to derobe from the waist down.
Leeds United defender Gaetano Berardi is certainly a popular figure among the Elland Road faithful. The Swiss defender is a hard-hitting, strong tackling and uncompromising full-back who certainly taps into the fans needs from a Leeds player.

Berardi entered the fray against Brentford at the weekend, after Charlie Taylor had to limp off during the game.
