The most memorable goal scored by Leeds

There have been some fantastic players who have been priveldged to wear the Leeds United shirt and to grace the Elland Road pitch. My favourite player as a child was Albert Johansen. I liked him because he was an exiting player to watch. I was too young to remember whether he scored any great memorable goals though. But I do remember goals scored by the great Peter Lorimer and the legendary Eddie Gray.

As far as Eddie Gray is concerned I will always remember the goals he scored at Elland Road against Burnley in I think the year was 1970. Eddie scored two goals that day. His first one was a wonder goal where he collected the ball on the left hand side on the Burnley penaly area and he then dribbled the ball past and beat about 6 players using the most amazing balls skills you will ever see. He then lashed the ball into the far corner of the net.

However Eddie's second goal that day was equally impressive but is not shown as much as his first one that day. For his second goal he collected the ball just inside the Burnley half of the field and moved a few paces forward before realising that the Burnley goalkeeper was off his line. He then hit an amazing shot that went over the goalkeeper and into the net. He must have been 40 yards from goal !

Other players have also scored some memorable goals. More recenly Tony Yeboah scored a fantastic volley for Leeds against Liverpool. He was outside the penalty area and he hit an unstoppable shot that went in off the underside of the crossbar.

There are lots more memorable Leeds goals. I will add to the list as I think of them but if anybody can recommend a great Leeds goal feel free to mention it.
