7. Leeds signed defender Lucas Radebe from which South African club?

Answer: Kaizer Chiefs

Radebe signed for Leeds in 1994. He was originally a midfielder but was converted to defence by manager Howard Wilkinson. He is nicknamed 'The Chief' by Leeds fans, partly in reference to the Kaizer Chiefs, but also for his rule of the defence.

8. Which of these players was not a midfielder?

Answer: Allan Clarke

Allan Clarke was a striker who played for Leeds from 1969-1978, scoring 110 goals in 273 appearances. His most famous goal came in the 1972 FA Cup final, when he scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Arsenal.

Answer: Mick Jones

The Inter Cities Fairs Cup (now known as the UEFA Cup) was Leeds' first European trophy. They defeated Hungarian side Ferencvaros 1-0 over 2 legs. Jones scored the only goal of the tie in the first leg at Elland Road.

10. A howler which is memorable in Leeds United history. Which goalkeeper once famously threw the ball into his own net?

Answer: Gary Sprake

This happened in a 1967 match at Anfield. Sprake was set to throw the ball to Terry Cooper, only to curtail his throw when he spotted Liverpool winger Ian Callaghan running towards the area. He planned to throw the ball. Unfortunately the curtailing action was not quite smooth enough to maintain a hold on the ball, which slipped out of Sprake's hands behind him and ended up in the net.
