| Back in the 80s I remember Richard Pratt playing a few games at full back / winger - nothing particularly great about him skill wise, but do sem to remember him being quite quick??
ET may not have been the quickest player at Leeds, but my memories of him are so good that he may as well have been 
I only ever saw Rombo really get to pin his ears back once - think it was at Wheldon Road when he scored from about 60-70 yards out? I saw enough to suggest he was very, very quick - shame about the rest of his game though! |

John Basnett. Lightning over the first yard, if he didn't drop the ball. Yards two to twenty were more of a problem.

That change of pace and awareness of space is very reminiscent of John Atkinson. Brilliant.

| Calderwood. Ben Jones-Bishop is no slouch either.
Not played 1st team yet but did anyone see Jamal Chisholm and even Jodie Broughton during the Carnegie 9's?
WOW  |

That said the game was slower back in the late 70's in Smith's Leeds days so it's all relative and on the track he might have struggled with someone like Stuart Chick from the Leeds 'A' team squad a few years later. |

Best example of that kind of change of pace and direction I ever saw was Mark Calderwood so mesmerising Gary Connolly that he fell over backwards - think it might have been 2004/5? |

Wilf Rosenberg aka The Flying Dentist.
His body swerve executed at high speed was a sight for sore eyes.
Unless you were a defender.
