Speaking on the Seaman Says Podcast, while interviewing Paul Robinson, David Seaman has opened up on his desire to have played for Leeds United.
Seaman, born in Yorkshire, was a boyhood Leeds fan, and he even came through the Leeds academy as a youngster in the 1980s.
However, unfortunately, the goalkeeper was sold to Peterborough at a young age, and he never actually got to play for Leeds, something he seemingly still regrets to this day despite having an incredible career for Arsenal and England.
What’s been said?
Seaman spoke to Robinson about coming through at Leeds.
“One of the other things is that you did you apprenticeship at Leeds and actually played for Leeds. I didn’t quite make it that far, so I am quite jealous of that,” Seaman said.
Could’ve been a legend
Seaman says that he wishes he could have made it at Leeds, and the reality is that he was more than good enough.
Safe Hands, as he was known, would go on to play for England no fewer than 75 times, and he won countless trophies with Arsenal.
Of course, playing for your boyhood club is a completely different kind of dream, but all in all, it’s hard to imagine that Seaman has too many regrets about his career and how it all went.
The reality is that Leeds were lost out here, they missed out on one of the best goalkeepers of a generation, and had he been kept on at United, he could have been a true Elland Road legend.
